Can we please get some decent formatting around here? The text is all over the place... I'm trying to read about Meryl Streep's new animated movie, but it's hard to focus with all these random line breaks and weird spacing.
but also kinda concerning what's the message here? are we really just gonna celebrate a human transferring their consciousness into an animal robot as some kinda hero? that feels like we're perpetuating these sci-fi tropes without thinking about the real world implications 
and what's with the "fellow animals" speech? sounds like someone's got some serious Stockholm syndrome vibes going on 
still, Meryl Streep is in it so I guess i'll check it out
... how does she switch between human and robotic forms? And what kind of tech are we talking about here that allows her to talk to animals like they're having a coffee chat 
️? And I hope Dave Franco doesn't get typecast as the " funny guy" 
... is this movie all jokes and no action? 
It's always great to see talented actors voicing animated characters. Mark Mothersbaugh on the original score tho... I'm already imagining it in my head 
. The only thing that would make Hoppers better is if they threw in some environmental commentary 
. Fingers crossed Disney delivers! 
she's like the queen of acting and now she's voicing an insect queen lol that sounds hella fun 
can't wait to see what other crazy characters they come up with in this film! 
also, robotic beaver? why not, right? 
. I love how Mabel uses tech to communicate with animals and fight for their rights 
! Jon Hamm and Kathy Najimy are part of the cast too? That's awesome! 
I'm curious to see how it all comes together on screen. March 6, 2026 can't come soon enough 
... this is going to be a wild ride! 
The animation looks super vibrant and fun. I'm already imagining all the hilarious animal banter. Can't wait to see it in theaters next March 6th... got my popcorn ready 
! The concept of a human transferring into a robotic beaver is wild 
, like who would've thought? 
Mabel's journey as she transfers her consciousness into a robotic beaver raises so many questions about empathy, compassion, and what it means to be human 
It's like, can we learn from animals? Can they teach us how to live in harmony with the world around us? I think that's a really powerful message, especially for our generation who's grown up with the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation
