 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In Beaver Valley, sometimes called just Beaver Valley, is a 1950 short film (32 minutes) directed by James Algar.It's one of Disney's "True-Life Adventures" series of nature documentaries. This one purports to depict a single season in a valley somewhere high in the Rockies, christened "Beaver Valley". The film starts out with a lake formed by a beaver dam, and then demonstrates how the beaver builds his little home. Then it follows one young adult beaver from the clan, as it finds a mate, builds its own nest, and stores food for the winter. The film then spends time with the other wildlife of Beaver Valley—herons, ducks, otters, salmon swimming upstream to spawn, and bears.

 Breaking the Fourth Wall: As the narrator says "A mother owl keeps her eye peeled for intruders," that mother owl gazes intently straight at the camera.

 Circling Vultures: The narration observes that, once having spawned in the sands of the riverbed, the salmon basically lay down and die. A sequence shows dying fish limply flopping around in shallow water, then cuts to a shot of birds circling overhead.

 Bears Are Bad News: A scene of salmon leaping the rapids to find their spawning grounds upstream shows that some wind up stuck in shallow pools on the rocks. Then the narration says "a few encounter the Prince of Darkness himself", as the scene cuts to a bear walking through the rapids and scraping fish off the rocks. There's even an ominous musical cue.

 Based on a True Story: All the True-Life Adventure films were led by a credit saying that they were "completely authentic, unstaged, and unrehearsed." This was not true.
