Beaver Valley was the second entry in Walt Disney's popular "True Live Adventures" series. Narrated by Winston Hibler, this 32-minute Technicolor documentary takes the viewer into the wilderness regions of Montana and Minnesota. Cinematographer Alfred Milotte, evidently an extremely patient man, manages to obtain fascinating close-ups of a group of beavers at work and play. Also featured are such "supporting characters" as a coyote, a bear and a family of otters. Kids will love the film's "Frog Symphony," wherein the nocturnal croaking of a bunch of puffed-up frogs and toads is set to music. Like its predecessor Seal Island, Beaver Valley was honored with an Academy Award.
