Hoppers - MOVIE REVIEW

PIXAR is back! Hoppers is the latest original animated effort from the studio and is looking to be (fingers crossed) their first original hit in quite a while. Now, to be fair, Elemental did have great legs and went on to make over half a billion dollars... but even that had a really slow start opening weekend. It continued on and made money becuase it was well received, and I think a similar effect will work on Hoppers even though it's already opening bigger. I have loved Pixar since I was a kid; like so many Gen-Z'ers, so many of their movies mean so much to me and I'm always ready for Pixar to shatter my soul & piece it back together all in a 100-minute family film. Does Hoppers alos stand as their best original work of the 2020s?
