I can't believe I've actually found a place where other people have seen this movie too! I saw it on HBO shortly after it came out in 1978 and have been looking for it for the past ten years. I remember the title song, but not much of the movie, except for the beaver costume and his dance. Have been looking for a copy to buy, but if not available commercially, would be interested in getting a video copy. This is a great site!
Granted, the last time I saw this was at a midnight movie in college, but I remember that poor, sad beaver trying to find a tree to eat - it was so funny. You haven't lived till you've seen a guy in a beaver costume dance disco. What I remember about this movie is that there are several funny scenarios that seem separate, but all the plot lines tied up into one and it all made sense at the end. This movie has spoof after spoof - I loved how in the middle of a completely different story, the disco beaver would wander through the scene. Wish I could see it again now that I'm in my 40's - might have a different take on it. If you like Airplane, Top Secret or any Abrams/Zucker movie, you'd probably like this.
Before Amazon Women on the Moon, before the Kentucky Fried Movie, before them all (I think), there was Disco Beaver from Outer Space. I watched it on HBO and my dad taped it and then I proceeded to watch the tape to death - I have never seen it in a store for rent. It's great - silly, fun, like the National Lampoon used to be. Sure, it was 1978, it's got Disco Beaver for goodness' sake - it makes fun of TV and movies, it's not politically correct, but just Dragula alone makes it worth watching.
i saw this movie right after it came out back in the late 70's. soon after it disappeared and i looked everywhere for a copy of it to no avail. it took me 10 yrs to get a copy thats in pretty good shape. if you like humor then this is a great movie for you to see.
I still remember when this first came on HBO and looked for it for years in the video store and on the net. Verry funny and a classic for it's time. Also includes an Oingo Boingo song "Martian Girls" which is a triple speed version of the Beach Boys "California Girls" in New Wave form. I highly recommend it if you can get it and would like a copy myself if anyone has one.
