some shitty titus (insect prince) drawings made last night out of boredom, idk why i drew this maybe i was just bored. anyways i gave him pigtails to fit the design he had in canon and that dress looks nice with the official design especially the colors so i added it anyway. also it really does fit best with his bratty teenage girl personality henceforth these outfits and hairstyles fit well. also idk why i drew the second drawing i just didnt know what else to draw, also dont ask me why the hair is long idk why i just got bored and was (un)creatively thinking how he'd look without pigtails.

Daniel Chong's Recent Posts Regarding Titus

Recently on June 5, 2026 on X (formerly Twitter), the director of Hoppers, none other than Daniel Chong himself, has SPOKEN about Titus on a thread he made about Hoppers he made right after it was released on Disney+ two days prior. And its none other a reveal on on who voiced Titus, debunking any previous claims people have made in the past. Without further ado, let's dive right into this.

Many of us may know Dave Franco, but truly he mainly voices the Jerry Robot (robotic clone impersonating the male mayor Jerry Generazzo (Jon Hamm)). It is implied the same actor behind the Jerry Robot only voiced the butterfly out of convenience given how as soon as Robot Jerry's silicon mask is gone, the voice glitches like a mechanical robot would when it loses key parts such as the silicon mask. Basically in universe, the robot voice and butterfly voice are not the same voice, BUT because of convenience they are anyway, which still makes sense given the butterfly lacked sufficient screentime and spent less than 5 seconds. It appears three times: First time was just a shadow and it never speaks it just flies into the Jerry robot. Second time it was because it lost conscience of Robot Jerry after Mabel's backup plan to severe the connection after he confronted Mabel who confronted him to stop killing people at the rally he invaded and posed as Jerry at, and in there, he actually speaks calling George a "milk-drinker" but almost immediately regains conscience of the Jerry robot. The third was when the robot is completely destroyed, but he says one line and suddenly meets his demise at the hands of the Amphibian King. No one knows the true voice behind the butterfly in universe. It may or may not be the same as the caterpillar. What is known is Franco voiced the butterfly mainly to keep consistency as it transfers back and forth between his Robot Jerry form and his butterfly form, with Robot Jerry dominating more than 95% of his screentime spent as his Insect King form alone in the robot form.

It is often mistaken that Dave Franco also voiced the caterpillar, given his fame at Hollywood and name being well-known and the common misperception that a character is always voiced by the same actor, on top of how Titus' actor for the caterpillar form, Eman Abdul-Razzak, is not a well known actress at all. This tweet has this exact message: while the Insect King (Robot Jerry) is Dave Franco, the true actor behind Titus is none other than Abdul-Razzak herself, who he himself admits is not an actress but a Pixar artist. Prior to this reveal, Abdul-Razzak was known through LinkedIn and other Pixar official socials as the Lighting Technical Director at Pixar and had several interviews as said position. As such, through search she is known through official socials and interviews. Even then, because it is not promoted as much and she is not an actress, she is not a known household name overall. Plus, her name Eman Abdul-Razzak is a foreign name which is often mistaken as masculine or neutral amongst foreigners despite Eman being a feminine name in Arab culture. As such, because the actor is not known and because the name is neutral enough to the audience who is not wary of Arab culture, it is often mistaken to be a child actor if not Franco himself. Before watching the movie, many who saw the promotional posters who did not research actors only knew of Franco and thought the actor was a child. Even after, some did not know a woman voiced the caterpillar form, so they naively conclude the supposed child actor (or Franco himself) is talented to pull off different kinds of voices, albeit it having a feminine voice rather than a childlike voice. Especially because those who knew it was Abdul-Razzak and not Franco see Eman as a neutral name. A third group who did recognize its feminine voice even mistook the character as voiced by Grey DeLisle due to its similarities to Azula of Avatar or Vicky of The Fairly OddParents, both of whom were voiced by DeLisle herself, and how unknown Eman Abdul-Razzak was as a whole in the acting industry.

Is that Azula's VA, yes it sure is, duh! Just kidding lol *laughs maniacally like Titus*.

Unlike most boys voiced by women like Bart Simpson (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) or Timmy Turner (voiced by Tara Strong), Titus sounds more like a female than a child which is more neutral than feminine or masculine. Because of this it was often speculated that Abdul-Razzak did not train her voice to sound like a boy unlike Cartwright or Strong. Chong confirmed this exact speculation through claiming it was her "natural voice". He even credited her for lighting his pupation scene. The fact that she not only voiced the most important forms of real Titus (his caterpillar form) but his pupation scene, truly shows she was the true shape of Titus, even amidst her not being a professional or famous voice actress or actress unlike Dave Franco. Chong in this post alone is trying to show how Abdul-Razzak was the true voice of Titus and not Franco.

For months, Franco participated in interviews of Titus, with some even embedding his caterpillar scenes because of how much screentime the butterfly lacked and how they did not want to spoil his impersonation as Jerry, which he almost spends all of his screentime voicing. Many of this lies to how Abdul-Razzak was not an actress and as such could not interview him, especially given how in international dubs, such as the Japanese dub, when the caterpillar is voiced by an actual actor (in this case Ikue Otani), the voice behind the caterpillar (Abdul-Razzak's counterpart) gets attention, not Franco's counterpart (which would be Junya Hirano). Love Hirano's performance in the Japanese dub too though, ngl, but this was the right way to go.

Because Titus' voice was so feminine, many international dubs to the point of nearly half casted women to voice him, rather than young boys. While it may seem usual given it was standard for women to voice boys, under Disney/Pixar and modern studios this is an anamaly. While young Nick Wilde who was voiced by Kath Soucie in Zootopia had more flexibility given this was a flashback and not a major character like Titus the Insect Prince himself, even for Nick this did not translate well into international dubs the way Titus did. While boys did voice both characters in some dubs, for Titus it is far fewer than the young Nick and is more half and half, if not minority, than Nick's majority, despite both being voiced by women in the original dubs, respectively. Even Glordon from Elio was almost always voiced by boys and in fact was voiced by Remy Edgerly, a boy, in the original dub, despite his design being the inspiration for Titus himself. This fits well though: Abdul-Razzak has done scratch voices for Titus and possibly Glordon himself, as well as possibly many of the boy (and girl) characters for Pixar, to see how the story flowed well, BUT because Titus was so feminine and his personality fits so well with that voice because he was so bratty like a teenage girl and Abdul-Razzak's higher-pitched voice was enough to give off this energy, her natural voice stayed for Titus while it was replaced by actual child actors for the other counterparts (male or female), as her voice was too feminine for a boy BUT not too feminine for someone like Titus who was already feminine herself. Not to forget, Nienke van Dijk (Abdul-Razzak's Netherlands counterpart) was heavily promoted with even behind the scenes showcasing her voicing Titus, in contrast to Florus van Rooijen (Franco's counterpart) who was not even known UNTIL months after the film was released. In fact, it was only after Hoppers came out on Disney+ worldwide that a viewer was able to show screenshots of said credits. Van Dijk was previously not known for boy roles and yet here she is voicing a boy?? How can it be?? Well, Titus' personality explains it all: (s)he' a whiny bratty impulsive helpless girl as a caterpillar basically and she has had experience with Abby of Turning Red who while nice gets mad easily or Lime Chiffon in Strawberry Shortcake who also while nice gets manic in small bursts, very similar to Titus in both his(her) caterpillar and butterfly forms.

Overall the fact that Franco promoted Titus more than Abdul-Razzak and yet the said tweet is trying to uplift Abdul-Razzak, on top of her counterparts being promoted far more than Franco's in contrast in countries where the actor behind the caterpillar is a known actor and not like Abdul-Razzak, all of this shows who truly shaped Titus, which was Abdul-Razzak. Even before teasers were released it was explicitly known of Abdul-Razzak, and she even was in the casting credits, but no one cared to explain...

UNTIL NOW. NOW this tweet has been posted, it is about time we let it be known Abdul-Razzak voiced Titus as we hail him (her) as Insect King!

About Transmasculine or Masculine Readings for Titus (Insect King) from Hoppers in Comparison to Canon

Let's dive deep into a transmasculine/masculine reading of Titus, the main antagonist of Hoppers, and how that makes or does not make sense of in the story canon.

Who is Titus? Titus is the vengeful and unhinged ruler of the insects. He starts off as a monarch caterpillar as the spoiled, bratty son (daughter?) of the Insect Queen. Given how he pupates himself not only into a butterfly but into a robotic clone of the male mayor Jerry Generazzo (Jon Hamm), he is voiced by two actors: Eman Abdul-Razzak for his monarch caterpillar form (Insect Prince) and Dave Franco for his Robot Jerry form (Insect King). His monarch butterfly form is also voiced by Franco like his Robot Jerry form, though it is implied this could be out of convenience rather than genuinely the same voice of Robot Jerry voicing the butterfly in universe given the butterfly lacks sufficient screentime and how Franco's voice glitches as the robot is destroyed like a robot.

His monarch caterpillar form is commonly known as Young Titus given both the monarch butterfly (albeit its lack of screentime) and Robot Jerry are voiced by Franco and how pupation is often associated with puberty and development. If portrayed as a young boy, it brings homage to women voicing boys like Bart Simpson is portrayed by Nancy Cartwright or how Ikue Otani is known for her boy roles rather than female roles (she was also the voice of the Insect Prince in the Japanese dub). However, the ideal of women voicing boys is declining and these days modern studios cast actual children in child roles. This is especially unusual given Hoppers is a Pixar movie and Pixar's long-running standard mandate of voicing actual boys in boy roles, such as Nemo who was voiced by Alexander Gould in Finding Nemo, released in 2003, a time where women voicing boys was still standard, and even Remy Edgerly was cast as Glordon in Elio, who has many similarities with Titus in a visual sense despite their opposite personalities. Titus is especially unusual given he is voiced by women in nearly half of international dubs, while Nemo and Glordon are rarely, if ever, voiced by women internationally. Unlike most boys voiced by women whose actresses and behind the scenes are laid low on promotions on official channels in every country to give the allusion that the character is a young boy to avoid confusing the audience, the official Disney account in Netherlands, Korea, and Japan promoted behind the scenes of Nienke van Dijk voicing him in the booth, Lee Su-ji talking about her dual roles as Titus and his mother or behind the scenes of recording both characters in the booth, or actors behind the Animal Council cosplaying their characters where the actress behind the Insect Prince, Ikue Otani, cosplayed him as a "female prince" rather than crossdressing like people would if it were a boy role (while Pikachu can be cosplayed as either gender it does not have male titles unlike the Insect Prince which has a male title, somehow Otani didn't cosplay Pikachu but cosplayed the Prince in a more feminine fashion). Even the young Nick Wilde, despite being voiced by Kath Soucie in the original version, was mostly voiced by boys despite being a flashback character. Minor characters are also almost voiced by boys but have more flexibility just as flashback characters like young Nick do. Titus, however, is a major character and not just a flashback of a main character. Young Simba was almost always portrayed by male actors in the 1994 dub. In fact, in the original, Jonathan Taylor Thomas voiced Young Simba. Insect Prince Titus is just as significant if not more important than Young Simba, and not just a younger version unlike young Nick Wilde. While the Insect Prince is voiced by a boy in some countries, this is mainly due to his titles and does not outweigh the unusual amount of women that do voice him. Not to forget, in the original English version, Daniel Chong recently revealed in a recent tweet the following:

This already confirms suspicions that were said from the beginning: Titus sounds like a teenage girl rather than a child when he was a caterpillar. It was already known Eman Abdul-Razzak voiced him, as seen in posters, and it was also known she works as a Pixar lighting artist, but she is not known as an actress and as such she is mistaken as a child actor. Or better yet, because people mistaken that characters only have one actor, people often mistaken her for Dave Franco given Abdul-Razzak is not known and also with how the butterfly lacked screentime and the caterpillar got more screentime than his butterfly form they needed to portray the insect form and conveniently used the caterpillar, leading fans to believe Franco voiced the caterpillar. In fact, in her official post which revealed she was going to voice Titus, Nienke van Dijk even mistook Franco as also the voice behind the young Titus, in fact, because of how unknown Abdul-Razzak is in the acting industry.

Chong's post just confirmed what was already suspected from the beginning and gave a reality check to those who mistook Franco as the voice of the caterpillar. This also explains how Titus sounded more like a teenage girl than a child in the English dub: the actress was using her natural voice and did not train to sound like a prepubescent child, unlike Nancy Cartwright did as Bart Simpson. Abdul-Razzak, still nevertheless, is talented given how high pitched the voice was, albeit its femininity behind its tone and word usage.

Enough of the actors though, let's now dive into Titus's own personality. When he was a caterpillar, he was known to be rude and disrespectful to others, even his own mother. He bullied Mabel calling her a "web-footed commoner". In addition, even during meetings such as meeting with the Animal Council, he would rudely tell his mother to go home and never stopped munching on leaves and was shown to be overweight, showing his lack of respect. Despite this lack of respect, he acts like a helpless, whiny girl, rather than a boy, given he always sits on a branch with leaves and it is only through whining and screaming he shows his sadism, showing how spoiled and bratty he was.

This aligns well with the mean girl archetype given his attitude and his brattiness. After his mother dies, he pretends to cry for his mother's death, aligning with how mean and spoiled teenage girls tend to fake their niceness to look nice. However almost immediately it becomes laughs and almost immediately he steals the crown of his mother, henceforth becoming the next Insect Queen.

He declares himself King... only to test out the robot software of Hopper technology given him and the Animal Council discovered humans were hopping onto animal bodies... previously the Animal Council (including the late Insect Queen and evidently Titus himself) were planning to kill Jerry after Mabel and George revealed Jerry's plans to drive animals, including the council and its subjects, away from their lands so he can expand the highway or build more land for his citizens of Beaverton, the main thing Mabel is advocating against throughout the film, which Mabel and George were against when the Council wanted to kill ("squish") Jerry, something they plan to still stop Jerry through alternative means.

Titus seems to have a deep hatred for humans (especially Jerry) given his mother was squished by Mabel, a beaver which was actually a human hopping herself in a beaver robot, and how he evidently realized Mabel was one of the humans who hopped onto animal bodies and especially Jerry after the council (aside from George and Mabel) unanimously called for Jerry to be "squished". He especially has a deep hatred for Jerry but later he makes use of the Hopper technology to opposite use, but before that he demands his subjects to attend him while he completes his metamorphosis into a repulsive butterfly, which would later be the Jerry Robot he forced scientists and the council to help him invent so it could be successfully worked out. Evidently the King title was more so a mockery of Jerry, given his hints at using technology almost immediately after and how he was forced to attend council meetings which shows he is a legitmate heir, and how still despite all they were hesitant to hail him as king. It is more plausible to be because he is actually female given his lack of a father and insects being matriarchal. After he completes metamorphosis, he is seen as the robotic clone of Jerry, also known as Robot Jerry.

Titus seems to be happy being a male, especially given he proudly talks about how his "voice has dropped" and he has "pupated into a man". After he shows off his gestures and wonders what happened to his original body, he exclaims how his body is "weak and small" and liked "this body better".

However, none of this shows he genuinely enjoys being male, especially since this is downplayed on how he impersonates Jerry, a man he has hatred for even plotting to have killed. If anything it shows his hatred has turned to obsession given his remarks about his voice, his old body being small, all of which are used to mock Jerry rather than genuine enjoyment. Plus despite this supposed Jerry enjoyment, he even removes the tie of the Jerry robot, which is often dismissed as if he did not know humans wore ties despite the fact he engineered this entire robot himself and had an intelligent plan on how to build this robot and how to make scientists and animals build it, and calls it a "tail for [his] neck," showing his first time struggles navigating as a male reminiscent of female characters who struggled when they first disguised themselves.

Plus when he impersonates Jerry at the rally he remarks about how it is a good time to be human, further showing all his enjoyment is more satirical and obsessive than genuine. He even mockingly asks the citizens if they ever squished an insect trying to act like a human showing his obsession rather than genuine enjoyment. He is often claimed to act like a "frat bro" given his seemingly enjoyment of being male, when in reality all of it is just extreme obsession wrapped around due to his extreme sadism which he already exhibited even when he was a caterpillar, and his status as the insect equivalent of a teenager, given his previous "teenage girl" childhood he had as a caterpillar and his sudden pupation which lasted less than two days.

This shows that evidently in canon he is not genuinely masculine or enjoying being male, rather all of this is more obsession and the extremities it can take given he is even willing to impersonate the very man he hates. Plus, he has a hyperfeminine personality especially when he was a caterpillar which he evidently did not lose even when he becomes Robot Jerry given his mockery of male puberty and his removal of Jerry's tie, all indicating struggles of a male disguise albeit obsession. Plus to add onto why he does not make sense as male, is shown when his father is never known, plus how after his well-deserved death at the hands of the Amphibian King, he is succeeded by a female ant as the next Insect Queen, showing the insect matriarchy is meant to be matriarchal.

Not to forget, in real life ant and beaver colonies are matriarchal, but somehow butterflies have female symbolism unlike the latter two, all of which indicate George should have been female and not even a leader of his colony. However, unlike Titus who is entirely backed by two queens he is sandwiched between (his mother Insect Queen and the female ant who succeeded him after his death), George reveals his backstory is patriarchal given his abusive father who banished him (rather than a mother) or his uncle (his father's brother) who usurped his father's throne (rather than an aunt). Plus Titus has no siblings known and if they were known they would have attend the council with him. The two butterflies which accompanied Titus when he was a caterpillar cannot be his siblings given they are much smaller than both his mother and Titus himself and especially since they are only used as transport to transport him and the branch higher and leave when him and the branch is at a stable place to sit at. On top of that if he had siblings they would also be attending the council as they too would be legitimate heirs.

In canon it makes better sense for Titus to be a female rather than a male or trans male, something Pixar fails to explore and leaves ambiguous due to their hesitancy to brand Titus as a female villain when he had everything (his hierarchy, his struggles disguising as a man, his bratty and helpless girl personality). He even had female actors voicing his caterpillar form, with Abdul-Razzak using her natural voice unlike boy voice specialists like Cartwright who train their voices tirelessly to sound more like boys, which shows their perception of him as female albeit their hesitancy to officially brand him as such. Plus not to forget in the movie he was never called an Insect Prince aside from credits or official promotions on social media, he was only called Titus by his mother, showing if he were a princess it only takes script and promotion changes not modifications of the film in itself. Hopefully this is a marketing scheme and he is revealed to be actually female, but if not it shows poorly given he had all the potential and still remained male. Plus if he were male, it would also make no sense given Hoppers already has a large amount of female antagonists and is the Pixar film known for having the most significant amount of such kind (albeit minor rather than always major), with Diane Shark, Fish Queen, Titus' own mother, and the Reptile Queens (three antagonists), so adding Titus as a female antagonist would be more like breathing rather than hesitant changing. Especially since one of them was his own mother and he had no father to begin with, if he were male his mother could've also been a male character. Even as a female he could've still been voiced by Dave Franco, he needed a male voice for the robot and if it sounded like a female he would not have even succeeded the moment he spoke at a rally plus it was a robot indicating a mechanical body that needed a mechanical voice anyway. Even if Pixar were to bring queer representation, all of his intentions of supposedly enjoying being male are more so due to obsession with male robot, henceforth even in that scenario it becomes headcanon rather than canon to say that he enjoyed being male.

That being said, in the headcanon sphere, people can headcanon him however they want. This explores possible headcanons for what if he were not to identify as female but rather as transmasculine or cismasculine. In the transmasculine angle, one possible headcanon: could his hatred of Jerry be so obsessive to the point he idolizes him as sometimes hate with enough obsession becomes love in the headcanon space? And no I am not trying to ship him with Jerry. Not especially when Titus is still a teenager and Jerry is a middle aged adult and given when Jerry sees this robotic version of himself he is scared of him; plus even if Titus were in his butterfly form, he would be scared that a butterfly is flying around approaching his face, henceforth him developing a two-sided relationship isn't possible, something required of to make a ship in the first place. Rather seeing him as an idol to worship rather than developing a relationship. If this were the case maybe just maybe given his love of Jerry, he wants to be like him seeing him as a role model he dreams of becoming and only kills him so that no one can stop him from stealing Jerry's identity. It's an interesting perspective to take and would explain how he enjoyed being male. While this is too mature to be canon, this could make a good headcanon and bring back queer representation, headcanoning Titus as a trans man who initially was raised by a girl by his mother but after hearing Jerry's name he wants to kill the idol he loves so he can become that idol himself and enjoys being that idol so much its the same as him enjoying being male. Again, not canon, but an interesting angle for a transmasculine headcanon. Another perspective, if cismasculine, would be how he was mistaken as a girl from the day he was born. This would explore how because he was mistaken as a girl, he somehow became the legitimate heir due to those mistakes which was how he was able to attend council meetings or how because he looked like a girl thanks to this incompetency they were hesitant to hail him or explain how he never got familiar with male customs explaining also his female struggles later on as Robot Jerry especially with Jerry's tie. Alternatively would be how his mother raised him from day one to be a girl given her strong insistence on a female heir despite her knowing Titus to be a boy, and how with Jerry he gets freedom from the female childhood he once hated and eventually his obsession turns to idolization which was how he impersonated Jerry, as explored similarly with the transmasculine headcanon discussed before. Again both themes are too mature to be canon given the audience is children so they may not understand how he was actually male raised as a girl or how his mother abused him forcing him to be a female heir, but in the headcanon space where older audiences are more prevalent, they are more mature enough to see these things and as such, these headcanons certainly can explain more about him. None of these alternative angles can be canon as it defeats his entire purpose as a villain given his hatred of humans and makes it more confusing, but for headcanon spaces, anything is possible and if anything it explores him better alternatively one step at a time. Nevertheless,

ALL HAIL TITUS THE INSECT KING!
