Wonderfully Wacky Trailer For a Looney Tunes Stye Live-Action Movie HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS
I’ve got a very interesting trailer for you to watch today for a wacky fun indie film titled Hundreds of Beavers. The film has a very Looney Tunes kind of tone to it, but it’s done in live-action. The movie looks ridiculous, but I dig the vibe!
The movie comes from director Mike Cheslik, and the movie “captures zany and anarchic energy by featuring a new gag every few seconds. It has many one-offs but similarly builds momentum with slower build-ups and call-backs that keep the experience fresh and surprising. A man-versus-nature narrative about overcoming the cruel and unforgiving landscape of a northeastern winter, Hundreds of Beavers is an uproarious and dynamic theatrical experience."
The film’s description reads: "Paying homage to silent cinema and cartoonality, Mike Cheslik's feature debut Hundreds of Beavers opens with an epic animated sequence introducing us to our trusty hero, a drunken applejack salesman whose supply of Applejack Cider is ruined due to the work of some hungry beavers. To recover his fortune, he must become the greatest fur trapper the continent has ever seen by defeating hundreds of beavers. Hundreds of Beavers is a no-dialogue heroic epic that is endlessly inventive, embracing the innovative spirit of cinema's first decades while using animation to reimagine natural laws in creative and compelling ways."
As you’ll see, this is going to be a wild and weird movie, and I can’t wait to see it! The movie initially premiered at the 2023 Fantasia Film Festival. Raven Banner will debut Hundreds of Beavers sometime later in 2023.
