Synopsis

Jack Carlisle is a 13-year-old boy who feels disillusioned and neglected, as his mother is often away at work since his father left the family. Determined to run away because he believes his mother won't notice his absence, Jack prepares to leave. Just as he is about to go, his nanny convinces him to read a "magic book" before he leaves. The book tells the story of a pirate adventure on Magic Island. As Jack reads, he is mysteriously transported into the story's world, where he embarks on various adventures with Prince Morgan, while evading the villainous Blackbeard the Pirate. During his journey, Jack is rescued by Lily, a mermaid, and develops feelings for her.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
