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.

Critics Consensus

An eager beaver for endearment that has the charm to back it up, Hoppers is a sprightly riot that might just be the funniest entry in the Pixar canon yet.

Audience Says

Hop, hop, hop to Hoppers -- a peak return for Pixar that delivers an absurdly cute and jubilant story for kids, adults, and animal lovers alike.

Hoppers feels a little less sanded-down than most of the studio’s recent movies, less content to coast on formula and hew to expectations about what Pixar movies do and don’t do.

Unlike a lot of its animated competitors, Hoppers is at its best when it’s most manic.

The movie, in actuality, is refreshingly mordant about what might really happen if prey and predators were to try banding together: Their efforts would immediately devolve into a despairing, even political quagmire.

You’ll laugh a lot and you won’t cry (at least not very much) during this Pixar movie.

One of the biggest strengths of Hoppers, Pixar’s latest animated feature, is that director Daniel Chong and screenwriter Jesse Andrews realize that saving your neighborhood can be just as compelling as saving the world.

Zany when it needs to be and emotionally touching throughout Hoppers is not only a film for the whole family but it is a film that will have you laughing and crying throughout.

It was horrible, it was way too woke sadly I wanted to like it but the animation style just wasn’t the best, the lizard meme was very forced and annoying and just not good at all I wouldn’t recommend it
