Movie Review - Hoppers
It’s so much fun watching a great Pixar movie.
Pixar hit a rough patch for a while. Elio flopped hard at release, and before Inside Out 2’s massive success, we had Elemental, Turning Red, and—ouch—Lightyear.
But with Hoppers, Pixar is back in top form and firing on all cylinders. The animation is stunning, the characters are a blast, the action sequences deliver real excitement, and it has genuine heart without hammering you with a message.
Plus, it’s always a treat guessing the voice actors—“Who is that?!”—and trying to ID them all before the credits roll. You’ll probably miss a few surprises.
You don’t need kids in tow to enjoy this breath of fresh air. Just go have fun!
