Hoppers (2026) is an animated science-fiction comedy from Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Daniel Chong and written by Jesse Andrews, the film features voice performances from Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, and Dave Franco. The story centers on Mabel Tanaka, an animal lover whose mind is transferred into a lifelike robotic beaver so she can communicate with wildlife and stop the destruction of their habitat—accidentally sparking an animal uprising in the process. Chong began developing the project at Pixar in late 2020, with the film officially announced in August 2024 after six years of development. The score was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, and SZA wrote and performed the end-credits song “Save the Day.” Hoppers premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on February 23, 2026, screened at the New York International Children's Film Festival on February 28, and opened in U.S. theaters on March 6. The film received positive reviews and has earned about $88 million w
