“Leave it to Beavers” transports us into the often overlooked world of beavers. These animals are often viewed as pests but this documentary will alter your perspective as we see how the intellect and hard work of beavers is being used by humans for practical purposes. These have to be the cutest rodents alive, particularly the little ones who sound like babies. It is amusing to see the accuracy with which beavers are portrayed in cartoons, typically as carpenters and diligent workers. While the beavers are adorable, I was much more impressed with other documentaries in the Nature series (particularly “Raccoon Nation” and “Tall Blondes”). “Leave it to Beavers” isn’t the best documentary that you’ll ever watch but is worth seeing to learn about the world’s busiest rodents.
