HOPPERS trailer – Pixar does AVATAR with cute animals… that’s literally it, but it looks really fun

You have to love when a movie acknowledges it’s literally the same plot as another movie. HOPPERS is the latest from Pixar, helmed by director/co-writer Daniel Chong and co-writer Jesse Andrews and featuring the voices of Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm. The plot involves putting a human mind into an animal allowing humans to communicate with all animals… and of course things go a little wacky – think James Cameron’s AVATAR, but with cute little animals. Check out the first trailer and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

HOPPERS hits theaters March 6, 2026
