Plot Summary

Time Hoppers: The Silk Road is a 2025 animated adventure sci-fi film directed by Flordeliza Dayrit, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Sakina Fakhri. The story is set in 2050 Vancouver, where four gifted students from the elite Aqli Academy — Abdullah, Aysha, Khalid, and Layla — stumble upon the power to travel through time. Rather than a silly day trip, their discovery throws them into a high-stakes mission along the ancient Silk Road. Tasked with saving influential scientists from an evil time-travelling alchemist named Fasid, the group races across deserts, cities, and eras to protect crucial discoveries and keep history intact. Blending family-friendly animation with educational adventure and fantasy, Time Hoppers: The Silk Road introduces young audiences to historical cultures and scientific legacy while keeping the action bright, fast-paced, and fun. The voice cast includes Angel Haven Rey, Jayce McKenzie, Tareek Talati, Emily Gin, and Omar Rega,n among others, anchoring the film’s diverse ensemble. Distributed via Fathom Entertainment in the United States, the film runs approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and is positioned as a family-friendly event theatrical release beginning February 7, 2026, following earlier international screenings in late 2025. Time Hoppers is ideal for families, kids, and anyone who loves animated science fiction with heart, humour, and an educational twist.
