Hoppers is Pixar at its best, a story with warmth, humor, exciting action, endearing characters, and a reassuringly expansive notion of community.

Like many of its Pixar predecessors, Hoppers manages to thread the needle between a charming story for a young audience and a considered take on the climate crisis that will also resonate for their adult caregivers.

Possibly the best Pixar movie yet, an absolute masterpiece. Superb pacing with no filler sequences, just the right amount of emotional touch and gorgeous visuals. It has all the best Pixar elements of well-timed humor, an important message, and interesting characters.

El regreso de la verdadera magia de Pixar
Desde el estreno de Coco, Pixar nos ha llevado por una montaña rusa de experimentos visuales y narrativos. Algunos funcionaron y otros, como la divisiva y para muchos "fastidiosa" Turning Red, se alejaron del equilibrio que hizo grande al estudio. Sin embargo, con Hoppers, la espera ha terminado: estamos ante la mejor película de la casa de la lámpara en casi una década.
El Corazón de la Historia
Hoppers no solo es una película divertida; es una experiencia emocionante, intensa y, por sobre todo, reconfortante. Logra lo que parecía perdido en las últimas entregas: una conexión emocional genuina que no se siente forzada. La premisa del intercambio de conciencia con un castor, que podría haber sido un simple chiste de hora y media, se convierte en el vehículo perfecto para una historia con un alma inmensa.
¿A la altura de Coco?
Si bien Coco sigue siendo el estándar de oro por su profundidad cultural y nostalgia, Hoppers logra ponerse al mismo nivel en términos de calidad. Tiene ese "toque Pixar" donde la comedia física convive perfectamente con momentos que te dejan el corazón lleno. Es una narrativa redonda que sabe cuándo hacerte reír a carcajadas y cuándo darte un respiro para reflexionar sobre la conexión y la identidad.
Veredicto
Es una película que todo el mundo debería ver. Pixar ha demostrado que, cuando deja de lado las excentricidades agotadoras y se enfoca en contar una historia con garra y sensibilidad, sigue siendo imbatible. Hoppers es, sin duda, un clásico instantáneo que nos devuelve la fe en el estudio.

If Pixar is now just as formulaic as its Hollywood animation peers, then director Daniel Chong's film is a reminder that a stereotypical crowd-pleaser from this studio is made with enough emotional sincerity and visual inspiration to never feel like cheap product fallen off the factory line.

Even when it hops off course, this animated gem is funny and fierce in all the right places. Pixar is back, baby. Haters deserve a good squishing.

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.

One can’t help but long for something a little more exciting than “pleasant” – Pixar used to lead the animation industry, and they’ve been treading water for far too long.

Pixar has been alternating between playing things safe with sequels to its hits and taking bigger swings with emotional human stories. Hoppers sits awkwardly between these impulses, recycling emotional moments and plots from other films while eschewing any clear moral or big moments of character growth.

Me pareció una película súper entretenida, arriesgada y muy bien ejecutada. Tiene una mezcla perfecta de acción, humor y corazón que te mantiene enganchado todo el tiempo. En general, es divertida, emocionante y muy bonita.

The main protagonist was very unlikable and not relatable. This alone made me annoyed throughout the film.

This Pixar animation takes on the climate crisis. A 19-year-old animal lover discovers a new technology that allows her to inhabit a robotic beaver, which leads her to assemble the animal kingdom to save her favorite pond. As expected, the lively pacing keeps it moving, but it lacks some of the hallmarks of the studio. The characters are charming, but none of them are especially quirky or unique. Although there are spunky moments, the opportunities for genuine humor are slim. The design is attractive without adding anything new to the style. Sure, it’s got a warm center and important message, but there’s a lack of anything new or special.
