Lower is better
Review
The movie is pure slapstick comedy about a 19th-century applejack salesman who becomes a fur trapper and slaughters hundreds of beavers in mascot suits to win the merchant’s daughter. It runs nearly wordless with Looney Tunes-style gags and zero political lectures. One incidental gay rabbit couple gag appears in a single scene. The story engine stays traditional romance and survival with no identity politics, girlboss rewriting, or activist messaging.
