Pixar’s “Hoppers” Digital/4K/Blu-Ray/DVD Release Details Announced

Disney has announced details on the home video release of Pixar’s latest animated film, “Hoppers”, which is coming soon to digital platforms and physical media formats later this year.

Disney and Pixar’s renowned storytelling legacy takes a wildly fun and raucous new direction into the animal kingdom, seen through the eyes of the precocious Mabel, a compassionate human who hops her consciousness into a robotic beaver. In her technologically-enhanced quest to stop the destruction of a precious glade, Mabel encounters critters of all shapes and breeds, ranging from fellow beavers to bears to reptiles to birds to insects to fish…and even an unexpected shark. Mabel’s mammalian-mobilised mission to save the beautifully tranquil glade is a heartfelt yet ferociously funny adventure into what it means to be “part of something” – community, nature, family – a lesson to be learned by all species.

“Hoppers” will be released on digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home on April 28th 2026 and also on physical media formats including 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on June 2nd 2026.  

As with any major new movie release, Disney generally releases its movies through “windows”, going from theatrical, to digital, to home video and then onto streaming platforms such as Hulu and Disney+.  Usually, new movies arrive on Disney+ around 100 days after the theatrical release, which is around the same time as the physical media release date, so “Hoppers” would likely drop onto Disney+ in June, but Disney won’t confirm this until much nearer the date, in order to maximise digital and physical sales. 

The home video release will include exclusive bonus content, sharing the filmmakers’ visit to Yellowstone National Park for wildlife studies; the artistic efforts that created the animal’s Superlodge; plus recording booth fun, deleted scenes, and insight into Pixar’s Easter Eggs.
