Synopsis

In this classic *Looney Tunes* short, a hillbilly patriarch is preparing a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner by feeding it lavishly in order to fatten it for slaughter. Daffy Duck, a fellow farm animal, becomes envious of the turkey's bountiful food supply and hatches a scheme to claim it for himself. Pretending to be concerned for the turkey's well-being, Daffy convinces the bird to diet, warning that if it remains too heavy, the hillbillies will kill it. As the turkey struggles to slim down, Daffy indulges in the food meant for the turkey. On Thanksgiving Day, the turkey is dangerously underweight, so the hillbilly father turns his attention to the now-overweight Daffy as a potential meal.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
