Synopsis

Mr. Magoo mistakenly heads to an airport instead of the movies and boards a plane, believing it to be a theater. Unaware that the man seated next to him is a thief, Magoo becomes entangled in a real-life mystery when a detective boards the plane to apprehend the criminal. Thinking the entire situation is part of the movie, Magoo participates in the unfolding events, including a daring act of wing walking. After returning to the plane, he helps the detective expose the thief. Upon landing, Magoo comments that the experience should have been shown as a movie, especially one featuring "that delightful near-sighted fellow."

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.
