Is the movie The Beaver available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?
We at Stream Tracker take a look at The Beaver (2011), Jodie Foster’s dark, intimate drama about a toy-company CEO, Walter Black, who adopts a beaver hand puppet as a desperate form of self‑therapy to reconnect with his family. The film trades in puppetry, fractured fatherhood and quiet madness, following Walter’s struggle with depression and his son Porter’s push for a way out. Starring Mel Gibson and directed by Jodie Foster, The Beaver premiered at the 2011 Venice Film Festival — where Gibson’s performance earned festival recognition. In the article below, we check whether you can stream this unsettling family portrait on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+.
