Pixar's latest animated movie is coming to your living room. Disney+ confirmed the streaming premiere date for Hoppers on Thursday. UAE families can watch the body-swap comedy starting next month.
What to Expect from Hoppers
The story follows Mabel, a young animal lover who makes a wild decision. She uses new technology to transfer her mind into an ultra-realistic robotic beaver. Her mission is to infiltrate the animal kingdom and understand what wildlife really thinks.
The movie offers a fresh take on the classic sci-fi concept of mind-swapping, tailored for younger audiences. Along the way, Mabel befriends a real beaver named King George. She also has to protect her new friends from a developer named George, voiced by Jon Hamm. The film mixes classic Pixar humor with a heartwarming message about nature.
The Star-Studded Voice Cast
Piper Curda voices the lead character, Mabel. Bobby Moynihan co-stars as the voice of King George, the beaver who helps Mabel fit in with the local wildlife. Jon Hamm plays the main human antagonist, a local developer with plans that threaten the forest.
The voice cast also includes several veteran comedic actors who bring the forest animals to life. Daniel Chong directed the feature film. Chong is best known as the creator of the popular animated series We Bare Bears. His experience with animal-centric comedy shines through in this latest release.
