Synopsis

The cartoon opens with a tour of Porky's Poppa's farm, set to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." As various animals are introduced, the narration reveals that "on this farm, he has a mortgage," a financial burden that Poppa worries about, especially after Bessie, his cow, stops producing milk. In response, Poppa orders an Acme milk-producing robot, setting off a comedic conflict between the animal and the machine.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
