Editorial Review
Beavers follows a pair of these industrious creatures as they leave the shelter of their colony in search of a site to build a new home. The film chronicles their daily activities and the dangers they face as they find a site, build a dam, and start their own family.
When it was released in 1988, the giant screen production Beavers brought audiences closer than ever to the shy, mysterious creatures that have been steadfastly reshaping the landscapes of the planet for eons. Still in exhibition more than twenty years later, Beavers has become a cinema classic and world-wide family favorite. In 1989 it was awarded the Jury Prize and was co-winner of the Public Prize at the Second International Giant Screen Festival at La Geode, Paris; and in 2004, the film was inducted into the Maximum Image Hall of Fame by IMAX® theaters from around the world.
