Fantastic Disney Short

Loved this short little nature documentary. It had a calming effect on me, and I couldn't help but smile throughout.

The 'good time charlie' otters and their tobogganing are still making me laugh! Of course, there are also a few 'circle of life' moments regarding predators, but nothing too scary for young children - it's actually quite upbeat and tragedy-free for a Disney documentary.

The beavers themselves were hilarious too, and you can't help but admire these little guys - especially their determination and approach to life.

The changing of seasons in Beaver Valley were really nice too. The whole thing took me back to my time living in North America and the animals I fell in love with. It's this aspect, which makes me recommend it to those outside North America - where these animals are much more of a novelty.
