Hundreds of Beavers
“Nearly dialogue-free, “Hundreds of Beavers” is a madcap genre-hopper, mixing silent film performance styles with hand-drawn animation, slapstick comedy, Looney Tunes-like sound effects and stop-motion graphics. Like a Super Mario Brothers video game, its action unfolds in vignettes, with Jean outwitting whimsically disproportionate beavers and responding to fatal interactions with unlimited resurrections.” – NY Times
Synopsis:
In this 19th-century supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and defeat hundreds of beavers to become North America’s greatest fur trapper.
JEAN KAYAK finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with only his dim wits to guide him. Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and sinister creatures – all played by actors in full-sized mascot costumes – KAYAK develops increasingly complex traps to win the hand of a mischievous lover.
