Hoppers' Teaser Out: Disney Pixar's Film Blends Human And Animal World
Hopper's teaser follows the journey of 19-year-old Mable, who uses advanced technology to transfer her consciousness into the mind of a robotic beaver. Whenever Disney Pixar announces an animated flick, it promises to be a delightful treat. So, on Wednesday, July 16, when the company unveiled the teaser of the upcoming toon Hoppers, it was quick to grab the attention. Hoppers, directed and written by Daniel Chong, follows a plot similar to James Cameron's iconic Avatar movie: it connects the animal and human kingdoms through mind-hopping. Hoppers, featuring actress, singer Piper Curda as the leading voice artist, is scheduled to hit the big screens on March 6, 2026. Hoppers' teaser follows the journey of 19-year-old Mable, who uses advanced technology to transfer her consciousness into the mind of a robotic beaver and inhabit its otherwise lifeless body. The tech-savvy creature is created by a group of scientists known as Hoppers. Mable is on a mission to save the animal habitat that a construction firm wants to destroy. As Mable adjusts herself inside the machine, she says, 'This is like Avatar", teasing the classic film. To this, one of the scientists replies, 'It's not", hinting at all the surprises Hoppers has in store. Initially, Mable, in the beaver body, is exhilarated to discover that she can understand and communicate in the animal language. At one point in the teaser, she tries to save another fellow beaver from a bear attack. However, through the act, she learn an important lesson — in nature, everything is about balance. With forest politics at play, Mable befriends some creatures to win against the cunning and evil Mayor Jerry. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pixar (@pixar) Although Hoppers kicks off as a fun experience, it is likely to become a touching story about identity, purpose and the connection between humans and nature. Social media users showered love on Hoppers' teaser. 'I am so totally going to see this movie in the theatre when it comes," one of them wrote. Another quipped, 'This movie looks like a Dam good time." 'A film about being able to talk to animals? Yes, please," noted one individual. According to Daniel Chong, the Avatar joke in Hoppers was purposeful. The director, in a conversation with Variety, revealed that the film will be 'a little bit crazy" and 'chaotic" with some 'tongue-in-cheek" moments. Apart from Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm have also lent their voices in Hoppers. view comments First Published: July 17, 2025, 16:13 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
