ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** "Beavers" in IMAX was pretty much hilarious from start to finish. When we were installing the new IMAX theater at Pacific Science Center in 1998, I remember that we had a German-soundtrack version of that film for testing. I couldn't say "Bibers" at a staff meeting with a straight face. Maybe it's director Stephen Low's touch...I remember that his film 'Super Speedway' opened with what should have been a pretty conventional scene with a bunch of birds (ducks and geese?) in a barn. But instead, it was a funny/charming moment. Why? Because it slowly dawns on you that the duck is wagging its head in time to the music on the soundtrack!
