Story
In this supernatural winter epic set in the 19th century, a drunken applejack must go from nothing to hero and become the greatest fur trapper in North America by defeating hundreds of beavers. Director Mike Cheslick estimated that the mascot’s costumes cost around $10,000 and the crew bought all the costumes online.

After Watson the Beaver “faints”, his mustache falls off & lands in the snow as he stands back up. Jean Kayak and His Acme Applejack Written and produced by Wayne Tews Engineered and co-produced by Karl Landwehr.

This movie is like a combination of the best classic cartoon sketches, put together, added with a hint of video game logic, then stretched into a full length movie and somehow nailing it.
One of the most fun theater experiences I’ve had in quite a while, the audience was belly laughing the whole time
Not to mention, for such a small budget they really pulled off the cartoon style with perfect set-ups or simple but effective tools like goofy costumes and a plethora of humorous props.
