The main character is Mabel Tanaka, a girl with an exceptionally strong feeling for animals and nature conservation. As a child, she tried to save school animals, even though it drove adults, especially her teachers, crazy. However, her true bond with nature fully develops in a place she calls Hájek, located on the outskirts of the city, where she spent time with her grandmother as a child.
Disney and Pixar’s new animated action comedy “HOOPERS” follows animal lover Mabel as she takes a chance – or rather, jumps – to try out a new technology that allows her to communicate with animals in an exciting new way. “In ‘HOOPERS,’ we’re answering the question, ‘What if we could understand and communicate with the animal world?’” says Chong. “Our main character, Mabel, gets to explore the animal kingdom as an animal, which can be strange and often fun. Mabel goes undercover in the animal world, which is a rollercoaster ride for her… The story has everything you’d expect from a classic Pixar film.
