According to Pixar, the film will tell the story of a group of scientists who have “discovered how to “hop” human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals! The adventure introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use the technology, uncovering mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined.”

The film will be directed by Daniel Chong, produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle, and feature the voices of Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, and Jon Hamm.
