Hoppers is a riot of laughs, heart, and adorable animal antics—no wonder it already has a 97% Rotten Tomatoes rating.
Critics say it's easily one of Pixar’s most loved films in recent years, and it’s not hard to see why.
HOPPERS: SYNOPSIS
The story follows Mabel Tanaka, an animal lover who “hops” her consciousness into a life-like beaver so she can talk directly to animals. Think Avatar, but with humans hopping into animal bodies, and a twist you won’t see coming.
Her main goal is to save her late grandmother’s glade—a haven that has long served as a sanctuary for both her and the local wildlife—from being turned into a massive highway.
To get through the stubborn mayor, Jerry Generazzo, Mabel confronts him while inhabiting a beaver’s body.
What follows is a hilarious, visually captivating adventure that explores animal species and their ecosystem dynamics.
Think of it as a zoology lesson brought to life with Pixar-level charm.

HOPPERS: MEMORABLE SCENES
One of the highlights was when Mabel and her beaver friend King George tried communicating with Jerry via a cellphone—a moment that had the viewers in stitches.
As the animals band together to help humans overcome a catastrophy, expect nonstop humor and stunning animation that keep kids—and adults—clapping, laughing, and fully engaged.
The film isn’t meant to be mind-blowing or deeply introspective.
Instead, it leans into keeping the audience entertained with a steady stream of surprises.
If you’re looking for an escape for a little over two hours, whether alone or with friends or the whole family, this one delivers.
Don’t overthink it—just sit back, enjoy its silliness, the absurdity, and let the fun take over.
Mabel’s grandmother says it best in the film: “It's hard to be mad when you feel like you're part of something big.”
After watching Hoppers, you’re left with a similar feeling: Aren’t you glad you’re part of something big?
