This website is dedicated to providing resources and important information in regards to Titus from the Pixar film Hoppers.Since there are spoilers, we encourage all to watch the movie before proceeding further.



Titus is a female monarch butterfly and the main antagonist of Pixar's 30th full-length animated feature film Hoppers.Starting off as a monarch caterpillar, she is the spoiled, bloodthirsty, and bratty daughter of the Insect Queen. After her mother's death, she becomes the next Insect Queen and pupates herself into a butterfly, only to later disguise herself as a male robot clone of Mayor Jerry, the greedy corrupt mayor of Beaverton. She orchestrates a genocidal revolution to eliminate humans and eventually all vertebrates with intent to create a world where insects reign supreme over all other species, only to fail in the end due to her death at the hands of the Amphibian King.As a monarch caterpillar, she is voiced by Eman Abdul-Razzak, a lighting artist who works as the lighting technical director at Pixar Animation Studios, in her debut role. In Japanese, she is voiced by Ikue Otani, best known for her role as Pikachu in Pokémon. In Korean, she is voiced by Lee Su-ji, who also voices the Insect Queen in the same dub. In Spanish, she is voiced by Elian Garcés, best known for his role as young Fizzarolli in the Spanish dub for Hazbin Hotel.After she completes pupation, she is mainly seen in her robot form, receiving little screentime in her actual monarch butterfly form. In this form, she is voiced by Dave Franco, best known for his roles as Eric Molson in 21 Jump Street, Jack Wilder in Now You See Me, Pete Seeger in Warm Bodies, Pete Grayson in Neighbors, and Greg Sestero in The Disaster Artist. In Japanese, she is voiced by Junya Hirano, best known for his roles as Angel Dust and Egg Boiz in the Japanese dub for Hazbin Hotel. In Korean, she is voiced by Hyun Lee, best known for his role as Hector in the Korean dub for Coco. In Spanish, she is voiced by Carlo Vázquez Díaz, best known for his role as Gwi-Ma in the Spanish dub for KPop Demon Hunters. All these actors mainly voice her robot form, as she is rarely seen in her butterfly form. While they do voice her butterfly form, this is mainly out of convenience, as she almost immediately either regains consciousness as the robot or falls to her death.



When Mayor Jerry Generazzo, enraged by the animals' renewed resistance, blows up the beavers' dam and installs additional noise-emitting speakers on trees to drive them away, Mabel Tanaka, a 19-year-old Japanese-American student at Beaverton University, hops her mind into an orange beaver Hopper robot, and together with King George, the Mammal King, they convene a meeting with the Animal Council in the Superlodge, attended by delegates from various species, consisting of the Insect, Amphibian, Fish, Reptile and Bird monarchs. Amongst the attendees also includes the Insect Queen's bratty and spoiled daughter Titus, a female monarch caterpillar who is projected to be heir.While initially the monarchs are hesitant to follow with George and Mabel's plans to take actions against Jerry's plans, Mabel criticizes them for their ignorance and warns them about the noise-making trees and how this would mean their land is at risk of being taken over by Jerry, whom she refers to as the Human King. Titus initially taunts Mabel, calling her a "web-footed commoner" but Insect Queen intervenes and allows Mabel to continue. Mabel urges the council and animals to protect their homes, leading the Insect Queen to propose a solution to "squish" Jerry, implying his extermination and death. Mabel and George reconsider this violent approach, telling the Insect Queen to reconsider her decisions, only for Titus to find amusement in the chaos. This leads to Mabel accidentally killing the Insect Queen, leaving Titus in shock of her mother's death.Following these events, the Animal Council are at a loss of words and discover a robotic arm belonging to one of the Hoppers, suspecting that humans are now masquerading as animals. Overcome with grief, Titus demands silence, insisting on respect for her mother. The Council send condolences for her mother's loss, only for moments later for Titus' sorrow to become laughter and for her to steal her mother's crown and become the next Insect Monarch, revealing it is a role she has long awaited. She declares herself "Insect King" rather than "Insect Queen", which the other monarchs are hesitant in hailing her as, but they hail her anyway. As the "Insect King", with newfound determination over the Hopper technology she resolves it to use it as an attack against Jerry and the human race. It is heavily implied that the reason she declares herself King because of Jerry's perception to them as the "Human King", and with her determination of the Hopper technology, these important clues point out her plans to later impersonate as Jerry through a reversed version of Hopper technology. But before she does all that, she undergoes a metamorphosis into a monarch butterfly, demanding the other monarchs to witness her transformation, only to elicit disgust as she weaves her cocoon.As she remains nestled in her cocoon, the Council orders Diane, a shark to help eliminate Jerry, only to be thwarted by Mabel, George, and their friends. Sam, Nisha, and Conner drive up beside in attempts to get Mabel back into her human form. Jerry remains firm in his decision, leading Mabel to call the animals to come get Jerry. Mabel is untethered from the beaver robot and back to her human form. The council raids Sam's lab, leading Jerry and Mabel to be tied up. The council forces the scientists to build a robotic clone of Jerry for Titus to inhabit. There, Titus emerges from her cocoon, now a monarch butterfly, only to transfer her conscience onto the robot. As the fake robot, she reintroduces herself by eating a leaf, leading Mabel to remember she was indeed Titus, scaring Jerry leading him to be horrified. She struggles with the Jerry disguise as shown when she awkwardly falls several times and when she removes her tie, being disgusted by it claiming true kings show off their "plumage", showing the body hairs of the robot. All of that reveals her struggles with disguising herself as a man, remiscent amongst female characters in their first instances when disguising. This and she herself reveals her ultimate plan: to masquerade as Jerry at the political rally where she will program all the noise-emitting speakers to release frequencies that can be fatal to human brains, thus killing all the humans in attendance and allowing Titus and the animals to rise up. Mabel, horrified, reveals not all humans are like Jerry, only to highlight Mabel's "deceit" and her "using" George. Titus then rallys the Council and a reluctant George away from the lab.Posing as Jerry at the rally, Titus gathers the citizens together and gives an uncomfortable speech, asking if anyone has squished an insect. Much to her surprise, nearly everyone has responded that they have, which struck a nerve in Titus as she bout to activate the speakers by using Jerry's phone that she stole. Meanwhile, Mabel, who had escaped with Jerry's assistance, interrupts with the rally with hope Titus can redeem herself and stop killing humans. Mabel apologizes to Titus for accidentally killing her mother, only for Titus to dismiss her apology and claim her mother was old and weak. Mabel then confronts Titus back, telling her she did, in fact, love her mother, and acknowledging that both of them had felt powerless at times, leading to impulsive decisions, insisting that it is never too late for change, emphasizing that humans and animals could coexist peacefully, quoting George's belief that human and animal homes are part of the same environment. Titus breaks into tears, only to burst into maniacal laughter as she mocks Mabel, making it clear she has no intention to back down on her plan.She learns too late of Mabel's backup plan to severe Titus' connection to the Jerry robot, prompting her to return her conscience to her original butterfly form, while she attempts to seize the phone Titus stole from Jerry. As she jumps back into the Jerry robot, they have a tug-of-war over the phone, leading the phone to fall on top of one of the trees, leading Titus to climb the tree and get Jerry's phone back. As she crawls like an animal, this leads the citizens to realize this is not the real Jerry. When the real Jerry intervenes by using Hopper technology to become a beaver like Mabel did before, Titus destroys the robotic beaver. Titus continues crawling, only for Mabel to stop her, allowing the silicon mask to come off. While Titus successfully grabs Jerry's phone, she fails to unlock the phone due to it not being able to recognize the face, realizing that the silicon mask was gone.Mabel tells Titus her plan is falling apart, but Titus angrily refuses to back down, revealing yet again her true intentions: to not only eliminate all humans but also the other animals as well, so that the insects themselves can take control of the world as their own hive. Unbeknownst to Titus, the Animal Council in horror overhears and realizes Titus' plans and that she was merely using them as patsies to orchestrate her schemes. When the tree gets toppled, the Jerry robot is destroyed and Titus returns to her butterfly form, causing a massive wildfire that will threaten to destroy both Beaverton and the forest.George rushes to help extinguish the flames, telling the Council to reflect on their indecision on whether to take action or remain passive. As they grapple with their choice, Titus, as she returns, foolishly, with no concern over the gravity of actions, reveals her ambition to lead the insect race to glory, questioning their audacity to ignore her, only for the Amphibian King, one of the council members, to have enough of Titus' maniacal behavior, and eat her alive, leading to her deserved death.After her death, the crown that the Amphibian King devours as he eats Titus alive, is then transferred with his tongue to one of the ants, crowning her as the new Insect Queen and new leader of the Animal Council. Following these events, even Jerry himself agrees to redirect the highway project to a different location that would leave the forest as a wildlife preserve, much to Mabel, George, and all the animals' delight, with them rebuilding a new and improved glade without a beaver dam, and Dr. Sam has permanently discontinued the Hoppers program after recent events. Sam tells Mabel that she, Nisha, and Conner are moving on to other things now, showcasing a plan for an animal communication device. Mabel offers to work with them as she needs a job now, and they enthusiastically accept.



  • Despite being a female villain, she was marketed as the Insect Prince and Insect King and referred to with he/him pronouns in the Hoppers Press Kit. It is heavily implied to be false marketing and mainly used as foreshadowing for her robotic disguise as Mayor Jerry, given in the film, none of the characters referred to her as a prince. Though she was referred to as "Insect King" by George, this was mainly because she masqueraded as Jerry and she declared herself as King, which is heavily implied because of her plans for first said reason, indicating he may not have known Titus was female due to her presentation as a male robot, leading to the assumption the mastermind behind the robot was a male.

  • Prior to the film’s premiere, it was thought Mayor Jerry would be the main antagonist due to his greed and lack of care for the animals and their homes. This was actually a cover for the plot twist which revealed that Titus had bigger plans than Jerry does.

  • Titus is often classified as Pure Evil due to her lack of redeeming qualities, as she did not care for her mother's death and refused to back down on her evil plans. This makes her the first Pixar main antagonist from the 2020s to be classified as such, as previous villains classified as Pure Evil came from previous years: One-Eyed Bart (Toy Story) and Thumper (A Bug's Life) came from the 1990s, Randall Boggs (Monsters, Inc.) and Syndrome (The Incredibles) originated in the 2000s, and Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear (Toy Story 3), Sir Miles Axlerod (Cars 2), and Professor Zündapp (Cars 2) were from the 2010s.

  • Despite spending a significant amount of time as a male robot, she still remarkably holds the record for being the first female Pixar main antagonist to be classified as Pure Evil.

  • She is the eighth Pixar main antagonist to not be a twist villain and be revealed early on as a villain after Hopper (A Bug's Life), Randall Boggs (Monsters, Inc.), Syndrome (The Incredibles), Chef Skinner (Ratatouille), Professor Zündapp (Cars 2), Mor'du (Brave), and Lord Grigon (Elio), and the first of that category to be a female.

  • She is the sixth Pixar main antagonist to die after Hopper (A Bug's Life), Syndrome (The Incredibles), Charles Muntz (Up), Mor'du (Brave), and Ernesto de la Cruz (Coco) (who died twice), and the first of that category to be a female.

  • She is the second Pixar main villain to be small and of short stature after Chef Skinner (Ratatouille).

  • She is an insect, while Chef Skinner is a small man. This could mean that she is much smaller than Chef Skinner. This makes her the smallest villain ever created by Pixar, largely due to her microscopic size.

  • She is the sixth female Pixar main antagonist, after Screenslaver/Evelyn Deavor (Incredibles 2), Gabby Gabby (Toy Story 4), Terry (Soul), Ming Lee (Turning Red), and Anxiety (Inside Out 2).

  • She is the third female Pixar main antagonist that is a villain, following Screenslaver and Gabby Gabby.

  • Counting that Lilypad (Toy Story 5) was announced earlier than Titus, she would have been the seventh female Pixar main antagonist.

  • Despite being a female villain, she shares similarities with several male Pixar characters:

  • Hopper (A Bug's Life): Both villains are xenophobic tyrants of a species of anthropomorphic insects (grasshoppers for Hopper; insects population for Titus) who hate a heroic species where the main protagonist belongs (ants for Hopper; humans for Titus), possess a family link (Hopper has Molt as a brother and their late mother; Titus has the Insect Queen as a mother), and were devoured to death as defeat by a non-insectoid animal (Hopper was fed by the chicks taken by the bird; Titus is devoured by the Amphibian King by his tongue). The main difference is that while Titus is female and did not care for her mother, The only difference is that Hopper loved and respected his mother.

  • Heimlich (A Bug's Life:) Both are plump caterpillars, but there is a difference between these two characters. Heimlich is a heroic male caterpillar of a dimwitted nature who struggles to transform into a butterfly at the end of the film, while Titus is a villainous female caterpillar with great intelligence who manages to successfully transform into a butterfly after usurping her mother's place following the accidental death of the Insect Queen caused by Mabel.

  • King George (Hoppers): She and King George are the only members of the Animal Council to have their names revealed.

  • Glordon (Elio): Her design as a caterpillar is similar to Glordon, who also is a prince/princess, but ironically, his personality is the complete opposite to Titus.

  • Titus' name means "honorable", which is ironic given her actions in the movie were the complete opposite, indicating that her character as a whole has always been dishonorable. And if it cannot get even more ironic, Titus is a male name, despite Titus being a female insect, making this even more ironic.

  • Titus' goals to wipe out humanity and vertebrates so arthropods, including insects and other invertebrates, can take over the world and the animal kingdom mirrors how invertebrates make up the majority of ninety-five percent of the animal kingdom, with arthropods as the largest invertebrate phylum and insects as the largest invertebrate class while vertebrates only make up the minority of five percent of the animal kingdom in real life. This is considered accurate as invertebrates evolved before vertebrates due to high production rates, small size, and adaptation to every ecological niche.

  • However, in a realistic manner, her goals would have been impossible to achieve time-wise as monarch butterflies only have a lifespan of six weeks, which is nowhere near enough time to commit mass genocide, meaning Titus would have died of old age before she was even close to achieving her goal. Seeing as she pupated in less than two days, however, it's possible that she and her mother don't follow the conventional life cycle of their species and she could've lived to see it fulfilled.

  • In real life, monarch butterflies are inherently poisonous to several species if they are ever to be consumed by them. This could be a reflection of Titus' "toxic" behavior, as she often displays an incredibly controlling, sadistic and apathetic personality.

  • Titus dies when the Amphibian King eats her, meaning in real life, he would've likely gotten really sick or vomited her remains (which of course would’ve happened offscreen).

  • According to a press interview with Dave Franco, she was originally meant to do the spider walk from The Exorcist when in the Jerry robot. This was cut, however, as filmmakers decided that all of the Jerry robot's movements beforehand were creepy enough.

  • Many fans considered her the first truly evil Pixar villain since Ernesto de la Cruz.
