Synopsis

Two stylized nursery rhymes are featured. The first is "The House That Jack Built," presented with characters composed of letters that spell out their names (for example, the cow is made up of an intertwined C, O, and W). The second is "Old MacDonald Had a Band" (not a farm), in which Old MacDonald and his band perform a hot jazz number (even his animals play instruments). The segment concludes when Old MacDonald's wife, tired of doing all the housework, gives him a swift whack on his head with her rolling pin.

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.
