Synopsis

The Blue Racer attempts to capture Japanese Beetle by hiding inside a hose, but the plan fails when Beetle turns on the faucet. He then tries to catch him by hopping, but this is also unsuccessful as Beetle evades him by crossing a rolling roller. During another chase, Blue Racer encounters a Venus flytrap, which swallows him but then spits him out, commenting that he tasted awful. Determined to catch Beetle from the air, Blue Racer inhales a can of helium and floats upward. However, when he opens his mouth, the loss of helium causes him to fly off course and land in a bag of genuine fertilizer.

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.
