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.

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.

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.

Some likeable characters, a decent amount of good jokes, and a creatively affective lesson make this a solid recommendation.

I take my nine-year-old granddaughter to movies. So often, I find nothing to enjoy but I sit through them so she can enjoy herself at the movies. But that was not the case with "Hoopers." I was captivated from the first scenes. I loved the messages of the movie, I enjoyed the fact that even the "villains" (or shall I say, antagonists) ended up having redeeming qualities things weren't purely black and white, good and evil, but rather more nuanced. Something for everyone, no matter your age!

Pixars version of Avatar. Cute, heartwarming, and some good funny moments. The Easter eggs are always fun to spot too. Its no Toy Story but worth a watch.
