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

Hoppers' isn’t just James Cameron’s Avatar if it had feelings, it’s also James Cameron’s Avatar if it was good.

Very well made Pixar movie. Every single unique element worked well. The concept are well presented and the show some solid laughs and coming of age drama.

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.

The trailer didn’t do this movie justice! It made me so happy to see such an original but relatable story that’s funny and inspiring. Definitely more inventive than Avatar 3.

From an adult's perspective I'd call this mid-level Pixar; perfectly executed but hardly memorable, so, a 6. From a kid's perspective, though, it might earn a 10 based on the furry critters alone.

Hoppers is an interesting and enjoyable animated adventure with creative ideas and solid entertainment value. While it keeps the colorful energy and charm you expect, it doesn’t quite capture the emotional depth and magic of older Pixar classics. Still, the concept is fun, the pacing works well, and it remains engaging throughout. Not top-tier, but definitely a good watch overall.
