Professor Ken Sloan – Vice Chancellor – Harper Adams University

Get ready for a fun-filled evening in the open air as Telford Film Festival brings the magic of outdoor cinema to Harper Adams University with a special screening of Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers.

Gather your family and friends, bring a blanket or camping chair, and settle in for an unforgettable night of entertainment in the beautiful surroundings of the Harper Adams campus. Combining the charm of an outdoor movie experience with one of the most anticipated family films of the year, this is the perfect way to enjoy a summer evening.

In Disney and Pixar’s Animated Comedy Adventure Hoppers, animal lover Mabel (voice of Piper Curda) seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to “hop” her consciousness into a lifelike robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals.

As she uncovers mysteries in the animal kingdom beyond anything she could have imagined, Mabel befriends charismatic beaver, King George (voice of Bobby Moynihan), and must rally the entire animal kingdom to face a major, imminent, human threat: smooth-talking local mayor Jerry Generazzo (voice of Jon Hamm).
