Disney and Pixar’s ‘Hoppers’ – in theaters, March 6!
The wild is calling! Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers hits theaters this Friday, March 6, and Disney Experiences is getting ready to celebrate the fun and heart of this all-new adventure. From exciting interactive experiences to new merch, the spirit of Hoppers is coming to life in exciting ways. Now, let’s hop into the fun!
Disneyland Resort
Mabel’s Seek & Find at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail
Hit the trail and step into the shoes (or paws) of one of four animals with Mabel’s Seek & Find activity. Found inside the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail inside Disney California Adventure park (park ticket and reservation required), guests can kick off the celebration of Pixar’s latest film by receiving a physical, keepsake map packed with exciting challenges guests of all ages can complete along the trail.
Each task brings guests a step closer to finishing their adventure. Once they’ve explored each of the challenges and navigated a variety of twists and turns in the area, they’ll earn one Hoppers-themed sticker as a complimentary prize to celebrate. With King George, Ellen Bear, Insect Queen, or yes, even the iconic and already-beloved Tom Lizard featured on the stickers, they’ll be ready to wear it loud and proud across Grizzly Peak after their journey.
Guests can prepare for their next pursuit with activities along the Redwood Creek trail, available throughout the year:
- Cliff Hanger Traverse Rock Climb
- Hoot n’ Holler Log Slides
- Sequoia Smokejumpers Training Tower
- The Spirit Cave
Draw Characters from Hoppers at Animation Academy
Step into the animator’s chair and dive into the art of sketch with a new drawing experience inspired by Hoppers at Animation Academy in Disney California Adventure.
For a limited time, artists of all ages can learn step-by-step how to draw characters from the film including Mabel, Tom Lizard, or King George, guided by a talented animator. Whether guests are a first-time sketch artist or a seasoned doodler, this interactive experience lets guests see how these lively characters take shape. Best of all, they’ll leave with their very own one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Classes occur every 30 minutes throughout the day inside the Disney Animation Building in Hollywood Land, and there are no reservations required for this creative experience. On the day of their visit, guests can check the schedule outside of Animation Academy to see when they can draw a character from Hoppers.

“Hop into the Animal Kingdom” with the Disney Conservation Fund and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots
Since 1995, the Disney Conservation Fund has directed more than $140 million to community-based efforts that have helped protect more than 1,000 species of wildlife across every continent and every ocean, and connected millions of kids with nature. And for the past 35 years, Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, the youth action program of the Jane Goodall Institute, has empowered young people to be the change in their communities.
Building on this legacy, in celebration of Disney Pixar’s all-new film Hoppers and the 30th anniversary of the Disney Conservation Fund, Disney and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots USA are teaming up to connect kids with nature and inspire 100K young people around the country to “hop in” to make a difference in their communities. In the all-new film, Hoppers, Mabel gets to “hop in” and experience the animal kingdom like never before. Now, Disney and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots USA are recognizing young people doing just that.
