The Flying Mouse

Runtime
9 min
Animation

Synopsis

To the tune "I Would Like to Be a Bird," a young mouse creates wings from two leaves, much to the amusement of his brothers when his attempts to fly fail. After rescuing a butterfly from a spider, he discovers it is actually a fairy, who grants him his wish for wings. However, his bat-like appearance makes it difficult for him to fit in with either the birds or the other mice, leaving him friendless; even the bats mock him. Written by Jon Reeves.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
