Synopsis

A road sign questions, "Is this trip really necessary?" Woody Woodpecker replies, "Sure, it's necessary. I'm a necessary evil." Demonstrating little concern for patriotic duty, Woody is unaware of ration books when he stops at a gas station for a refill. The attendant, thinking Woody is mocking him, takes a large mallet and smashes him and his car into a junkyard several miles away. Fortunately, some of the discarded cars still contain a bit of gasoline. Woody uses a rubber hose to siphon fuel from them. Unfortunately, one of the cars he chooses is brand new and happens to be a police car. Woody soon finds himself in conflict with a bulldog police officer.

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.
