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).

In his bid to finally rid Sherwood Forest of outlaws the evil Prince John has decided to burn it down.
However, our eponymous hero has other ideas! With much cunning and more than a little help from the peasants, and even time for a spot of Morris dancing, Robin outwits his Highness.
This is a very interactive production filled with music and humour that combines “myths and legends” with an important study of ecology and the environment.
A real treat for the very young as they join our hero on his adventurous journey in search of somewhere better. Some amusing characters are encountered on the way but not all are as friendly as they may appear. Finally, our champion learns that there is no place quite like home.
Songs and music abound in this production designed specifically for children and their families.
