Synopsis

Stewart, a character known as Larry the Cucumber, faces a defining moment in the biggest football game of his life, where he has a chance to secure victory. However, a single bad play leaves him injured, ending his hopes of playing in the Salad Bowl and achieving fame and fortune. Years later, Stewart, now a silly but sweet individual, finds contentment in his family, friends, and job at a toy train factory, though he still contemplates what might have been. When he encounters a mysterious train conductor who offers the ability to turn back time, Stewart is given an opportunity to live the life he once desired. The story explores whether he will find true fulfillment through this chance and what the consequences might be for those he loves. It is a tale of wonder and a lesson in the value of contentment.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
