Synopsis

Jakob, the son of a market woman, helps an elderly woman carry her groceries one day. The woman is, in fact, a herb witch, who enchants Jakob, transforming him into a dwarf with an unusually large nose. He becomes her servant and is trained to become an excellent cook. Many years later, Jakob returns to his parents in his enchanted form, but they fail to recognize him. Feeling disheartened, he offers his services to the duke's kitchen, where he is regarded as a master of his trade. Despite his success, he faces a challenge when he is unable to identify the herb "sneeze-with-lust." Fortunately, his new friend, Mimi the enchanted goose—who he has previously saved—possesses the knowledge he lacks.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
