  • The film earned strong returns and reviews in theaters, reporting roughly $387 million worldwide and a 94% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating for critics.
  • Directed by Daniel Chong, the story follows Mabel transferring her consciousness into a robotic beaver and features voice performances from Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, and Meryl Streep.
