Violence and gore in Hundreds of Beavers

Slapstick — the hero repeatedly killed and reset by cartoon logic. Animals trapped for fur in a completely non-graphic, Looney Tunes register.

Language in Hundreds of Beavers

This film is almost entirely without spoken dialogue or written profanity. Because it utilizes silent film techniques and physical comedy, there are no instances of strong language or verbal insults for parents to worry about.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Hundreds of Beavers

Mature themes in Hundreds of Beavers

A film that exists outside contemporary filmmaking — pure silent-era slapstick logic applied to a fur-trade setting. The ambition of achieving this level of comic choreography on a micro-budget is genuinely impressive.
