Synopsis

Friz Freleng's second directorial effort—under his legal name "Isadore" and credited as co-director with Rudolf Ising—is a silent *Oswald the Lucky Rabbit* short, made soon after Charles Mintz acquired the rights to the character and nearly all his crew from Walt Disney. In the film, Oswald takes in Homer, a small kitten, and attempts to teach him table manners and give him a bath, but Homer retaliates using a clothesline and a player piano.

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.
