Pixar’s Hoppers Opens in Germany on March 5 With Warm Early Reviews

German critics praise its humor, family appeal, environmental message.

Overview

  • Disney-Pixar’s new original animated feature debuts in German cinemas on 5 March with an FSK 6 rating and a runtime of about 105 minutes.
  • The film follows Mabel, a student who uses a university mind‑transfer invention to inhabit a lifelike beaver robot in a bid to protect a threatened habitat.
  • Early reviews from German publications highlight a witty, cross‑generational crowd‑pleaser that treats conservation and animal protection as central themes.
  • Director Daniel Chong leads his first Pixar feature, a project developed for roughly six years after he initially pitched the beaver‑‘Avatar’ premise almost as a joke.
  • The voice cast features Piper Curda as Mabel, Bobby Moynihan as King George and Jon Hamm as Mayor Jerry, with Meryl Streep voicing the Insect Queen in the original version.
