Runtime

Synopsis

Mickey Mouse and several other characters are part of a prison chain gang under the watch of Pegleg Pete. While they initially break rocks, Mickey pulls out a harmonica, prompting everyone to begin dancing and making music. The scene quickly turns chaotic as a jailbreak ensues, and Mickey goes on the run, pursued by bloodhounds, including Pluto in his first appearance. Mickey eventually falls off a cliff and lands directly into a jail cell.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
