I talked about it in the horror thread but I haven't stopped thinking about the disembowelment rendered in plush a lot since I saw it.

I get the impression that the first thirty minutes were created as a proof-of-concept, pilot for a youtube series, or something like that. At pretty much exactly that half-hour mark, there’s a very clear demarcation: you get opening credits, there’s an entirely new story that kicks in, and there’s a uptick in the overall quality. Cinematography, effects work, etc. - they all get noticeably better, looking more like the product of stylistic choices than budgetary limitations. My guess is that, since the 30-minute short does have a degree of plot relevance, they just lumped it in with the actual film.

fursuit beaver Clarence Darrow is perhaps as absurd a character as could be imagined

What this movie reminded me of the most in terms of style was probably Forbidden Zone. I was on board from the opening sequence. After that though, the first third of the movie felt almost tedious but then the movie kept building up on the progressively introduced elements to an insane and ultimately rewarding conclusion. Among all the crazyness the trap line handover scene was surprisingly melodramatic.

The filmmakers have been on quite a few podcasts talking about the production and I'd say the disconnect is doing start-stop production on no budget during the pandemic.

There's a few scenes of fighting the beavers early on, then they mostly disappear until much later. The two small fights against them seemed like part of a short they were able to use to get more fundraising with.

The proof-of-concept pilot was the last 20 minutes of Ryland Brickson Cole Tews previous film "Lake Michigan Monster", where Ryland as a captain fights a sea witch underwater. Whole sequence is BW and is the exact kind of cartoon logic green screen shenanigans this movie relishes in. Like Flashy mentioned, they've been pretty open in interviews that was the case, but it's also pretty obvious watching the two flicks. Trailer has buncha shots from that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz6JggR66L4 Recall hearing they only had six beaver costume total, so not sure you can read into them disappearing for the middle chunk, particularly given there's other animal mascot suits in those bits anyway. Captain Jesus posted:What this movie reminded me of the most in terms of style was probably Forbidden Zone. Realized recently this film is way more Hellzapoppin' than Buster Keaton, unrelenting gags. Forbidden Zone is stylistically pretty apt too. Shame Oingo Boingo didn't make more flicks.
