Synopsis

It's the day of the big baseball game between the Drips and the Droops, and Woody Woodpecker is attempting to sneak into the ballpark without purchasing a ticket. A policeman repeatedly ejects him, but Woody evades detection by donning a baseball uniform—including a baseball cap, even though baseball players typically do not wear such headgear—and successfully gains entry. He soon becomes involved in the game, and in the chaos that follows, he is ultimately pinned to the scoreboard by a barrage of baseballs thrown by the crowd in the ballpark.

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.
