Hoppers: Pixar’s Wild New Adventure Hits Theaters March 6, 2026
Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers bounces into theaters on March 6, 2026, blending sci-fi thrills with animal kingdom chaos in a family-friendly animated comedy. Directed by Daniel Chong (We Bare Bears) and written by Jesse Andrews, it stars Piper Curda as Mabel Tanaka, a passionate animal lover whose mind gets zapped into a lifelike robotic beaver.
Plot Highlights
Mabel hops into the beaver body via cutting-edge “Hoppers” tech to infiltrate Beaverton’s animal world and halt a destructive freeway project led by slick mayor Jerry Generazzo (Jon Hamm). She teams up with charismatic beaver King George (Bobby Moynihan), uncovers council intrigues among species like insects and birds, and faces high-stakes action—from dam explosions to wildfire rescues. It’s a tale of friendship, environmental heroism, and humans fumbling in the wild, with Mission: Impossible spy vibes and Avatar-style wonder.
Stellar Voice Cast
The ensemble shines with Kathy Najimy, Dave Franco, Meryl Streep, and more voicing animal royals and quirky critters. Mark Mothersbaugh scores the 105-minute romp, his first full Pixar feature.
Why It Stands Out
Inspired by robot cams in nature docs, Hoppers swaps penguins for ecosystem-hero beavers, delivering laughs on habitat defense without heavy preaching. Early trailers tease vibrant animation and heart, perfect for kids and eco-fans alike.
Mark your calendars—Hoppers promises Pixar’s signature mix of humor, heart, and habitat heroics this weekend.
