Hoppers

“This latest Pixar animation is a frenzied exploration of an idea that could have been told ever so simply, with not much humour or a catchy song or two to lift it. Somewhere along all that digging, the film loses sight of its central message.”

“Pixar's latest isn't trying to hide its various influences. Instead, this buoyant, freewheeling adventure wears its references for all to see. After the heavy-handed "Elio" misfire, "Hoppers" might still feel fairly distant from the heights of peak Pixar; It's also a big, joyful leap in the right direction.”

“'Hoppers' is Pixar's freshest, funniest movie in years, blending the spectacle of 'Avatar' with an endearing cast of beavers in a film that stands among the studio's best in recent memory.”

“Hops lightly through big themes, with plenty of laughs. Hop to the theatre for animated creatures and the playful energy that will appeal to younger viewers.”

“HOPPERS is a well-intentioned, environment-focused entertainer that wins”

“The Delightful New Pixar Film Is an Out-of-the-Box Critter Comedy That's Like 'Bambi' on Crack”

“Pixar's latest animated movie Hoppers delivers equal parts laughter and compassion with a sprinkle of tear-jerking scenes, as the studio's narratives are known to do. Hoppers does a great job of interrogating these issues from multiple points of view.”

“Clever, funny and visually appealing, Daniel Chong's nutty action comedy zips along, driven by rambunctious energy and a spirited Mark Mothersbaugh score. This is not a movie that feels fine-tuned to death in studio meetings. There's a crazy, almost anarchic narrative logic that keeps it zigging and zagging unpredictably.”

“Smart, funny, exciting, honest, and touching, Hoppers is the kind of film you can watch with the bachcha party and elders alike, with a happy grin. Hoppers has jokes, chases, largeness of heart and solid science — the fact that beavers are the environmental engineers of the natural world.”
