Directed by Daniel Chong and produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle, Jumpers is an animated action comedy from Pixar Studios. Written by Jesse Andrews and Daniel Chong, the film stars Mabel, a teenager who tests a technology that allows her to embody a robotic animal. In theaters in France on March 4, 2026.
Mabel discovers a scientific device capable of transferring human consciousness into mechanical animals. Transformed into a robotic beaver, she explores a reinvented wilderness and faces unpredictable situations related to her new body. Between adventure and humor, the experience leads her to question the use of technology and its relationship to nature.
The project is in line with Pixar's animated films based on imaginary concepts accessible to all ages. Daniel Chong, already active in television animation, collaborates here with the studio's technical teams to develop a universe populated by mechanical animals and landscapes inspired by real natural environments.
The production relies on visual technology that combines action comedy and dynamic sets, allowing viewers to follow a robotic body with rapid and unpredictable movements. The attention to mechanical and behavioral details serves the theme ofidentity and adaptation. The tone alternates between adventure sequences, science fiction elements, and a family-friendly approach.
Designed as a coming-of-age story, the film is aimed at viewers who enjoy immersive worlds, with a fast pace and accessible humor. Young audiences will find a classic learning journey, while adults will identify with issues related to innovation and the relationship between technological progress and the environment.
