Both companies deserve credit for pushing the visual envelope with their character designs and for helping to usher in an age in which animated films can be taken seriously in the western world. The story has its problems and its lulls, but it's a surprisingly brisk and funny watch even all these years later.Īs a general rule, I have always preferred PIXAR's output to that of Dreamworks. The way bugs use things for their tools and survive their world is just fun to watch. The movie's world is also just damn creative. Our villain Hopper actually doesn't even get that much screen-time, but he commands a presence, and his seed monologue is so good it's earned its resurgence in modern protests.
All the characters are unique and memorable from the moment they're put on screen, and you really want to spend time with them.

Sure there's a bit of a sophomore slump after the gamechanger that was Toy Story, and I loathe the liar revealed trope that this movie takes too much time with, but it wins with its creativity and characters. Watching it again, it surprisingly holds up really well. I liked it well enough as a kid, but I always looked back on it as one of the "bad" Pixar movies (even though I will maintain a bad Pixar movie is still an overall good movie). When he meets a band of high-flying circus insects, he thinks he's found his salvation.įor a long time I considered A Bugs Life one of the lesser Pixar movies. To avert disaster, Flik goes on a journey to recruit fighters to defend the colony. Now the strong-arming insect is demanding that the ants gather double the food - or face annihilation. His latest mishap was destroying the food stores that were supposed to be used to pay off grasshopper Hopper (Kevin Spacey). Flik (Dave Foley) is an inventive ant who's always messing things up for his colony.
