Synopsis

Mickey, seemingly shipwrecked, ends up on a raft and eventually washes ashore on a tropical island. There, he finds a banana tree to satisfy his hunger. He later discovers a piano that has also washed up on the shore and begins playing it. The sound attracts the animals; a gorilla joins in by playing a four-hand piece with his feet, after which he smashes the piano. Mickey flees but accidentally wakes a lion, which chases him to a stream. There, Mickey jumps onto a rock, only to find himself dangerously close to a crocodile.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
