Piper Curda<\/a> remembers exactly where she was when she found out she\u2019d booked the lead role in \u201cHoppers<\/a>,\u201d Pixar<\/a>\u2019s latest animated feature.<\/p>\n

Curda was lounging in her Chicago apartment with her best friend when her agent called with \u201cthe most insane opportunity of my life.\u201d She and her friend ordered Milk Bar<\/a> for a mini celebration to mark the occasion. \u201cThe relative smallness of that moment is the perfect juxtaposition against how big the rest of this has been,\u201d says Curda.<\/p>\n
