"Hoppers" Disney/Pixar out today

[Derek Lee]

What if you could talk to animals and understand what they're saying? In Disney and Pixar's all-new feature film "Hoppers," scientists have discovered how to "hop" human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals! The adventure introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use the technology, uncovering mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined.

Getting rave reviews so far

This was the most satisfied I felt with a Pixar film in a long time. Probably since Soul. Most fun since Turning Red. I still don't know how I feel about this animation style, but I do know that it worked here.

Spoiler

Meryl Streep getting squashed took me completely by surprise. That shyt had the entire theater rolling.

Lots of laughs, but the flick gets unnerving, too. That whole sequence with Titus coc00ning felt like an ode to the Cronenberg body horror of the yesteryears. I like when Pixar gets bold like that.

saw this with my nephews. was a lot better than i thought it was gonna be. i really liked mabels back and forth with the mayor. when titus was transforming into a butterfly would have him looking like heimlich from a bugs life, instead he looked like his mom, which was kinda wasted effort to me.

Pixar finally decided to go back to its roots and take a chance. I went on the strength of double toasteds review. Took my nieces and nephew. It was a such a roller-coaster of a film. It gave open season, over the hedge setting type of feel. Meets invasion of the body snatchers, the arrival, jaws and the birds type of horror. Movie was so intense at times i couldn't believe this was a Disney movie. It was a fun movie. Main character mabel definitely grew on me. But the beaver king is my dawg. By far my favorite. 9/10.

Decent movie. Mabel turned me off the minute she went on a brother at the beginning. The movie tried too hard to hit the "Wild Robot" high notes with animal kingdom. Some stuff felt like a repeat of Wild Robot. Just didn't work. The weirdness and sci-fi horror stuff was cool. But the voice actors didnt stand out to me enough. I sure it will get a sequel.

Saw this movie a couple of days back. It's an enjoyable movie.

What's the message here?

1) Busy body female that cares more about animals than people manipulates everything around her to get what she wants...

And apparently she was wrong to stop animals from suffering....

2) We should stop the dispossessed from getting their land back

3) the second the downtrodden get some agency we have to stop them, coopt their movement?

4) All Revolutionary leaders will turn against their followers?

5) We should care about the burning of the colonizer's homes?

6) We should destroy our own homes to save those of the oppressor?

7) In the end the animals lose everything. Token repairs not withstanding.

8) And at the end of it all, she's rewarded for destroying everyone and everything around her.

This is what they're teaching the children is America? Of the world?

I just finished watching this digitally. A solid movie. Funnier than I thought it would be as well.
