4 Things Families Should Know about ‘Hoppers’

Mabel is an energetic college student with a deep love of nature. But perhaps she loves it a little too much.As a young girl, she tried rescuing the turtle from her school’s classrooms. And the caged birds. And the snake. Sure, she was caught, but that didn’t quell her passion. At one point, she even bit someone’s arm in her quest to free them.She developed that love for nature from her grandmother – a spirited woman who, like Mabel, once pushed boundaries and refused to sit quietly when faced with opposition.The two of them often ended their days beside a nearby pond, talking about life as they slowed down and enjoyed everything around them – the rustling trees, the curious deer, the gentle breeze drifting across the water. It was a quiet glade in the forest where they bonded and built lasting memories.Unfortunately, that same glade is now the target of a local highway project – one championed by the town’s popular, big-smiling and self-absorbed mayor, who insists it’s necessary for progress and faster commutes.Mabel, though, isn’t willing to let the land disappear without a fight.“To some people, it’s an empty piece of land,” she tells the mayor. “But for those animals, it’s home.”But the mayor has a ready reply – and one the public seems to believe: The animals left long ago. To his defense, there are no animals left on Mabel’s beloved patch of land.But … where did they go?Mabel sets out to find the answer – turning to a cutting-edge piece of technology to uncover the truth.It’s all part of the new children’s animated Hoppers (PG).Here are four things parents should know:Photo Credit: ©Pixar
