Synopsis

Minnie is baking cookies when she briefly leaves the room, allowing her dog Fifi to accidentally drop popcorn kernels into the dough. Mickey and Pluto arrive to visit with Minnie and Fifi. Upon noticing something burning, Mickey alerts Minnie, who realizes the cookies are popping due to the popcorn. Upset, Minnie lies on the sofa and begins to cry. Mickey then goes out and purchases a large quantity of cookies and crackers, returning to show them to her, which lifts her spirits and makes her overjoyed. The short was originally a theatrical advertisement for the National Biscuit Company (now Nabisco), featuring various Nabisco products such as Ritz Crackers, Oreo Cookies, and Fig Newtons. These branded products were later removed and replaced with generic brands in television broadcasts and home video releases.

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.
