Synopsis

It's bath day for Pluto, and the cartoon opens with him already being scrubbed clean. After stepping out of the tub, Pluto tugs at a towel with Mickey, causing the mouse to fall back into the water. A bar of soap then jumps out of the tub and is accidentally swallowed by Pluto, who proceeds to hiccup colorful soap bubbles as Mickey chases after him. When Pluto exits the house, people on the street mistake him for being rabid, prompting them to hide and throw objects at him. Dogcatcher Pete arrives and aims to shoot Pluto, but Mickey catches up just in time. He first tries to reason with Pete, then resorts to physical combat, but they escape when Mickey tosses a kitten into Pete's pants. During the ensuing chase, a fruit cart adds to the chaos, and the pair ultimately manage to crash Pete into his own truck.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
