"The animal council has been summoned," Streep says as the insect queen in the trailer. "The shrill beaver is right. Their treachery ends here now! Let's squish the humans." Chong (We Bare Bears) helmed the movie from his own script. The project was first announced at the D23 fan event in 2024. "We have assembled a legendary cast for Hoppers, and the voice talent really gave the film all they had. Be it uproarious humor, heartfelt emotion or crazy animal noises, they delivered beyond our expectations," said Chong and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle in a new joint statement.

Pixar's most recent release was last summer's Elio, which disappointed at the box office despite a positive critical response. Before that, Inside Out 2 was a smash hit and marked the highest-grossing title of 2024. THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day Subscribe Sign Up Noah Jupe Oh Brother!
