About this episode

The episode discusses the film Hoppers, highlighting its unique storytelling and the risks taken by Pixar.

On this bonus episode, we’re breaking down Hoppers, a weird, funny, and surprisingly unpredictable original that feels like a throwback to when Pixar wasn’t afraid to experiment. It’s not top-tier, but it’s exactly the kind of risk-taking, offbeat storytelling we’ve been missing. Is this the direction Pixar should be heading in? ____ Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetter Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/wwibpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_official X: https://x.com/WWIBpodcast Subscribe!
