Hoppers is a 2026 American animated comedy film from Pixar Animation Studios, directed by Daniel Chong, in which a young animal lover hops her consciousness into a lifelike robotic beaver. The film delivers sharp humor and warm heart across 105 minutes of family-friendly adventure that resonates with audiences of all ages.
What is Hoppers about?
When scientists work out how to 'hop' human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, animal lover Mabel seizes the chance to experience the wild from the inside. Inhabiting a robotic beaver, she must cope with a world built to a beaver's scale — dams, rivers, and a social order that runs on tooth-and-claw rules — while keeping her true identity hidden from the creatures around her and from the humans whose plans threaten their habitat. As she stumbles deeper into animal society, the comedy escalates, genuine bonds form, and she uncovers mysteries within the animal world beyond anything she imagined. The story never loses sight of its emotional core: underneath the slapstick chaos, Mabel is forced to see the world through genuinely different eyes, ultimately discovering that what seems foreign often reflects something universally true about belonging and identity.
About the cast
Director Daniel Chong, known for his work in animation, brings a confident comic sensibility to Hoppers. The voice ensemble is led by Piper Curda as Mabel, with Bobby Moynihan as King George, ruler of the mammals, while Jon Hamm and Kathy Najimy round out the main cast as Jerry Generazzo and Dr. Sam Fairfax. Dave Franco, Eduardo Franco, Aparna Nancherla, and Tom Law contribute additional voice performances, giving the film a vibrant and lively ensemble texture.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers and the Iranian diaspora, Hoppers offers a refreshing animated escape that the whole family can enjoy together. Comedies that drop a human into an animal's world carry a long tradition of using outlandish premises to tell stories about empathy, and this film leans into that tradition with warmth and accessible humor. Because it is available with Persian dubbing on K-Time, families can watch in their preferred language — an experience that makes animated films especially enjoyable for children and parents watching alongside them. The premise of two very different characters learning to walk in each other's shoes speaks to diaspora experiences of navigating between cultures.
