About Hoppers

Scientists unveil a bold new tech that lets a person’s mind slip into a lifelike robotic creature, letting humans speak and act as the animals they inhabit. The formula opens doorways to conversations across species and reshapes how people see the natural world. Mabel, a devoted animal lover, senses an opportunity and volunteers to test the gadget. What follows isn't a simple ride into fur and feathers but a dive into hidden societies and secret motives beneath the surface of everyday life. As she toggles between human and animal perspectives, she encounters puzzles that blur the lines between curiosity and danger. The tone stays witty and bright, keeping the stakes accessible for younger audiences while delivering sharp observations for older viewers.

Directed by Daniel Chong, Hoppers grows from an original concept by James S Baker, Wesley Fuh and Max Sachar and brings a lively voice cast to the project. The animation blends bright color, brisk humor, and inventive creature design.

Box office data has not been disclosed yet, as the film's performance awaits confirmation. There are no published worldwide gross figures available at this moment.

At its core the story weighs curiosity against responsibility, asking how far a person should go when they can literally inhabit another being. The movie blends humor with bright sci fi ideas and a sense of wonder about the animal world.
