Pixar has released the second trailer for its upcoming animated film “Hoppers,” scheduled to hit cinemas on March 6, 2026. This science fiction adventure comedy follows a group of scientists who develop technology allowing human brains to inhabit mechanical bodies. The narrative centers around Mabel Tanaka, an animal lover who uses this groundbreaking technology to embody a lifelike robotic beaver, aiming to stop a construction company from destroying the local animal habitat.
The voice cast features Piper Curda in the role of Mabel, alongside Bobby Moynihan as King George, a beaver character, and Jon Hamm as the ambitious Mayor Jerry. The film is directed and written by Daniel Chong, the creator of the popular animated series “We Bare Bears.”
As “Hoppers” has developed, the filmmakers faced challenges regarding its thematic elements. Initially centered on environmentalism, they were reportedly advised to downplay this message in the final product. Despite this, the film aims to engage audiences with its unique blend of humor and adventure.
The anticipation surrounding “Hoppers” is palpable, as audiences eagerly await Pixar’s latest storytelling innovation. The studio has a strong track record of blending meaningful narratives with entertaining plots, and expectations are high for this new feature.
The release of the trailer has sparked excitement among fans and industry watchers alike, marking a significant milestone in the film’s promotional campaign. With its vibrant animation and compelling characters, “Hoppers” is set to make a notable impact when it premieres in early 2026.
