New ‘Hoppers’ Trailer Incites an Animal Revolution!

Ready to learn some “pond rules”? Then take in the wisdom of beaver leader King George in the new official trailer for Hoppers! From Disney and Pixar, the new original animated comedy also dropped a new poster today, and is due to open exclusively in theaters on March 6, 2026.

The preview introduces a swarm of characters, voiced by an ensemble cast featuring Meryl Streep (voice of the Insect Queen), Dave Franco (Titus), Kathy Najimy (Dr. Sam), Eduardo Franco (Loaf), Melissa Villaseñor (Ellen), Ego Nwodim (Fish Queen), Vanessa Bayer (Diane), Sam Richardson (Conner), Aparna Nancherla (Nisha), Nichole Sakura (Reptile Queens), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Bird King), Steve Purcell (Amphibian King), Karen Huie (Grandma Tanaka) and Tom Law (Tom Lizard), along with previously announced voice stars Piper Curda (Mabel), Bobby Moynihan (King George) and Jon Hamm (Mayor Jerry).

“We have assembled a legendary cast for Hoppers, and the voice talent really gave the film all they had. Be it uproarious humor, heartfelt emotion or crazy animal noises, they delivered beyond our expectations,” said director Daniel Chong and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle.

Hoppers centers on Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals. Using the technology, Mabel uncovers mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined.

Bobby Moynihan is King George, an undeniably optimistic, kind and larger-than-life beaver who is the leader of the pond and king of the mammals. Jon Hamm voices Mayor Jerry, a politician running for reelection in Beaverton. Under his shiny, perfectly coiffed hair and matching public persona, Jerry is losing his cool over the one thing he can’t control: Mabel.

Hoppers is directed by Daniel Chong (We Bare Bears), produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle (Incredibles 2) and features an original score by composer Mark Mothersbaugh (Thor: Ragnarok).
