I need this for the whole movie. I sure hope the future blu-ray includes a director's commentary

[@RollieMcSplat]

Seconded!

Even the VFX Breakdown for Hundreds of Beavers feels like Hundreds of Beavers

Watched this movie this past weekend, and laughed my butt off. My favorite movie this year so far.

[@znirich]

By far one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time

[@chaysefox]

I love this stuff, after watching to movie countless times. Seeing these breakdowns/behind the scene/commentaries just like gravy.

[@trolololololo123]

watched this stoned out of my mind and had a blast only comparable to Leprechaun 5 in the Hood which is the highest of compliment

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

I love this movie, great work on such a low budget! And the costumes are adorable. I never would have guessed you only had 1 wolf costume!

[@Asherbw]

So simple, but so effective. Great movie!

[@claytonandres1194]

OK but all the stuff in the last 15 minutes of the film, that was all practical right?

[@angrytabby4580]

Yes especially the apple cider nuke 😂

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

Well, the beaver combiner was definitely a guy in a special outfit.

[@collinblack]
