Hoppers is a blend of comedy and social commentary for all ages

Pixar's latest is another original tale: Hoppers. In the sci-fi comedy, 19-year-old Mabel Tanaka (voiced by Piper Curda) is on a mission to save a patch of land from development as Mayor Jerry Generazzo (Jon Hamm) enacts his plan to build a freeway overpass that will better link the town of Beaverton.

The glade is a special, soul-soothing spot Mabel shared with her nature-loving grandmother. The only thing that will stop the construction is if wildlife is found on site, and Mabel stumbles on a potential solution courtesy of her university professor, Dr Sam (Kathy Najimy): she can transplant her consciousness into a robotic beaver body, infiltrate the area's reclusive animal community and lure them back.

In Hoppers you'll find humour for kids and adults alike, although it is perhaps most notable for its Gen Z-orientated messaging and slyly progressive themes.
