Major spoilers for Hoppers lie ahead, so read on at your own discretion.
Pixar’s latest film, Hoppers, just recently debuted amidst the 2026 movie schedule, and it certainly seems to be striking a chord with audiences. The environmentalism-centric film is getting rave reviews from critics and, in its opening weekend, it notched the best box office debut for an original animated film since 2017’s Coco. During my own screening, I enjoyed this funny and heartwarming flick. What I really appreciate, though, is the fact that this movie manages to subvert a cliché involving POC characters that I’ve long noticed.
