You’re in for something truly wild — and we mean that literally. For the very first time on the big screen here in Donegal, we’re proud to present a film that’s as surreal as it is side-splitting.
Set in the 19th century and soaked in snow, cider, and chaos, Hundreds of Beavers follows a drunken applejack salesman who must rise from rock bottom to become North America’s greatest fur trapper — all while facing off against a relentless army of beavers. Not CGI beavers… but full-sized, costumed, human-powered beavers, right there on the screen in all their ridiculous glory.
A cinematic experience like no other, and a throwback to the classic silent comedies of yore — the kind of film that begs to be seen with a crowd, on the big screen – so sit back, buckle up, and prepare for traps, romance, snow, slapstick — and yes, hundreds of beavers.
Let the madness begin!
“★★★★ Joyfully confident and hugely inventive, the film barrels along from silly set-piece to sillier set-piece.” – Nick de Semlyen, Empire Magazine
“[A] unique mix of silent-era slapstick, animation elements, theme-park-style critter costumes, and general air of inspired absurdity.” – Dennis Harvey, Variety
“Mike Cheslik’s outrageous escalation of the classic hunter-hunted dynamic becomes a miraculous DIY celebration of enduring, universal truths about how we make each other laugh.” – Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine
