Pixar revealed their exciting new project called “Hoppers” at the D23 Expo, featuring big stars like Jon Hamm, Bobby Moynihan, and Piper Curda. The movie tells the story of Mabel, a young girl who can swap her mind into a robot beaver to go undercover in the animal kingdom. She befriends King George, a regal beaver, and joins forces with other animals to battle a real estate developer. “Hoppers” is set to hit theaters in spring 2026.
Jon Hamm, known for his work on “Mad Men” and “Fargo,” will voice a greedy mayor in the film. Piper Curda, the voice of Mabel, is a former Disney Channel star who has appeared in various TV shows. Bobby Moynihan, an animation expert and “SNL” alum, recently voiced Forgetter Bobby in Pixar’s “Inside Out 2.”
After the success of “Inside Out 2,” Pixar is gearing up for another big hit with “Hoppers.” The sequel to the original film, which was released nine years ago, follows Riley as a teenager dealing with the challenges of puberty. The movie grossed a whopping $1.5 billion globally, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time and revitalizing Pixar’s box office performance.
In addition to “Hoppers,” Pixar has another exciting project in the works called “Elio,” a space adventure featuring stars like America Ferrera and Jameela Jamil.
