Oscar’s, Hoppers, and Pixar’s Boy Club Problem - Renegade Animation #215

April 05, 2026 by Michael Kaye in Animation, Renegade Animation

In this episode, Captain Kaye, the Animation Guru, and the Crazy Lemur comment on the results of the 98th Academy Awards, review Pixar's latest feature film Hoppers, and have an honest discussion regarding the culture behind the scenes at the acclaimed animation studio!

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-hosts, the Animation Guru, and everyone’s favorite Crazy Lemur, Bri! One of the few upsides of the Oscars being held so late into the new year is that it does allow us time to reflect on how much healthier things seem to be now in terms of animation on the big screen compared to where we were a year ago. We’ve reached the end of the first quarter, and already we’ve seen two very good original animated features released by major studios. last month we discussed Sony Pictures Animation’s Goat, while today’s main topic revolves around Pixar’s Hoppers. There is a lot of ground to cover in this episode, so without further ado, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion!



That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us! We now have a twitch channel, you can follow us at https://www.twitch.tv/Renegadepopculture!
