Borys Kit from The Hollywood Reporter described Pixar’s HOPPERS as wonderfully chaotic in a single sentence on X, formerly known as Twitter, calling it ‘lunacy and pretty awesome.’

Germain Lussier from io9 and Gizmodo admitted he didn’t have high hopes going into the movie, but ended up calling it excellent. He described it as sweet, humorous, and moving, but also praised its willingness to take risks and explore darker, more unsettling themes. He ultimately said the film was ‘truly special’.

Journalist Ashley Carter believes Hoppers is among Pixar’s strongest films in recent years. She was particularly impressed with the beautiful animation and thought the story, while unusual, worked really well. Carter also noted the movie’s lively pace, humor, and memorable characters.

Attractions Magazine described the upcoming film, Hoppers, as “a very cute movie with an unexpected adventure.” They plan to share a full review next week.

She added that collaboration and mutual respect could help everyone achieve greater things, and that the movie left her feeling hopeful and with a stronger appreciation for nature. Smith also urged people to see the film in cinemas, advising them to bring tissues because it’s likely to be emotional.

Skyler Shuler, co-founder of The DisInsider, praised the movie as a huge success for Pixar and highly recommended it to everyone. He described it as genuinely touching, funny, and enjoyable, and predicted it would quickly become a beloved Pixar classic for many fans.

The movie Hoppers will be released in U.S. theaters on March 6, 2026. Daniel Chong directed the film, which was written by Jesse Andrews, who also came up with the original story.
