We just got out of the theater after seeing Hoppers, the 30th film from Pixar Animation Studios!

In this brand-new adventure, scientists achieve an astonishing breakthrough: they discover how to “hop” human consciousness into incredibly lifelike robotic animals. Humans can temporarily transfer their minds into animal bodies, allowing them to walk, run, and most importantly, communicate with animals as animals. It’s a clever, classic Pixar concept: playful and imaginative on the surface, yet layered with deeper themes of empathy, connection, and experiencing the world from an entirely different perspective.

We can’t wait to share our first thoughts and reactions with you. What worked, what surprised us, and how this milestone 30th Pixar film stacks up against the studio’s remarkable legacy.
