Synopsis

Donald is manning a listening post when he falls asleep. In his sleep, he blows trumpet calls, which wake his nephews. In retaliation, the nephews launch a model airplane filled with gingerbread men equipped with parachutes. Donald shoots the plane down and cowers in fear when the parachutes deploy, accompanied by a simulated battle, until one lands on his beak. He then kicks his nephews out, only to mistake a bee for an airplane and calls them back to help fight the perceived threat.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
