Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: Disney/Pixar has a funny tale in ‘Hoppers’

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 6, 2026. This week debuts the first of two Disney/Pixar films due in 2026: "Hoppers", which is a very funny tale about a girl who uses an "Avatar"-like invention to try and convince the wildlife to come back to populate a pond. 

Streaming on Netflix, you can watch Alan Ritchson channel 80's Schwarzenegger, as he battles a Predator-like machine from another world in “War Machine.” And on Amazon Prime video, the best new series of the year is "Young Sherlock," which is produced (and a couple of episodes directed) by Guy Ritchie. Interesting mystery, lots of twists, an 1800's setting, and entertaining story and performances mean you won't want to miss this!

The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch” (taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment) and “What to Do” on the weekend minisodes, and two deep-dives episodes a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.

Based in the beautiful Beehive State, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.
