PIXAR'S BEST ORIGINAL IN YEARS?! Hoppers Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Greg Alba, Tara Erickson & Jon Maturan react to and review Hoppers (2026), Pixar’s imaginative animated adventure that blends heart, humor, and high-concept sci-fi with the studio’s signature emotional storytelling. Directed by Daniel Chong (We Bare Bears, We Baby Bears), Hoppers follows Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda — I Didn’t Do It, Legacies), a curious and compassionate young woman who uses experimental technology to “hop” her consciousness into robotic animal bodies, allowing her to communicate with animals and experience the natural world from their perspective. What begins as a scientific breakthrough quickly evolves into a larger journey of empathy and environmental awareness, as Mabel uncovers the fragile balance between humans and wildlife. The film features standout moments like Mabel’s first exhilarating “hop” into an animal body, visually inventive sequences exploring the animal kingdom from entirely new perspectives, and a high-stakes mission to protect a threatened ecosystem from corporate exploitation. Along the way, she encounters a colorful cast of animal characters and human allies, with performances from Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Top Gun: Maverick) as a charismatic but morally questionable businessman, and Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live, DuckTales) bringing comedic energy to one of the animal companions. With its blend of inventive world-building, heartfelt themes, and visually dynamic storytelling, Hoppers continues Pixar’s tradition of crafting meaningful, family-friendly adventures that resonate with audiences of all ages. #Hoppers #Pixar #PixarMovie #AnimatedFilm #MovieReaction #FilmReaction #Animation #FamilyMovies #PixarAnimation #MovieReview #NewMovie #NewMovies #React #ReactTo #Reaction Follow *Tara Erickson* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow *Jon Maturan* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonmaturan/?hl=en Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 Checking In! 1:55 Hoppers Reaction 1:04:59 Hoppers Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

The squish of the insect queen was truly the most flabbergasted I have ever been in a theatre. 😂

I never thought Daniel Chong's artstyle from We Bare Bears would translate so well to cgi, but it looks amazing. And I love how insane the plot gets. A tyrannical butterfly and a flying shark? How do you come up with that?

No one in the theater laughed harder than me when the shark first made its appearance. Wonderfully absurd

"The ultimate antagonistic force is a butterfly." Kirby fans: "First time?"

I love how the common reaction of everyone is 😮 when they see the Butterflies queen get squished by Mabel. I 100% did not see that coming

I think it takes a strong screenplay to go as insane as the second half of this movie does and still stick the landing

Fun fact: in German the shark is called Haidi (like Heidi but with Hai cause it's German for shark) and is voiced by Heidi Klum
