Ahead of Hoppers, a look at Pixar films that beautifully explored belonging, friendship and finding one’s place in the world!

Disney Pixar's epic new adventure, Hoppers, set in the animal world, is set to hit the big screen on March 6, 2026. The upcoming original feature film offers a glimpse into a wildly imaginative and heartfelt adventure deep in the animal kingdom- where a young animal lover uses groundbreaking tech to 'hop' into robotic critters, discovering secrets, forging unlikely friendships, and learning what it really means to fit in. Pixar has time and again used animation to tell deeply human stories about belonging, friendship, identity, and finding one’s place in the world. With Hoppers promising its own fresh twist on connection and courage in a furry (and feathered!) world, it's the perfect moment to look back at the classics that tugged at our heartstrings and reminded us we're never truly alone.

Here’s a curated look at Pixar films that delivered powerful emotional messages far beyond entertainment:

Toy Story

Woody’s fear of being replaced and his evolving bond with Buzz Lightyear explore what it means to grow, adapt and accept change without losing your sense of self.

Finding Nemo

A heartfelt story about an overprotective father learning to trust his child and himself while celebrating friendship and resilience.

Up

A tender reminder that meaningful connections can arrive when you least expect them and that it’s never too late to open your heart again.

Inside Out

By personifying emotions, Inside Out beautifully normalises sadness and teaches that all feelings, be it joy, sadness, anger or anxiety, belong together.

Coco

A visually rich celebration of heritage and remembrance, Coco underscores the importance of staying connected to your roots.

Elemental

Elemental highlights the courage it takes to embrace who you are while finding connection in unexpected places.
