Tom Lizard is a major supporting character in the 2026Disney•Pixar animated feature film Hoppers. He is a green lizard who meets and befriends animal lover Mabel Tanaka.
“Though Tom Lizard prefers to avoid drama at all costs and rise above the fray, his insatiable curiosity typically puts him in the middle of it. Tom may be a little green reptile, but he’s got some big animal friends who have his back.”
―Hoppers Press Kit
Physical appearance
Like most lizards, Tom has sea green scales and skin. He also has black wall eyes that tend to drift apart (small beady black eyes in a human's perspective).
Trivia
In Elio, Tom appears as one of the photos on the Voyager Golden Record.
Additionally, the film's short teaser was shown after the credits of Elio in theaters, which featured him spamming the lizard emoji on a cellphone repeatedly. The clip then went viral on Instagram and TikTok.
Due to this, a mascot of Tom Lizard was used in several appearances surrounding Hoppers, including special screenings, promotional events, and televised appearances in affiliated networks such as "photobombing" ESPN's coverage of Super Bowl LX.
Tom shares his name his voice actor, Tom Law, and was more than likely named after him.
Tom was added as a playable outfit in 2017 game Fortnite to promote Hoppers.
Ironically, both this and Fortnite was a part of internet memes.
