The biggest dam movie you ever saw! Have you ever danced in the moonlight, played in the shadow of great mountains, or fled before a charging bear? Have you ever been swimming in frigid waters beneath the ice or lived inside a beaver's house? Beavers (31 minutes) plunges into the rich aquatic habitat of one of nature's greatest engineers for an intimate look. Set in pristine forests and waters in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, this film follows the story of a family of beavers as they grow, play and transform the world around them. Includes a 27-minute "making of" documentary. 58 minutes.

Beavers
First saw at IMAX, but had to buy it. Entertaining movie about beavers. Loses a star, because some of the scenes use "tame" beavers (from a zoo or something like that).

Terrible Disappointment
I have never been so compelled to write a negative review. This film is not good, most definitely not educational, and simply irritating. I saw this DVD and thought, "this is going to be great--an imax film about beavers. How cool is that?" Well, I was thoroughly disappointed. The beaver footage was obviously setup and did not represent natural behavior; the background music was obnoxious and not fitting; beavers do not make loud moans and actually they make very little noise at all; and the film was too "done up"--if they would have only filmed the beavers and left it at that! This film was such a let down and a big missed opportunity and cleaver and creative it was not. Do not buy this DVD and if you do, please do not think anything in this film is educational or factual--oh yah, and if you do choose to put yourself through the misery, put the player on mute so you do not have to listen the fake, irritating beaver noises and the obnoxious, ill-suited background music.

Excellent documentary.
Originally saw this movie at a Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.
The kids loved it and so did I.

Fun Nature movie for all ages
I first viewed this at an IMAX jammed packed with families. Our group consisted of adults, teens & young child. We adored it along with the rest of the crowd.
While it is educational it is also entertaining with a bit of good humor too. The movie runs just abt 30 minutes.

Who Knew?
Fun and educational. Who knew what an impact this animals had on the land. The ending where they discusss how they filmed is also very interesting. I don't have one, but it would probably be even better on a large screen HD set.

This Film Calms My Young Grandson Every Time
I first found this film on the Discovery Channel and recorded it for my two-year-old grandson. He was fascinated by it and asked to watch it again and again. Sometimes when he stayed overnight with me, he'd wake up homesick and crying in the wee hours of the morning. Often the only way I could calm him was to turn on "Beavers." Okay, I know. . . I know. . . but many parents and grandparents will agree that you do what you have to do to calm a two-year-old in the middle of the night. Anyway, the point is that this is a beautiful, fascinating, and well-done film about a very interesting animal. I've watched it dozens of times and still enjoy it! PS: I bought the DVD and sent it home with my grandson. My daughter and son-in-law love it as much as we do. If you like nature and wildlife films, buy this one. You'll love it.

Beautiful Movie
This is an informative, calming , beautiful movie. I had never seen beavers in action. Seeing how they take down these tall trees and drag them to the water to build their dams. I could watch this movie everyday. I love watching their sweet family life inside the dam. The courting dance they do on the full moon is the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Beuatifully photographed
This was the first DVD I bought after going flat screen, hi def. How happy I was to see this. It's simply well photographed, and aside from finding out that domesticated beavers were used as stand-ins for the real wild variety, it's a beautifully photographed work. Plus, I've never had to live with beavers, so I think they're cute.

The Incredible Beaver Cam!
This documentary is not only educational but at times very amusing and entertaining. The sounds and the music are great and the underwater cinematography is just spectacular.
If you love nature and documentaries, this is G-rated Beaver Cam the whole family can enjoy!

Beavers - Busy yet Hilariously Interesting
This is an amazing video. Shot in the 1980's this footage still seems vivid and alive! You get to see the life of a family of beavers from a very great perspective. The shots are amazing and leave you wondering just how they did that. The documentary provides a great and almost hilarious look at beavers. The noises they make are not what I thought a beaver would make. It sounds like "Mini-Me" from Austin Powers whining whenever they want something. They are cute and interesting which, when combined, make a very funny yet powerful movie. The length does not do this movie justice. I would recommend buying this video for children and adults who are interested in beavers or to anyone who wants a quick, educational laugh
