The Hoppers Teaser Trailer, unveiled by Pixar, is a riot of laughs and heart, promising a fresh spin on Pixar’s signature storytelling. Directed by Daniel Chong, this sci-fi comedy follows Mabel Tanaka, voiced by Piper Curda, who jumps into a robotic beaver’s body to chat with woodland critters.
The 60-second clip, already a hit after its Elio post-credits debut, has fans on X buzzing about its quirky humor and “wild roller coaster” vibe. With a shady mayor and a beaver buddy named King George, Hoppers is shaping up to be a must-see.
What Makes Mabel’s Beaver Adventure So Funny?
The teaser kicks off with Mabel stepping into a sci-fi gizmo that swaps her mind into a robotic beaver. “This is like Avatar,” she quips, only for a scientist to snap, “It’s not like Avatar.”
The nod to James Cameron’s epic had audiences at Annecy Animation Festival crying with laughter, per The Wrap. Mabel’s first moments as a beaver are pure chaos – she stumbles into a bear’s lunch, sparking a hilarious standoff.
The trailer’s slapstick energy, paired with a Vine-inspired animal shoutout, screams Pixar’s knack for blending wit with heart.
Who’s Bringing the Animal Kingdom to Life?
Piper Curda shines as Mabel, a nature student with a knack for trouble. Her Disney Channel roots (I Didn’t Do It) and May December role make her a perfect fit for this plucky hero.
Bobby Moynihan’s King George, the pond’s beaver leader, brings SNL-style charm, while Jon Hamm’s Mayor Jerry, a greedy human villain, adds menace with his Mad Men gravitas.
X posts are hyping Hamm as “the anti-beaver mayor we love to hate,” with fans joking he’s “plotting to bulldoze the pond.” The cast’s chemistry, teased at D23 2024, promises big laughs and bigger stakes.
Why Is the Plot So Wild?
Hoppers dives into a world where scientists “hop” human minds into robotic animals to talk to wildlife. Mabel, an animal lover, uses this tech to infiltrate a beaver colony and thwart Mayor Jerry’s plan to destroy their habitat.
The teaser hints at spy-thriller vibes, with Mabel dodging animal chaos and uncovering “mysteries beyond imagination,” per Pixar’s site. A former Pixar staffer noted on X that early environmental themes were toned down, but director Chong insists the film keeps Pixar’s emotional core. Expect a mix of Zootopia’s animal world and Inside Out’s heartfelt depth.
How Does the Trailer Nail Pixar’s Magic?
The teaser’s visuals pop with Pixar’s lush animation, from misty forests to Mabel’s expressive beaver eyes – a nod to a For the Birds Easter egg, per Chong’s Pixar Post interview. The 1.85:1 aspect ratio, used in Luca and Elemental, gives it a cinematic sweep.
Fans on X are raving about the “crazy funny” bear scene and a lizard spamming emojis, a callback to Elio’s post-credits tease.
Chong told Variety the comedy aims high, blending spy antics with Pixar’s tear-jerking heart. This is no sequel – it’s a bold original for Pixar’s 40th anniversary year.
Why Should You Be Hyped for Hoppers?
Hoppers is Pixar at its most playful and inventive. The teaser trailer proves Mabel’s beaver adventure will deliver laughs, heart, and a fresh take on talking to animals.
With a stellar cast, Daniel Chong’s We Bare Bears wit, and a March 6, 2026, release, this is one to mark on your calendar. Will Mabel save the beavers?
