Editorial Reviews

A Bug's Life, produced by the same studio and creative team responsible for Toy Story, gleefully expands the nearly limitless boundaries of computer animation with innovative imagery and sophisticated storytelling techniques. The film's protagonist is Flik (voiced by Dave Foley), a brilliant but socially awkward ant who labors to free his colony from the tyranny of thuggish grasshoppers led by Hopper (Kevin Spacey). When one of Flik's labor-saving inventions backfires and scatters an offering of grain collected to mollify the grasshoppers, our hero enlists the aid of performing insects, who impersonate fearless warriors apparently eager to do battle with the green-skinned, multi-legged bullies. Witty scripting and peppy vocal performances go a long way toward delineating the characters, and the three-dimensional Pixar animation creates the illusion that they really exist. Their fluidity of movement, coupled with the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, facilitates the willing suspension of disbelief that will enable viewers of all ages to enjoy A Bug's Life.

Pixar's Worst Movieby bookin-it

November 17, 2009: ...is still better than most non-Pixar animated features. This is a high compliment. I only call it the worst if ranking Pixar movies in order from "good to greatest." So, A Bug's Life is definately a GOOD movie to watch!

August 23, 2009: On Blue Ray, the cartoons are gorgeous. The individual bugs are charmingly done. But who in heaven's name wants to see Aesop's and LaFontaine's charming beast fable recast as a Marxist parable, down to the Labor Theory of Value (for real!) and the Revolt of the Masses (assisted of course by a bunch of failed artistic/intellectual types)? Your children will grow up some day, and it might do to remember an old tag usually attributed to the Jesuits: "give me a child until he's 6 and you can have him until he's 60". What were the folks at Pixar thinking?
