The animated film 'Hoppers' is a brilliant mix of crazy adventures and an ecological manifesto. This new release from Disney-Pixar is recommended for viewing by both children and adults.
At the center of the masterpiece is young nature defender Mabel Tanaka. She receives a unique opportunity to test the latest development by scientists: a technology that allows for 'transferring' (or 'embedding') human consciousness into a realistic mechanical body of an animal. She believes that a robot beaver would be suitable for this purpose. The girl wants to become one among the animals in such a body to learn the true secrets of nature that humans cannot notice, and, of course, she aims to convince real beavers and other forest inhabitants to flee from the dangerous territory.
The most interesting part begins when tensions escalate between the local authorities and developers. The mayor plans to level the forest and build a facility that will bring enormous profits. Mabel, in the body of a beaver, tries by all means to thwart these sinister plans. It is from this moment that the fun adventures begin.
The film is directed by Daniel Chong ('We Bare Bears'), so you can be sure that the movie is filled with absurd situations and comedic moments. Despite some childlike notes, the new release raises important themes: the balance between progress and nature, the ability to listen to others, and the importance of 'going outside and touching the grass.'
The film has already been released in theaters.
