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.

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.

Daniel Chong's film isn't just prescient, it's a gutting reminder of hope and togetherness.

Hoppers may not be the Pixar classic that reminds everyone why the studio once ruled animation, but it is a solid, enjoyable step in the right direction. Right now, that may be enough.

"Hoppers" might not quite scale the historic heights of Pixar's masterworks, but its hopeful, inspiring soul will leave an undeniable mark on the hearts of its viewers.

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.
