| Hundreds of Beavers / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Parodied. Jean and the Master Fur Trapper catch and kill woodland critters in all manner of gruesome ways, but the blood and gore are represented by packing peanuts. | |

| Hundreds of Beavers / int_16df2fe7 | comment |
Meat-O-Vision: Initially played straight (Jean sees a rabbit as a giant cut of meat and a nest of eggs as a pan of fried eggs), then parodied (geese are seen as giant pretzels, other rabbits become slices of pizza, and some fish become underwater soft-serve ice cream cones). | |

Bait-and-Switch: Jean tracks several rabbits over a long distance and is able to infer their entire life story. When he finally reaches the end of the tracks, all that is left are their two young rabbit children. Jean tears up, overwhelmed with emotion, but after a Gilligan Cut, we see that he did in fact kill the rabbits anyway. | |

Homage: The log flume chase bears a strong resemblance to the rail car chase in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. At the end of the beaver prosecutor's otherwise gibberish speech, he shouts, "J'accuse!" The music for the end credits is Lubricator, included because of its use for the notoriously incongruent ending of the 1985 Filipino film Blood Debts. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: It's a sign of the times the movie is evoking that The Merchant apparently decides whether or not his daughter The Furrier can marry Jean. Even there she has enough agency to signal to the Master Fur Trapper she doesn't want to marry him when the Merchant proposes he take her hand in marriage. | |
