Looks more like a Disney or Dreamworks movie than a Pixar one. This one
will probably be one of Pixar's less popular movies.

What happens in the Hoppers trailer?
The Hoppers trailer introduces audiences to Mabel, a woman
who is able to transport her consciousness into a robotic
beaver. Upon doing so, she then learns about a construction
company's plans to destroy a local animal habitat, which
forces her to take action.

The official synopsis for the movie reads, "In Hoppers,
scientists have discovered how to 'hop' human consciousness
into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to
communicate with animals as animals! Using the new
technology, Mabel (Piper Curda) will uncover mysteries
within the animal world that are beyond anything she could
have imagined."

The voice cast also includes Meryl Streep as Insect Queen,
Dave Franco as Titus, Kathy Najimy as Dr. Sam, Eduardo
Franco as Loaf, Melissa Villase+or as Ellen, Ego Nwodim as
Fish Queen, Vanessa Bayer as Diane, Sam Richardson as
Conner, Aparna Nancherla as Nisha, Nichole Sakura as Reptile
Queens, Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Bird King, Steve Purcell as
Amphibian King, Karen Huie as Grandma Tanaka, Tom Law as Tom
Lizard, Bobby Moynihan as King George, and Jon Hamm as Mayor
Jerry.

Chong previously told Variety that he's fully aware the
premise of the movie is "a little bit crazy." He continued,
"There are going to be things that are a little bit
tongue-in-cheek, and it's going to be out there and
chaotic."

Chong also said of Hamm and Moynihan's casting, "[Hamm] is
hilarious. People know him from Mad Men, but his comedy chops
are incredible. And to be honest, he's very brave when it
comes to comedy. We have him do some pretty crazy stuff in
our movies...Having worked with Bobby already, I felt so lucky
to be able to slip back into that relationship and pick up
where we left off. He's just so naturally funny and charming
and sweet. I would just say across the board, everyone on our
cast is really funny."

Hoppers will be released in United States theaters on March 6,
2026.
