I really like this movie. It's cute, adorable, sweet and fun-loving with lots of comedy aimed at young viewers. Don't get me wrong, this movie can be enjoyed by adults, such as me. I was a child when I first saw this movie and now as an adult, I still really enjoy it.

In this movie, we step into the world of bug's and see how they live. It's so cool. Every year, a bunch of mean grasshoppers comes to the anthill, our main characters, and eat what food they have collected. How rude is that? Anyway, one day, when preparing the food, Flik, accidentally drops some of the food and now the ants don't have enough for themselves and the grasshoppers. The grasshoppers give the ants one more chance to get the food, so Flik sets off to find bugs that are willing to help them stop the grasshoppers reign of terror, once and for all.

Fun Fact: Robert De Niro turned down the role of Hopper.

Overall, I give this episode a 7 out of 10.

Although consistently entertaining, A Bug's Life fails to deliver on all accounts, by feeling more formulaic overall than its own interesting concepts sprinkled throughout. The film can be very humorous at times, but can also vary on the border of being overly-goofy and in result, some jokes do fall quite flat. The animation, although not as great as its work shortly before, is quite good and full of vibrant color, which makes it very easy on the eyes. The music in the film is really good, with Randy Newman providing a stellar soundtrack, as he always does. The voice work is fairly impressive, with the circus bugs taking the lead in terms of voice work and in character development. The circus bugs are often the best part of the film, and their humor seems rather genuine and their story very engaging, unlike some tropes used earlier with the ants themselves. However, the ant Dot in the film can prove to be quite an adorable change of pace throughout, and stole the show in every scene she was in. In the end, A Bug's Life is far from Pixar's greatest work, but is a mildly enjoyable time. It has a wonderful cast of supporting characters, and is full of vibrant colors, and a score that is very easy to listen to. My Rating: 8.75/10

This isn't a great film, but it does stand above the crowd of the many computer generated films. The quality of the film from start to finish is excellent and as far as insect films go, it's a lot better than ANTZ because it's much more family friendly and endearing. ANTZ was often rather dark in tone and also featured some very inappropriate voices for a kids' film. Whose bright idea was it to have Woody Allen do the main voice in a film where you would be creeped out if you actually saw him in the audience?! Would you let your kids sit next to him during the show? I would hope not, unless your kids are teens and looking to replace Soon-Yi.

My overall impression of A BUG'S LIFE is that it is squarely marketed to kids and the studio threw in a few bits and pieces here and there for the parents. As a result, if your kids want to watch it with you, you won't be bored. However, if you don't have kids, I really doubt if there's enough here to merit your watching it--though it still is a lovely and well-made film.
