Tom Lizard's on the Battle Bus! New "Hoppers" Cosmetics Arrive in Fortnite

“Fortnite, Fortnite, Fortnite, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday.” That’s the not-so-subtle tease Disney just dropped, and gamers and Disney fans alike are already buzzing about a certain lizard from Pixar’s Hoppers.

UPDATE (March 5th, 2026 5:45PM):

• This is not a drill! Tom Lizard has arrived in Fortnite!
• Announced by Pixar on their X account, Tom Lizard IRL can be seen hitting a DualSense PlayStation5 controller over and over again before going on a psychedelic journey from Fortnite and back, full of plenty of emojis and chaos.

• Checking out the Fortnite shop, Tom Lizard is headlining today's lineup as the main banner in the store.

• The five item bundle, which runs for 2,000 V-Bucks (around $17.98), including the Tom Lizard skin, the LEGO Fortnite Tom Lizard skin, the Mabel Plush back bling, the Text-to-Speech pickaxe, and the Lizard! emote.

What’s Happening:

• In a playful new video shared by Disney on social media, Tom Lizard from Pixar’s upcoming film Hoppers is seen enthusiastically pressing a button that repeatedly announces “Fortnite”, followed by a dramatic “Thursday” in his signature rapid-fire style. 
• The short clip is simple but effective. Months before the film’s debut, Tom Lizard was already winning fans with his chaotic charm.
• While details remain under wraps, one thing is clear: something silly and scaly is slithering into Fortnite this week.
• This begs the question: Will Tom Lizard appear as A roaming NPC on the Fortnite island? A sidekick companion or character skin available in the shop? Or maybe part of a larger Pixar-themed crossover event?
• Given Fortnite’s history of major entertainment collaborations, any of these options feels possible.
• Fortnite has built its brand on pop culture crossovers, welcoming characters from Marvel, Star Wars, anime franchises, and major film releases into its ever-evolving world. 
• For Pixar, the crossover would serve as savvy cross-promotion ahead of Hoppers’ theatrical rollout. For Fortnite, it’s another buzzy addition to its constantly refreshed ecosystem.
• And for fans, it’s a chance to hear “Lizard, lizard, lizard” echo across the island.
