Hoppers (also known as Jumpers in some countries) is a 2026 American animated science fiction comedy film directed by Daniel Chong from a screenplay by Jesse Andrews and a story by Chong and Andrews. Produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures, the film stars the voices of Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, and Dave Franco. It follows Mabel Tanaka (Curda), an animal-loving college student who transfers her consciousness into a robotic beaver to communicate with animals and save their habitat from destruction, inadvertently sparking an uprising among them.
Chong began developing Hoppers after returning to Pixar in December 2020, and the project was officially announced in August 2024. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score, while SZA wrote and performed the end credits song "Save the Day".
Hoppers premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on February 23, 2026, and was released theatrically in the United States on March 6. The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $389.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $150 million, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2026.
