Pixar’s Best Sequel Is Officially One of the Biggest Films on Streaming

After the disappointing commercial and critical performance of their last original idea, Elio, 2026 proved the perfect comeback for Pixar as they released Hoppers, a fresh family-friendly tale starring newcomer Piper Curda as an animal lover who uses technology to become a robotic beaver. Hoppers started the year off strong for Pixar, earning $388 million worldwide against a reported $150 million budget, and was called one of Pixar’s “funniest movies yet” in Ross Bonaime‘s review for Collider.
