I'm not really into these Pixar movies, but this one is pretty cute. My favorite part of this movie is David Hyde Pierce playing the Stick Bug. His scenes (alas, far and few between) are hilarious!

Story long forgotten, the simple joy not. Is this the one where he plays chess w/ himself before it starts? That's a film unto itself.

Great score by Randy Newman.

Pixar’s second animated feature film, “A Bug’s Life” is a funny and cute story that both kids and adults can enjoy!

More humorous and directed at kids more than Antz. Has this underlying message/lesson: the powerful rely on the masses for support. Don’t let them oppress you.

Yes, this movie came out a month after Antz. Yes, they both are about ants. The designs are significantly different and the humor, while not nearly as mature, is still pretty solid. Kevin Spacey is great as Hopper.

A fun film full of laughs and adventure! Every time I go back to this, I'm amazed by the detail and imagination. I'm always impressed by Pixar.

This will always be one of my favorites. It's just as good as I remember!

A great film and a great introduction to the concept of community, teamwork, and standing up to bullies.

A Bug’s Life is a very cute and creative movie. The characters are all very sweet and likeable, and make this movie funny and light-hearted. I liked the sense of adventure, and thought that the storyline was very unique from other Disney films. There are many imaginative aspects to this movie, but I liked how Disney related it to our earth, which makes it seem more realistic and personal. Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie to other viewers, as it is fun, eventful, engaging, and very enjoyable. I think that this film is probably geared towards younger audiences, but it can still be entertaining for all ages, which makes it a great family movie! @PenelopeScriptor of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library

A Bug’s Life was released in 1998 and directed by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton. Dave Foley voices Flik, an inventive ant who always seems to be finding a way to get himself and his colony in trouble. When Flik accidentally destroys the food being stored as payment towards grasshopper Hopper (voiced by Kevin Spacey), the ants in the colony are threatened that unless they gather double the food they will face the consequences. Flik goes on a mission to assemble a band of fighters who are willing to defend the colony. This animated fantasy adventure film is a classic amongst children and excellent for any family.

Every year, ants have to give some food to grasshoppers as a tribute, almost like they’re some sort of higher beings. The grasshoppers act superior to the ants and always try to coerce them into this tribute-like thing. However, this time the offering is destroyed, and they have nothing to give the grasshoppers. Luckily, the grasshoppers give them a second chance, but an ant named Flik goes to find someone who can stand up to the grasshoppers. He finds a group of bugs, but they’re not exactly what everyone may have been expecting. Somehow the ants must find a way to either appease the grasshoppers or defeat them before it’s too late.

Oh, this is one of my favourite movies from when I was a kid and there is a really good reason for that. Even my dad always sat down and watched A Bug’s Life with me because it was like a magnet pulling you towards it. It’s so smart how they decided to make a movie from the perspective of a bug, specifically an ant which is so small. We’ve seen books like “Hey Little Ant” but A Bug’s Life takes this little ant on an adventure and provides a really nice view on the lives of bugs. This movie was funny, somewhat realistic in some aspects (concerning the villains) and truly enjoyable. There was a nice message, like standing up for what you know is right (Flik standing up to the grasshoppers) and always finding unique a good thing. I definitely recommend this movie for a family movie night! 5/5
