When 19-year-old Mabel gets her hands on a newly-discovered technology that enables humans to “hop” into robotic animals, allowing them to communicate with real animals, she uses it to transfer her mind into the body of a lifelike robotic beaver and attempts to befriend the many critters of her local woodland, which she’s trying to save from being bulldozed by Mayor Jerry (Jon Hamm), who is bent on building a new freeway.

Despite the crackling chemistry evident on screen between Curda and Moynihan, the pair revealed they never even met before their dialogue with each other was already recorded.
