"Hoppers" with Dr. Eileen Lacey for Cameo Cinema's Science in Cinema on April 26

What if you could talk to animals and understand what they’re saying? In Disney and Pixar’s all-new feature film “Hoppers,” scientists have discovered how to “hop” human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals! The adventure introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use the technology, uncovering mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined.

What shapes our pet's personality? While our pet's personality is shaped by a complex mix of genetics (nature) and environmental factors (nurture), could they reflect our own personality more than we might think?

Q&A with Dr. Eileen Lacey, Professor
University of California, Berkeley Department of
Integrative Biology, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology.

All patrons receive a COMPLIMENTARY POPCORN plus a raffle ticket for a chance to win custom animal-themed artwork!
