Synopsis

Donald listens to a radio program that explains how to build an airplane from plastic, using a process similar to baking a cake, making cookies, and toasting bread. Inspired, he takes the plane for a test flight, following the instructions provided by the radio, and it performs well. However, when the radio interviewer asks if there are any problems, the answer is that the plane melts when it gets wet. Naturally, Donald flies into a rain cloud, and soon finds himself struggling to control his disintegrating aircraft.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
