While the tech world is looking back at heritage hardware, Pixar is looking toward a robotic future. To mark the upcoming March 6 release of Hoppers, Disney and Pixar have officially partnered with Yogurtland for a historic, first-ever movie collaboration. Launching today, February 23, the campaign introduces a flavor profile inspired by the film’s lead, Mabel Tanaka—a college student who pioneers the film’s central tech: “hopping” her consciousness into a high-tech robotic beaver.

The Flavor Breakdown: Mabel’s Nutty Adventure

This isn’t just a seasonal addition to the menu; it’s a direct tie-in to the film’s Pacific Northwest setting and its scrappy, impulsive protagonist.

• The Profile: The No Sugar Added Mabel’s Nutty Adventure features Yogurtland’s classic pecans-and-pralines base, packed with toasted pecans and a rich butter praline finish. It’s a “better-for-you” profile that mirrors the film’s themes of environmentalism and the animal kingdom.
• The Experience: Toppings like “Adventure Almonds” allow fans to customize their “swirl,” a nod to the modular, high-tech nature of the film’s robotic hosts.

Beyond the frozen yogurt, the collaboration brings physical artifacts into the real world. Guests at Yogurtland locations nationwide can collect limited-edition Hoppers stickers, marking the first time fans can get their hands on the film’s visual identity. It’s a smart “merch-first” strategy for Pixar, seeding the world of “Beaverton” into the daily lives of families and fans weeks before the theatrical release.

Why It Matters

Hoppers represents a return to original, high-concept sci-fi for Pixar. By partnering with a brand like Yogurtland for an early-access flavor, Disney is signaling that they are ready to turn Mabel’s “mind-hopping” adventures into a full-scale pop-culture moment. For Decked Out readers, it’s a rare look at how the machinery of movie marketing is evolving in 2026.
