How Hoppers Was Created! Pixar Filmmakers Reveal the Story Behind the Film

Director Daniel Chong and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle sit down to discuss the creation of Hoppers and the surprising journey that led to the animated adventure becoming Pixar’s next big film. They talk about how the idea was chosen during development at Pixar, the six-year process of building the movie, and the creative collaboration required to bring a story like this to life. Daniel also reveals the very different early concept for the film — including the hilarious original idea nicknamed “Penguin Avatar”. The pair also discuss the deeper themes within Hoppers, from humanity’s relationship with nature to the idea that humans and animals are more connected than we might think.
