Synopsis

Oswald wakes up in a bad mood and takes it out on his alarm clock. He then attempts to wake up the mechanical cow sleeping next to him in bed, with little success. Eventually, they get up and go out, sailing around the barnyard and offering milk to the other farm animals. When kidnappers arrive and take Oswald's girlfriend, he and the cow decide to set off on a mission to rescue her.

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.
