Pixar’s Hoppers Arrives on Disney+ on June 3

This move broadens access to Pixar’s most critically praised original in years for all Disney+ subscribers.

Overview

  • Pixar and Disney announced Thursday that Hoppers will begin streaming on Disney+ on Wednesday, June 3, following its March theatrical run.
  • The home rollout is staggered: the film has been available to buy digitally since April 28 and will be released on 4K UHD, Blu‑ray and DVD on June 2, one day before the Disney+ debut.
  • Hoppers, directed by Daniel Chong and written by Jesse Andrews, features Piper Curda as Mabel and a large ensemble that includes Jon Hamm, Bobby Moynihan and Meryl Streep.
  • Critics and audiences embraced the film, which holds roughly a mid‑90s Rotten Tomatoes rating and earned about $371 million worldwide, marking a strong non‑sequel performance for Pixar.
  • The Disney+ arrival could widen the film’s reach for families and casual viewers and will be watched closely as a sign of demand for original Pixar stories ahead of major releases like Toy Story 5.
