"When I first met Daniel, he called it a cross between 'Mission: Impossible,' 'Planet Earth' and 'Avatar.' And I said, 'That doesn't make any sense. Tell me more. And I'm in.' The director's unique pitch combined action-adventure elements with nature documentary and sci-fi themes to create an innovative animated concept."
"There's a beautiful message in this movie but I don't think it hits you over the head with it. It's absolutely beautiful to watch but if you watch it for the storyline itself and just for the heart, it's equally as useful. It's wonderful across the board."
"When we learned all about beavers and that they create these ponds that can sustain biodiversity, you're like, 'My goodness! They're amazing!' Beavers are basically engineers, finding what they do incredible and essential to environmental ecosystems."
Disney-Pixar's animated film 'Hoppers' centers on beavers as environmental superheroes. The filmmakers collaborated with scientists to authentically portray these animals while crafting a story emphasizing community importance. The plot involves transferring human consciousness into robotic animals to enable communication with real animals. College student Mabel transfers her consciousness into a robotic beaver to protect animals from human threats. Voice actor Piper Curda describes her character as tiny, powerful, and spirited. Bobby Moynihan voices King George, the pond leader. The filmmakers highlight beavers' remarkable engineering abilities and their role in creating ponds that sustain biodiversity. The film balances environmental messaging with engaging storytelling and visual appeal.
