Hoppers (1 screening) Hall 1

Directed by Daniel Chong, the film tells the story of Mabel (original voice Piper Curda), a teenage girl passionate about animals and nature, who jumps at the chance to try out a revolutionary technology developed by a team of scientists.
The system allows human consciousness to be transferred into realistic robotic animals, letting people communicate with the animal world by literally living as them. Using this innovation, Mabel transfers her mind into a robotic beaver and discovers a secret universe that goes far beyond human imagination, revealing the hidden intelligence, rules, and mysteries of these creatures’ lives.
But her adventure is more than just extraordinary fun. When a greedy mayor and a ruthless construction company threaten to destroy the local natural habitat to build a new urban complex, Mabel decides to use the technology to stop them.
Filled with action, humor, and wonder, the story follows an exciting adventure that celebrates respect for nature and encourages us to see the world through different eyes, reminding us how fragile and precious the balance between humans and the environment truly is.
