The film “Hoppers” has confirmed a Dolby Cinema release following its 4DX version, boosting anticipation among fans.
“Hoppers” is a Pixar animated animal-adventure film built around “hopping” technology that transfers a human mind into an animal robot. The story follows a girl named Mabel, who becomes a robot beaver and infiltrates a vivid animal world, setting off on an unexpected adventure.
With the Dolby Cinema release confirmed, the film also unveiled a Dolby Cinema poster. It shows Mabel connected to a hopping machine at the moment her transformation into a robot beaver is completed. Her bewildered expression suggests she can hardly believe what has happened, before she adapts to the animal world and is set to make an impact there.
Dolby Cinema is expected to offer a different kind of immersion than 4DX, drawing audiences deeper into the adventure Mabel leads. The format’s sharp picture and realistic sound are also expected to bring to life the authenticity — and even the tactile feel — of the natural settings emphasized by director Daniel Chong, pointing to a theater-only cinematic experience.
The film is directed by Chong, the creator of the globally popular series “We Bare Bears,” who also worked as a storyboard artist on “Cars 2” and “Penguins of Madagascar.” Newcomer Piper Curda voices Mabel. The cast also includes Bobby Moynihan, who appeared in “Inside Out 2” and “IF: Imaginary Friends,” and Jon Hamm, known in South Korea for “Top Gun: Maverick” and a Golden Globe win for best actor in a TV drama at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards for “Mad Men.” Three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, who has recently been announced for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” joins the voice cast. The film opens March 4.
