Pixar Heads to the Forest in Adorable Trailer for Its New Bear Adventure 'Hoppers'
NEED TO KNOW Pixar released the first trailer for its new movie Hoppers on Wednesday, July 16 The movie follows a young woman named Mabel who uses newly-created technology to import her mind into a robotic beaver, enabling her to communicate with the animal kingdom Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm star in the movie's voice cast; the film is in theaters March 6, 2026Pixar is unveiling its next movie! On Wednesday, July 16, the legendary animation studio released the first trailer for its new animal-themed movie Hoppers, which introduces audiences to Mabel, a young woman voiced by Piper Curda (May December, Matlock), who is given access to newly created technology by scientists at the fictional Beaverton University that allows humans to step inside the mind of an animal. When Mabel steps inside the mind of a robotic beaver that the scientists have created for her, she ventures out into the wild for the first time with an entirely new perspective on the animal kingdom and has an alarming meeting with another beaver and a bear who threatens to eat the poor creature — only to learn that Mabel has upset "the natural order" of the wild. "In 'Hoppers,' the question we're answering is: 'What if we could understand and communicate with the animal world?'' the movie's director, Daniel Chong, said in a statement about the trailer's release. 'Our main character, Mabel, gets to discover the animal kingdom as an animal, which can be weird and often hilarious. Mabel undercover in the animal world leads to a wild, roller coaster ride of a movie, with all the heart you expect from a classic Pixar film. It's going to be so much fun to watch in the theater; I can't wait for everyone to see it.' An official synopsis for Hoppers reads that "scientists have discovered how to 'hop' human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals!" "Using the new technology, Mabel will uncover mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined," the synopsis adds.
