Synopsis

Donald Duck visits a museum of modern inventions and manages to enter without paying. There, he meets a robot butler who repeatedly takes Donald's hat whenever he sees him. Annoyed, Donald uses magic to restore his hat each time and continues on. Disregarding a warning sign, Donald plays with a wrapping machine, which ends up wrapping him. He also tries out a robot nursemaid and a fully automatic barber chair, neither of which proves helpful to him.

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.
