Hollywood First Look sat down with Hoppers Production Designer Bryn Imagire and Visual Effects Supervisor Beth Albright to chat about the latest Pixar film.
In this exclusive interviews, they share:
- Their own pond rules.
- The challenges of making “dirt look good”
- Effects render times
- Keeping scenes alive but not distracting from the story
- Stylizing trees
- Overcoming obstacles and leadership
In Disney and Pixar’s “Hoppers,” animal lover Mabel (voice of Piper Curda) seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals. As she uncovers mysteries in the animal world beyond anything she could have imagined, Mabel befriends charismatic beaver King George (voice of Bobby Moynihan) and must rally the entire animal kingdom to face a major, imminent human-threat: smooth-talking local mayor Jerry Generazzo (voice of Jon Hamm). The all-star voice ensemble also features Meryl Streep, Dave Franco and Kathy Najimy. “Hoppers” is directed by Daniel Chong (“We Bare Bears”) and produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle (“Incredibles 2”), with an original score by Mark Mothersbaugh.
