‘Hoppers’ Review: Pixar’s most hilarious and entertaining film in a long time
- On March 2, 2026, Mashable critic Belen Edwards praised Pixar's Hoppers as a wildly funny, emotionally resonant film that opens in theaters on March 6, 2026.
- Mabel Tanaka, a 19-year-old animal lover, uses hopping technology invented by Dr. Sam to inhabit a robotic beaver and confront Mayor Jerry Generazzo's beltway threatening Beaverton's glade.
- Visually, Hoppers shifts perspective so animals appear more expressive from an animal's viewpoint and toy-like from a human's view, while its third act erupts into fever-dream chaos with irreverent comic set pieces like the geese gag.
- Examining activism, Hoppers shows environmentalism and community as routes to collective salvation while exploring the limits of activism as militant meddling backfires, aiming to resonate with young audiences.
- Compared to The Wild Robot, Hoppers charts its own path despite echoes of Avatar, while director Daniel Chong, director and Pixar creative, makes his feature directorial debut.
