'Hoppers' Is Easily One of Pixar's Funniest, Darkest, and Best Movies In Years

Latest There’s a moment about halfway through Hoppers when a character voiced by a very famous actor dies. I won’t say who, I won’t say how, and I won’t say why, but you’re watching a scene, everything’s going normally, and out of nowhere, Pow! They die. Then, for a beat, the whole movie stops as every character is as shocked, if not more so, than the audience. It was in that moment that I realized while a lot of recent Pixar movies have been good, Hoppers was great. It wasn’t afraid to take risks, be bold, or go places normal animated films would not. From there, things only get darker, weirder, and even at times scarier. But of course, this is also a Pixar movie, so those are merely some ingredients in a much larger recipe that gives you all the things you expect from the company behind Toy Story, Inside Out, and Finding Nemo, but with that little something extra.
