I frickin love this Pixar film, it's so silly, and it doesn't take anything seriously, which I absolutely love it. All the animals in there look so cuddly and cute. I would love to get my hands on that device and turn into a cat or something. This film got me way too excited for no reason at all.

Skillfully weaving elements of soulful drama and hilarious comedy all over the plot, Daniel Chong and Jesse Andrews create an amazing adventure that keeps you breathless. It highlights the power of seeing the good in others even when it’s hidden deep beneath the surface, and it reminds us that we’re all part of one giant pond called Earth.
Not to mention, the animals in the movie are absolutely adorable!

Pixar films have always been seen to be set at a higher standard than others in animation. Their newest is HOPPERS, a story about animal-lover Mabel (Piper Curuda) trying to save a very special grove from being replaced by a highway. She finds out that scientists at her university have developed technology to transfer the mind into a robot beaver. They make a joke about how this is definitely NOT like AVATAR. While in beaver form, Mabel is able to understand the other animals, so she tries to gather them to stop greedy Mayor Generazzo (Jon Hamm) and his plans. This was a lot of fun. The animals have their own council, each leader having a tiny crown. I loved the sneaky references to other Disney films. If AVATAR had relations with THE WILD ROBOT, it would be HOPPERS. It has a very big heart, focusing on the beauty of nature and how it connects us to all living things. Empathy, for all species. It handles the emotion of anger really well, stemming from fear. It’s very entertaining and funny. There are a couple of scenes that might scare really young children, but kids today need a bit of fear anyway. This movie skews towards a younger audience than your more adult-themed Pixar films, but it still delivers. The bar for Pixar movies is higher than other animated films, which might not be fair. Overall, HOPPERS is on the lower end of an already high bar for Pixar films, but it still delivers a good message with great laughs. It’s still a dam good movie. Remember, it’s hard to be mad when you’re part of something big.

Está película me encantó inesperadamente. No tenía tantas expectativas, pero la película mostró que Pixar puede seguir brindando nuevas películas muy buenas sin caer en lo cliché. Me gustó cómo manejaron la comedia con todo respecto a los animales, algunos momentos hilarantes como lo fue esa escena del oso atrapando al castor para comérselo, o incluso esa escena del tiburón. Uff! Sólo por esa escena le doy 10 estrellas. También me pareció bien el diseño de personajes con estilos únicos. Y contiene muchas referencias a otras películas de Pixar, como los collares de perro de "Up".
La película no es pesada y mantiene un buen ritmo para que no te aburres.
