Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Daniel Chong created We Bare Bears, and Hoppers marks his feature directorial debut — the bear-to-beaver pipeline is real.
The film's Oregon setting isn't random; it's a deliberate nod to the region's actual beaver-related infrastructure conflicts and environmental activism.
