Disney and Pixar have dropped a fresh trailer for Hoppers, offering new clues about the story, the tech at its center, and the characters driving the adventure. The film opens March 6, 2026, and the new preview builds excitement with tighter pacing, clearer stakes, and sharper comedic moments.
A Closer Look at the Story
The trailer shows Mabel, an animal‑obsessed kid who finds breakthrough technology that lets her “hop” her consciousness into a lifelike robotic beaver. This clever setup gives her a way to talk to animals directly. As she explores this new world, she uncovers bigger mysteries that push her into unexpected territory. Pixar uses this concept to mix quick humor with emotional storytelling.
The All‑Star Voice Cast
The cast behind Hoppers is massive and full of personality. Instead of a simple list, the latest trailer shows how each actor shapes the film’s tone. Meryl Streep rules the insect kingdom with a calm, commanding presence as the Insect Queen. Dave Franco, Kathy Najimy, Eduardo Franco, Melissa Villaseñor, Ego Nwodim, Vanessa Bayer, Sam Richardson, Aparna Nancherla, Nichole Sakura, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Steve Purcell, Karen Huie, and Tom Law bring life to the interconnected insect, reptile, bird, fish, and amphibian realms.
Returning cast members include Piper Curda as Mabel, Bobby Moynihan as King George, and Jon Hamm as Mayor Jerry. According to director Daniel Chong and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle, every performer pushed the characters further with sharp timing, strong emotional beats, and tons of creative energy.
Characters to Watch
- King George (Bobby Moynihan): A big‑hearted beaver who leads the mammals with optimism.
- Mayor Jerry (Jon Hamm): A polished politician losing control as Mabel’s discoveries shake up Beaverton.
These two anchor the film’s tension while adding humor that keeps the story moving.
