    Critics Consensus

    Celluloid Critics Consensus

    What is Hoppers about?

    Animal-loving teenager Mabel uses revolutionary hopper technology to transfer her consciousness into a lifelike robotic beaver — and discovers an entire kingdom of creatures preparing to revolt against a smooth-talking mayor encroaching on their habitat. Daniel Chong's Pixar debut follows Mabel from scientific curiosity to species-wide diplomacy as Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, and Jon Hamm voice a conflict between pond politics and human expansion. What starts as eco-comedy becomes a fight to broker peace between species without losing the heart that made Inside Out's best moments feel earned.
