Synopsis

A group of moths enters a costume shop through a poorly sealed window and quickly begins devouring the contents. One male moth neglects his female companion to feast on a hat, and she is soon drawn to a candle flame, which quickly ignites. He notices her trapped in a spider web as the fire approaches and attempts to rescue her, but accidentally pours benzene onto the flames. The rest of the moths are called in to assist, and they combat the fire using water-filled bagpipes, an air drop with a water-filled funnel, and other methods, while the hero works to free his lady from the web.

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.
