New Disney ● Pixar Hoppers Garden in Epcot has arrived for the start of the Flower & Garden Festival 2026. Hoppers opens in theaters on March 6th, with previews starting the same day as Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival on March 4th. Wildlife Crossing Garden – NEW! Learn how animals safely roam at this garden inspired by the new Disney and Pixar film Hoppers. Characters from Hoppers, like Mabeln King George, Birds King, Loaf, Ellen Bear, Amphibian King, Lucy Deer, and more. Tom Lizard is waving at guests on the sign that greets guests.
Wildlife Crossing: Disney and Pixar’s all-new animated comedy adventure Hoppers introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals, uncovering mysteries beyond anything she could have imagined.
As urban development spreads, it becomes more and more challenging for animals to pass through their own natural habitats to find food, water, and shelter. But thanks to man-made wildlife crossings and corridors, creatures are able to cross roads and other industrial areas safely, causing less interruption to their instinctual behaviors, allowing their populations to thrive!
We saw the installation, and it looks well-designed and is in a perfect spot right outside CommuniCore Hall on the World Nature Side as you are heading towards The Land. The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival returns from March 4 to June 1, 2026. This event brings fresh flavors, vibrant topiaries, live music, and family fun to every corner of the park.
Check out our 2026 Flower and Garden Topiary Watch! Today, Pixar added Toy Story, Cars, and Hoppers to the park!
Oscar winner Meryl Streep, Dave Franco, Kathy Najimy, Eduardo Franco, Melissa Villaseñor, Ego Nwodim, Vanessa Bayer, Sam Richardson, and Aparna Nancherla, joining the previously announced Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, and Jon Hamm, to bring the hilarious and heartwarming world of “HOPPERS” to life.
“Hoppers” features the voice of Bobby Moynihan as King George, an undeniably optimistic, kind, and larger-than-life beaver who is the leader of the pond and king of the mammals. Jon Hamm voices Mayor Jerry, a politician running for reelection in Beaverton. Under his shiny, perfectly coiffed hair and matching public persona, Jerry is losing his cool over the one thing he can’t control: Mabel.
