Are you ready for another upcoming Pixar film? funnel has been added to this list.
Pixar is widely considered the king of animation and has been consistently producing popular animated films for years. Inside Out 2 released in early 2024 and next year their latest original, Elio, will also come out. But what would you do if I told you that another film is already in the works? No, I’m not talking about the announced The Incredibles 3 I’m talking about Funnel.
A new original story from Pixar, Funnel, was confirmed at Disney’s 2024 D23 convention in August, but when will this movie be released? And who will star? Here’s what we know so far.
What is the release date of The Hoppers?
From August 2024 funnel has a release date of March 6, 2026, accordingly Deadline. So it will not be on any Release plan 2025but at least we have some time to look forward to this film.
This somehow fits funnel would also appear a little later, considering Elio is coming to theaters next year. Plus, we now know there will be a new Pixar movie in the next two years, which is always a win.
The Hoppers cast
Although not much is known about the funnel Cast, we have confirmed some cast members, as well as some of their character names from DeadlineThis includes:
Piper Curda as Mabel
Piper Curda plays Mabel, the main character of the film. Curda has appeared in several television series, including ANT Farm, I didn’t do it, and the miniseries Youth & Consequences. She also appeared in the horror film The Wretched and the popular teen film Teen beach movie 2.
Bobby Moynihan as King George
Bobby Moynihan will also appear in Hoppers as King George, a royal beaver known as King George. Moynihan is primarily a comedian who has written and performed for Saturday Night Live and has worked as a voice actor for films such as Monsters University (an underrated Pixar film) And The secret life of pets.
Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm will also serve as voice actor for Funnel. Many people know him primarily from his time as a star of the mad Men pour, but he also had appearances in the Bridesmaids pour, Baby Driver, Day, Richard Jewell, Top Gun: Maverick, The City, sucker Punch (an underrated film by Zack Snyder)and many more.
These are the three actors we know so far – and honestly, I’m excited to see what’s in store for them.
What is Hoppers about?
We know funnel is an original idea, what could this film actually be about? Luckily, Pixar has given us a synopsis, and it’s a real blast.
In Funnel, Scientists have discovered a method of transferring human consciousness into “lifelike robot animals” at an unknown time. They call this “hopping.” This way, people can talk to animals.
A girl named Mabel, who loves animals, uses this technology to transfer her mind into that of a beaver and learns things about the animal world that she never imagined.
Yes, that’s the premise, and yes, I’m about as confused as you are, but I can’t say I’m not interested.
Daniel Chong directs
The last thing we know is that Daniel Chong is directing Funnel, as Pixar confirmed. The director directed the film We Bears – The Movie and worked as a story artist on Bolt, Cars, Free Birds, Inside Out, and a few others, so hopefully, funnel is in good hands.
What are you most looking forward to when it comes to Funnel? All I know is that I am curious to see what this film is actually about – and whether it will fit into our Ranking of the best Pixar films that are not part of the franchise.
