The Beaver Army Is Back! Canada Responds to Trump's EU Threat | Bye USA, Hello Europe! 🇨🇦

Europe offered Canada a seat at the table. Trump called it "laughable," then threatened the EU with tariffs for even asking. Canada's response? The Beaver Army is back. 🦫🇨🇦🇪🇺

Political satire from a Canadian perspective, for anyone who needs a musical break from the news. The animated story and character performances are fictional comedy.

Deep beneath an abandoned Sears, the Beaver Army has been working overtime. When the Tariff Troopers and their Tariff Eagles storm a snowy Canadian airfield to punish Europe for opening the door, they find out just how ready Canada is. Oh, and he's gonna tariff the baguette. (Mon Dieu!) 🥖

Created by Matthew Thomas Gillespie, an animation-trained filmmaker with 20 years in production and post-production. I write the lyrics myself, sketch character sheets and sculpt clay characters. My hybrid approach uses my own artwork as references for AI-assisted imagery and animation, with every shot manually edited in Premiere Pro or CapCut. My toolkit includes a Canon M6 Mark II with Stop Motion Studio for practical claymation, plus Kling AI, MiniMax and Seedance for AI-assisted animation. Techniques vary by film.
