Dropout has become the ultimate streaming destination for fans of quirky, inventive comedy, showcasing everything from Game Changer to Make Some Noise, allowing comedians to push the boundaries of absurdity. Now, the platform has introduced a film that perfectly aligns with this offbeat vibe — and you can catch it for free with a Dropout subscription.
Hundreds of Beavers, a delightfully bizarre silent comedy from 2024, is now available for streaming on Dropout. If you missed its theatrical and VOD release, this is your chance to discover why it has emerged as one of the year’s standout cult comedies.
Critics have hailed Hundreds of Beavers as the funniest film of 2024, likening it to a contemporary spin on the silent films of legends like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, all while incorporating the whimsical logic of video games.
The story follows Jean Kayak (played by Ryland Brickson Cole Tews), a trapper whose life spirals into chaos when a horde of beavers wreaks havoc. Stranded in a snowy wilderness, Kayak must navigate survival by hunting animals and collecting beaver pelts, all in hopes of earning enough to marry the daughter of a merchant.
This black-and-white, dialogue-free slapstick comedy feels like a classic silent film transformed into a video game. Kayak gradually upgrades his gear, learns the behaviors of various animals, and accumulates beaver pelts, complete with counters and game-like menus.
And then there are the beavers. Many are portrayed by actors in oversized mascot costumes, including beaver construction workers, lawyers, judges, and even a detective duo reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Reportedly made for just $150,000, the film showcases the directors’ creativity and resourcefulness, achieving an impressive 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes. If you enjoy your comedy strange, physical, and wholeheartedly committed to the absurd, Hundreds of Beavers is a must-add to your Dropout watchlist.
