When it was released in 1988, the giant screen production Beavers brought audiences closer than ever to the shy, mysterious creatures that have been steadfastly reshaping the landscapes of the planet for eons. Beavers has become a cinema classic and world-wide family favorite—a film still in exhibition nearly two decades later. In 1989 it was awarded the Jury Prize and was co-winner of the Public Prize at the Second International Giant Screen Festival at La Geode, Paris; and in 2004, the film was inducted into the Maximum Image Hall of Fame by IMAX® theaters from around the world.
