Hoppers (2026)

In Hoppers, Mabel, a girl passionate about animals, employs an innovative technology to transfer human consciousness into robotic beavers, opening doors to an animal world full of enigmas. This light sci-fi premise invites reflection on human curiosity and respect for creation, without falling into excesses. The story highlights the wonder before the unknown, promoting values such as empathy and responsible discovery. There is no violence, romantic innuendo, or inappropriate language; everything is maintained in an innocent tone suitable for the whole family. Narratively, it explores the desire for connection with nature, reminding us that true understanding arises from the given order, not from attempts to dominate it. Although the idea of transferring consciousness raises questions about human identity, the work treats them with fantastic levity, focusing on the everyday heroism of Mabel: her courage to explore and her sensitivity towards living beings. This fosters in children an appreciation for tangible reality, far from transhuman illusions. For parents, it is an opportunity to converse about how technology serves, but does not replace, the wonder of creation. A refreshing proposal that nurtures the imagination without confusing the essence of the human and the animal.
