Hundreds of Beavers

Wow. Just, wow. Taking its cues from Looney Tunes, Super Mario, Abbot & Costello & Jackie Chan amongst others, Mike Cheslik's note-perfect homage to the zany cartoons & comedies of the 1920s & 30s is an absolute riot from snout to paddle-tail.

Shot in snowy rural USA, the story follows a drunken applejack salesman who finds himself in conflict with, well, hundreds of beavers. And throughout his ongoing beef with said varmints, he is also attempting to woo a local fur merchant's daughter. Black & white & dialogue free for the most part, this is highly original yet wonderfully derivative cinema, but most importantly very funny indeed.
