Hoppers

Right now you can watch Hoppers in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 1,949 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Piper Curda is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Hoppers is worth clearing space for. Hoppers does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Scientists have discovered how to 'hop' human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals. Animal lover Mabel seizes an opportunity to use the technology, uncovering mysteries within the animal world beyond anything she could have imagined. Piper Curda and Bobby Moynihan lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It hit screens in 2026. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Hoppers holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Hoppers is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Piper Curda anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
