Synopsis

Émile Cohl combines live-action and stop-motion animation in this whimsical depiction of the power of imagination. A magician transforms his cane into a hoop with unusual properties for a young girl. Costume changes and city walks gradually give way to increasing abstraction as the film becomes more focused on what happens within the ring.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
