Synopsis

In an effort to cheer up a group of orphans, Mickey and his friends stage a revue. Donald attempts to recite nursery rhymes, but the children tease him. Horace, Goofy, and Clarabelle perform a dance routine. Donald tries again, this time with Clara singing a clucking song while Mickey plays the piano, accompanied by an unseen orchestra. Donald returns to the stage, and the orphans, in a final act of mischief, send a parade of bricks and eggs suspended on balloons toward him, using slingshots to drop them on his head.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
