Review: “Hoppers” is a furry, family‑friendly romp for the fur lover lurking in all of us. Grab your stuffies, grab your snacks, grab your kids and hop yourself into “Hoppers!” It’s visually striking, surprisingly grounded, sneaks in heartfelt moments—and still finds room for big set pieces and laughs.
*Disney and Pixar’s all-new animated comedy adventure “Hoppers,” follows animal lover Mabel (voice of Piper Curda) as she seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals. Mabel befriends charismatic beaver, King George (voice of Bobby Moynihan), and must rally the entire animal kingdom to face a major, imminent human-threat: smooth-talking local mayor Jerry Generazzo (voice of Jon Hamm).
Curda and Moynihan talked with us about their species personas and which scene was calamity behind the scenes.
