When the animal kingdom is faced with the threat of the destruction of their homes, it’s up to a passionate animal-loving teenager to save the day. In Disney and Pixar’s new comedy adventure “Hoppers,” its protagonist Mabel goes from fighting against the town’s mayor to hopping her consciousness into a robot beaver– all in the hopes of stopping the human threat. If that sounds like a loaded premise, it’s because it is; making “Hoppers” a wild and unexpected comedy that will leave audiences laughing out loud.
Now showing in Philippines cinemas nationwide, “Hoppers” delivers a unique comedic tone and fun characters as Mabel hops into beaver form to explore the many wonders of the animal kingdom.

“The thing that always guided us was the comedy and the characters,” says director Daniel Chong (“We Bare Bears”). “That was what we chased the hardest. We knew it was our team’s strong suit, and we made sure early on to establish a unique comedic tone with fun characters to build everything on.”
“A story like this, with characters arguing constantly, has to be funny,” adds producer Nicole Paradis Grindle (“Incredibles 2”). “We wanted it to have emotion and feature a ton of action, too. It’s even a thriller when you get to the final scenes. But the humor was the initial key, since it brings people in. It’s an amazing story to tell in animation, this idea that we can see into that animal world and enjoy animals, as animals.”

In “Hoppers,” two worlds hang in the balance. The animal world, threatened by Mayor Jerry Generazzo (voiced by Jon Hamm) and the human world, threatened by retaliation from the animals. Finding herself in a bit of a pickle is Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda), a passionate animal lover that will use new technology to “hop” into a life-like robotic beaver, and will try to mend the situation between both worlds. What follows is a story filled with a lot of fun twists and turns, with loads of laughter and glade-saving action in between.
“Hoppers” also features the voices of Bobby Moynihan, Dave Franco, and Meryl Streep.
