In this 19th century, supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America’s greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.. The film’s estimated budget was around $150,000. Director Mike Cheslik estimated that the mascot costumes cost around $10,000, and the crew bought all of the costumes online.. After the Watson Beaver "faints," his mustache falls off & lands in the snow as he stands back up. He is wearing it again in the very next scene despite walking away from it without picking it up..

Before seeing the movie at the Hamburg Fantasy Filmfest, I wondered how an hour and a half of playtime can be filled with the ideas in the trailer without getting slow or tedious. Now I actually wonder when it was the last time I laughed that much through a whole movie. While delivering a consistent, smart, reduced and extremely efficient visual style, the presentation doesn’t let your focus away for one second, otherwise you might miss something funny. The way it symbolizes, repeats and develops the events by smart iteration in a limited universe is excellent! I highly recommend seeing it. Not for small kids.
