A Bug's Life (1998)
Directors: John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton (co-director)
Voice Actors: Kevin Spacey, Dave Foley, Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Studio: Pixar
I like bugs! I do
Well, most of them anyway. They're so interesting and come in so many different shapes and colors and do all sorts of fascinating things that it's like they have their own little universe all to themselves. And that's what the movie meant to me...a chance to see these bugs doing their own thing. I loved the bug city and the bug circus show was cool, but mostly I liked the bug bar in the photo above. I got a kick out of how the bugs reacted to each other as it was based on their actual behaviors.
World Building: 4/5 As mentioned I enjoyed the bug city, circus and bar...I wish we would have seen more of the inside going-ons of the ant nest.
Animation: 3/5 I kind of wanted the ants to have six appendages, but oh well.
Character Development: 3/5 Not much in the character development part.
Story Premise:4/5 Decent but nothing amazing in the plot.
Originality: 3.5/5I don't know if this or Antz came out first, but I'd still say this was original enough for me.
Other Thoughts: I didn't care much for the baby princess ant, but oh well I'm sure that was done with kids in mind so I can't complain all that much.
Favorite Moments: The voice actors! Totally cool that they used Phyllis Diller and Johnathan Harris it was a joy to hear them! That was my favorite part.

'A misfit ant, looking for "warriors" to save his colony from greedy grasshoppers, recruits a group of bugs that turn out to be an inept circus troupe.'
