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.

Beneath the rebellious energy and robot beavers lies a tender story about connection and empathy. Hoppers proves that even Pixar’s wildest ideas can lead somewhere wonderful and unexpectedly profound.

B-

It is cute-ish. It has some fun moments. It is also very derivative and seems to go out of its way to avoid saying anything of actual significance about capitalism or environmental calamity.

Easily one of the most unhinged, bonkers movies the studio has ever made, and the best one they’ve put out in years.

After the underperformance of Elio, Hoppers gave a nice solid story that’s grounded in humility and understanding empathy

My grandmother transitioned not long before I saw this, so I'm a bit biased. I still think it's a wonderful film though

Kids loved it! Had a lot of great laughs and was a bit “heavier” than expected. Fun movie for the family, but very little kids may find it a bit scary.
