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.

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.

"I don’t want to jinx anything, but Hoppers could be the bounce-back that Pixar has direly needed."

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.
