Hoppers is a wild little leap into the animal kingdom.
Hoppers is a 2026 Disney and Pixar animated film about Mabel, an animal lover who uses breakthrough technology to hop her consciousness into a lifelike robotic beaver, opening the door to direct communication with animals and a much bigger environmental showdown.
At a glance
A fast, clean summary for readers who want the essentials before they tumble into the full story.
Released in U.S. theaters as a Disney and Pixar original animated feature.
The film is directed by Daniel Chong and produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle.
An animal lover who uses new hopping tech to enter a lifelike robotic beaver body.
The story spins around human consciousness transferred into robotic wildlife.
What is Hoppers about?
The premise is playful on the surface, but underneath it runs on environmental stakes, identity, empathy, and a comic sci-fi engine.
Story overview
In Hoppers, scientists discover how to transfer a human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, a process they call hopping. Mabel sees the technology as more than a flashy experiment. She uses it to enter the body of a robotic beaver and communicate directly with wildlife.
That leap drops her into an animal world full of hidden rules, oddball personalities, and urgent danger. As she uncovers more, Mabel must rally animals together to confront a major human threat looming over their habitat.
Animal adventure
Environmental stakes
Family animation
What if understanding animals required becoming one?
Funny, bright, emotional, and shaped like a family adventure with real urgency underneath.
It turns communication with animals into a physical and emotional transformation, not just a magical gimmick.
Main cast & characters
The voice lineup gives the movie a lively comic pulse while anchoring Mabel’s story in something warm and personal.
Voiced by Piper Curda
Mabel is the central spark of the movie, a passionate animal lover whose curiosity and courage push the hopping experiment far beyond the lab.
Voiced by Jon Hamm
A human force tied to the larger threat facing the glade, adding pressure and conflict to Mabel’s mission.
Voiced by Bobby Moynihan
Part of the animal-side ensemble, bringing personality and comedic texture to the world Mabel enters.
Includes beavers, deer, ducks, lizards and more
The supporting wildlife community helps the film feel like a bustling ecosystem instead of a single-character showcase.
