'Hoppers' X Naver Webtoon 'Introverted Couples'·'Youth Love Some'… A Girl Turned Beaver and the Exciting Encounter with Webtoons

Disney·Pixar's new imaginative animal adventure 〈Hoppers〉 has teamed up with popular domestic Naver Webtoon works to present a special New Year collaboration. This collaboration, featuring writer Na from 'Introverted Couples' and writers Hong Deok and NEMONE from 'Youth Love Some', captures the unique setting of the film's 'hopping' within the webtoon universe, captivating the attention of prospective viewers.

Webtoon protagonists directly experience 'hopping'… Unique episodes revealed

The core of this collaboration lies in short episodes where webtoon protagonists directly experience the film's 'hopping' (a technology that projects a person's consciousness into an animal robot).

The protagonist of 'Introverted Couples', Nam Yoo, hops into a beaver to confess his feelings to his crush, while Purum from 'Youth Love Some' shows a desire to understand the inner thoughts of his pet hamster using the technology from 〈Hoppers〉. The film's inventive material is engaging webtoon fans and stimulating curiosity about the work.

The New Year poster released alongside maximizes the cuteness of the characters in the film. Writer Na illustrated a delightful moment where the protagonist Mabel and bear Alan wear traditional New Year ornaments and take a photo, while Hong Deok and NEMONE captured Mabel greeting the New Year with a gourd-wearing mascot lizard Tom in front of a folding screen using smartphone emojis. Fans are responding enthusiastically on social media, saying, "Mabel is so cute," and "I can feel the Pixar humor!"

From Meryl Streep to Jon Hamm… A trusted production team and cast

The film 〈Hoppers〉 depicts the unexpected adventures of a girl named Mabel who becomes a beaver robot and infiltrates the animal world. Daniel Chong, the creator of 〈We Bare Bears〉, directs, promising Pixar's unique humor and emotion.

The voice cast is also impressive. Led by newcomer Piper Curda, Jon Hamm from 〈Top Gun: Maverick〉, and the living legend Meryl Streep join to add weight to the project. With a solid story, a star-studded cast, and a unique collaboration with domestic webtoons, 〈Hoppers〉 is set to hit theaters on March 4.
