AceShowbiz - The animated film Hoppers, featuring the voice of Meryl Streep, has become the most popular title on Disney+ across all categories since its premiere on June 3, 2026. The movie quickly secured the number one spot in over 50 countries and currently leads both the Top 10 Movies and Top 10 Overall lists on the streaming platform.

Directed by Daniel Chong, who also co-wrote the story and screenplay with Jesse Andrews, Hoppers follows Mabel, a determined college student who transfers her consciousness into a robotic beaver in an effort to protect a local wildlife habitat threatened by urban development. This unintended action sparks a conflict between the wildlife and the city mayor. The story was inspired by nature documentaries featuring robots interacting with animals, an idea Chong found ripe for comedy. The voice cast includes Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, Dave Franco, Eduardo Franco, alongside Streep.

Produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle, known for her work on several Pixar hits including Toy Story 3 and Incredibles 2, the film was released theatrically by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on March 6, 2026. Made on a budget of roughly $150 million, Hoppers has grossed $372 million worldwide at the box office and continues to perform strongly on Disney+.

Meryl Streep is widely recognized for her extensive acting career, with 85 credits to her name including acclaimed roles in The Deer Hunter, Julia, and Manhattan. She has earned multiple award nominations for performances in both films and television, maintaining her status as one of Hollywood’s most respected actresses.

The success of Hoppers highlights the continued appeal of combining star power like Streep’s with innovative storytelling and animation. Its dominance on Disney+ reinforces the growing importance of streaming platforms as venues for reaching global audiences after theatrical runs, especially for family-oriented animated features.
