Synopsis

At the racetrack, a group of Goofy lookalike spectators place bets on the horses. A well-dressed, wealthy Goofy wagers on the equally refined horse Snapshot III, while a more ordinary-looking Goofy supports the scruffy Old Moe. When the race begins, Snapshot and his rider display overconfidence by delaying their start for several minutes. Once they begin, Snapshot resorts to underhanded tactics, including tripping and biting other horses. However, Snapshot's vanity ultimately costs him the race, as he pauses to pose for the photo finish. Old Moe is declared the winner.

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.
