SYNOPSIS
Jumpers – A Leap into the Animal World, directed by Daniel Chong, tells the story of Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda), a nature-loving teenager with a deep passion for animals who seizes the opportunity to test a groundbreaking technology developed by a team of scientists.
The system allows human consciousness to be transferred into realistic robotic animals, enabling people to communicate with the animal world by literally experiencing life from an animal’s perspective. Through this revolutionary invention, Mabel transfers her mind into a robotic beaver and discovers a hidden universe far beyond human imagination, uncovering the mysteries, rules, and extraordinary intelligence of these creatures.
But the experience is more than just an incredible adventure. When a greedy mayor and a ruthless construction company threaten to destroy the local natural habitat to make way for a new urban development, Mabel decides to use the technology to fight back and protect the environment.
Blending action, humor, and wonder, Jumpers – A Leap into the Animal World is an adventurous and heartfelt story that celebrates respect for nature and encourages audiences to see the world from a different perspective, reminding us how fragile and precious the balance between humanity and the natural world truly is.
