The new trailer offers a deeper glimpse into the film’s comedic adventure, following Mabel, an animal-loving teen who uses groundbreaking technology to hop her consciousness into a hyper-realistic robotic beaver. With her new ability to speak directly to animals, she uncovers surprising secrets hidden within their world.

Bobby Moynihan voices King George, the warmhearted and upbeat beaver who leads the pond and rules the mammals. Jon Hamm plays Mayor Jerry, Beaverton’s polished politician whose biggest challenge is the one thing he can’t seem to control: Mabel.
