Set in a lush fantasy world, the film follows the adventures of Chickenhare, a young hero born half chicken and half hare, who was adopted by King Peter, a famous hare adventurer. Eager to fit in and feel loved in spite of his differences, Chickenhare is obsessed with adventuring - no matter how clumsy he is. When the Kingdom's greatest villain - his own uncle - escapes from jail and threatens to overthrow his father, Chickenhare embarks on an epic and initiatory quest along with Abe, a sarcastic turtle, and Meg, a martial arts expert skunk, to stop him.
"What would an animal that is half chicken and half rabbit be like? 'Hopper et le hamster des ténèbres', an exclusive Netflix animation, imagines just such a creature as its protagonist in a plot that evokes spy genre clichés, a mix of 007 and Indiana Jones. In the story, we follow the journey of this frangoelho who, eager to fit in and feel loved despite his differences, becomes obsessed with the adventure of finding magical artifacts before his evil uncle. Although it is not a revolutionary animation, like the films directed by filmmaker Ben Stassen ('Corgi: Top Dog', 'Big Dad, Big Son'), it should entertain and be a pastime for the little ones."
