Two display cases can be found at the end of the Walt Disney Presents exhibit, giving guests a unique inside look at the making of the Hoppers film. Here’s a closer look!
In Disney and Pixar’s wild animated adventure “Hoppers”, animal lover Mabel Tanaka (Piper Curda) seizes her chance to use a revolutionary technology and ‘hop’ her consciousness into the body of an adorable robotic beaver. With the incredible new ability to communicate with animals, Mabel journeys from the lab to the great outdoors, where she meets a kingdom of funny new critters – including charismatic beaver King George (Bobby Moynihan) – uncovers shocking secrets and ultimately rallies the entire anımal kingdom against a major, imminent human-threat.

Mabel “hops” her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver. With the help of her furry new animal friends, Mabel quickly learns the ropes of the animal world and is forced to think on her tiny, webbed feet to save the glade against a malevolent force.
King George Character Maquette
As leader of the pond and king of the mammals, King George is a larger-than-life beaver with a jovial personality to match. Although he didn’t set out to be King, he embraces the role with enthusiasm every day and created some rules to help everyone in the pond get along: Pond Rules!
