Pixar has released the second trailer for its upcoming animated film, “Hoppers,” set to hit cinemas on March 6, 2026. This animated science fiction adventure comedy follows a group of scientists who develop technology allowing human brains to inhabit mechanical bodies. The storyline centers around animal lover Mabel Tanaka, voiced by Piper Curda, who uses this groundbreaking technology to take on the role of a realistic robotic beaver. Her mission is to thwart a construction company’s plan to destroy a local animal habitat.
The film features a talented voice cast, including Bobby Moynihan as King George, the beaver, and Jon Hamm as the avaricious Mayor Jerry. The project is directed and written by Daniel Chong, known for creating the popular series “We Bare Bears.” This collaboration marks another exciting addition to Pixar’s lineup, which has been eagerly anticipated by fans of animated features.
Originally, “Hoppers” was intended to convey a strong environmental message. However, reports indicate that the filmmakers received guidance to moderate this theme during production. This adjustment reflects a broader trend in the industry, where the balance between storytelling and messaging is often carefully navigated.
With its unique premise and engaging characters, “Hoppers” promises to entertain audiences while exploring themes of technology, nature, and community. Fans can look forward to more insights and promotional materials as the release date approaches.
As anticipation builds, Pixar continues to maintain its reputation for innovative storytelling and captivating animation, making “Hoppers” a highly awaited entry in the studio’s illustrious filmography.
