Pixar’s New Popcorn Bucket! See the First “Hoppers” Merch as Tickets Go on Sale. Tickets are officially on sale for Disney and Pixar’s latest movie, Hoppers, hitting theaters on March 6, 2026. Along with the ticket launch, Cinemark and AMC Theatres have given fans a first look at the popcorn buckets and movie tie-ins that will be available at the counter. The film follows a girl named Mabel who uses new tech to put her mind into a robotic beaver so she can talk to animals.
First Look at Hoppers Merch at Cinemark
Cinemark is leaning heavily into the beaver theme, featuring King George (voiced by Bobby Moynihan) on most of the items.
- Fun-Sized Combo ($9.95): This includes a yellow popcorn bucket pail and a matching cup. Both feature Mabel in her robotic beaver form along with Ellen Bear, Loaf, King George, and Tom Lizard.
- 16oz Tumbler ($16.95): This is the “filled” price. The tumbler is clear with a yellow tint and features the viral sensation Tom Lizard figure at the bottom and a Mabel topper on the lid.

AMC Theatres
AMC has also joined the fray with its own Hoppers Tom Lizard 3D popcorn bucket tin. Their gear leans into the film’s vibrant green and yellow color palette, with a heavy focus on the “Amphibian King” frog character.
- Lizard-Print Popcorn Bucket: AMC is offering a black bucket tin covered in a bright green gecko lizard pattern. The standout feature is a 3D green Tom Lizard figure that appears to be “climbing” up the side of the bucket.
- Collectible Cup & Toppers: Their themed cup features the full animal kingdom cast. Fans can also collect individual character toppers, including King George and Mabel’s beaver form, and Tom Lizard.
- Dolby Cinema Exclusive: For those seeing the film on March 7 in Dolby Cinema at AMC, there is a special promotion for a “mystery character keychain” while supplies last.
More Buckets Expected Soon
While Cinemark and AMC Theatres are the first to blink, they likely won’t be the last. Movie fans have seen a huge surge in “collectible” popcorn buckets lately, and Pixar movies usually get the royal treatment. We expect other chains, such as Harkins, Marcus, and Regal, to announce their own exclusive designs closer to the March 6 release date. We expect a figurine popcorn bucket to be announced. The article will be updated when it is released.
Disney Hoppers
Directed by Daniel Chong, Hoppers features a pretty stacked voice cast, including Meryl Streep, Jon Hamm, and Dave Franco. The story centers on Mabel (Piper Curda) as she befriends a beaver named King George to save their habitat from Mayor Jerry Generazzo.
