Synopsis

A battleship, primarily crewed by dogs and Porky, is commanded by a captain whose voice closely resembles that of Yosemite Sam. As the crew nearly reaches the mess hall before him, the captain orders them to stop, and they freeze in place, some mid-air. The ship receives a radio transmission offering a reward for capturing a pirate submarine, prompting the crew to depart in planes in search of it, leaving Porky behind. Naturally, the sub attacks the ship, and the defense falls to Porky. He successfully repels the boarding party and manages to haul the submarine onboard using a plunger.

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.
