"Hundreds of Beavers" built a cult following with its wild, black-and-white slapstick comedy about a fur trapper doing battle with an army of beavers (played by performers in cartoonish animal suits), all set against a frozen Northwoods backdrop and scored like a silent-era film. This screening brings that same frostbitten, Looney Tunes-meets-Buster Keaton energy to The Beverly Theater, with a wintery, holiday-tinged spin fitting for the season.

Expect practical effects, exaggerated physical comedy, and a story told almost entirely without dialogue, relying on visual gags and inventive sound design instead. It's the kind of movie that rewards a theater audience, where the laughs land harder in a room full of people catching the same absurd beaver-related mayhem together. The Beverly's intimate main theater, with its sharp acoustics, makes a fitting home for a film built on sound effects and physical comedy timing.
