And my rabbit, is it chicken? The answer is yes (and vice versa). Hopper and the Dark Hamster by Ben Stassen and Benjamin Mousquet introduces a feathered and long-eared hero who is an astonishing mixture of these two creatures! Life is not easy for Hopper Chickenson, voiced by Thomas Solivérès who must find his place while he dreams of becoming an adventurer.

I immediately said to myself that this cocktail between these two animals was a brilliant idea and that it could only give a frappadingue result! » An animation and sets of excellent quality contribute to the pleasure of a spectator who does not have time to breathe as the adventures are numerous.
Hopper and the Dark Hamster keeps the promises of its enticing title by offering the public its share of spectacular scenes and good-natured gags. Without being quite at the graphic level of the major American studios, nor of the visual originality of certain French creators, this very amusing dynamic adventure film is a successful family entertainment.
