Hoppers

🥺 Interesting Fact: Hoppers (2026) — The animated film marks the feature directorial debut of Daniel Chong at the animation studio. Chong previously gained extensive experience in the animation industry by creating the widely broadcast television series We Bare Bears. He brought his background in animal-based storytelling to this new project, which focuses on a human character who transfers her consciousness into a robotic beaver. To prepare for the production process, the animation team conducted detailed observational studies of real woodland creatures in their natural habitats. The artists needed to understand the anatomical movements of these animals to blend them with the science fiction elements of the script. The voice cast features actor Jon Hamm, who portrays the antagonist role of a local political figure determined to develop the animals’ home.
