Hoppers (2026) Review

When Mabel a 19 year old animal lover uses technology which places her inside a robotic beaver she is about to uncover mysteries within the animal world that she could never have imagined.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hoppers had a rather quick turnaround from cinema release to landing on Disney+ and I will admit that having then watched it, I was disappointed with myself for not actually going to see it at the cinema.

Mabel has always tried to protect animals and allow them to be free, something that has always been the case from being 6 years old and then that continues all the way to her being in college. She wants nothing more than to help and protect them, including going up against the mayor in an attempt to stop a road being built throughout the glade. A special place she links to her grandmother, who had always supported everything she stood for.

Mabel had been trying to figure out how to get the animals back and when she discovers a project her professors had been working on she ignores any warns and decides to take matters into her own hands and hops into the beaver and escapes from the lab. This would then set a lot of different things in motion, especially when she is mistaken for a real beaver by King George. However, she then finds out that some trees had been placed with audio that only animals can hear to scare them away.

Hoppers takes on a much deeper and meaningful approach than you may first realise, due to the fight for nature and animals. Also demonstrating that technology might also not be the answer to helping solve that and could hinder instead.

With this being a Pixar film we just know that visually it is going to look great, with so many different colours throughout. Given that the main setting is within a damn, it certainly manages to show some great animation. Disney+ also has a few hours worth of calming video within the damn and different animals showing up.
