Pixar has unveiled a trailer for Jumpershis next original animated film, a few weeks after the flop ofElio.
Pixar may have broken all box office records with Vice-Versa 2 (bigger successes of 2024, from studio to lamp and animated cinema in short), Elio had the effect of a hangover In June 2025. The science fiction feature film directed by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi and Adrian Molina only collected less than 120 million at the world box office, for an estimated budget between $ 150 and 200 million dollars, excluding marketing.
Inevitably, such a cold shower should push Pixar to bet on more suites, Toy Story 5, The indestructibles 3 et Coco 2 Being already in the pipes. A series of Ratatouille would even be under discussion, according to Jeff Sneider and his podcast The Hot Mic (although it is mainly rumors at this stage). The next original Pixar productions will therefore be a major issue for the future of the studio and its creative strategies.
Among the next original films: Gatto Directed by Enrico Casarosa, which will revolve around the meeting of a music -loving black cat and a human, and Jumpers (Hoppers in VO), directed by Daniel Chong And which was revealed in a first trailer.
Pixar and eco -rorism
Jumpers will be Daniel Chong’s first feature film as director. The story, which he co -wrote with Jesse Andrews, will revolve around Mabel, a teenager passionate about animals. So whena new revolutionary technology allowing to communicate with fauna Present herself to her, she obviously jumps on the occasion.
For that, his consciousness is transferred to the body of a particularly adorable beaver-robot. The teenager therefore embarks on a unique adventure for thwart the conspiracy of a construction company aimed at destroying the natural habitat of animals in the region. The humor of the trailer, in particular the offbeat relationship between predators and their prey, recalls at times The wild robot DreamWorks, which is rather encouraging. It would therefore seem that the theme of ecology returns in force at Pixar after the magnificent Wall-E.
On the original vocal casting side, the film can count on Jon Hamm, who will play the city mayor (and therefore probably the antagonist in history), as well as on Piper Curda to embody the protagonist. Jumpers will be released in the cinema on March 4, 2026.
