Pixar's new movie Hoppers lands almost perfect Rotten Tomatoes score

"The animated original, which arrives in theaters March 6, follows 19-year-old environmentalist Mabel who "hops" into the mind of a beaver before attempting to help a colony save their habitat in a plot that has drawn comparisons to Avatar."

"Although that score may fluctuate as more reviews come in, it currently represents the best rating for a Pixar film in almost a decade since 2017's Coco. The first two Toy Story films both have a 100 percent rating on the site, while Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo, Inside Out and Up all scored 98 percent."

"It is the first of two Pixar films slated to be released this year, with Toy Story 5 set to follow in June. In recent years, the animation studio has balanced original stories such as Luca, Elemental and Elio with sequels and spin-offs, including Lightyear and Inside Out 2."
