Quotes Hopper : First rule of leadership: Everything is your fault. Crazy credits Filmed entirely on location. Alternate versions "A Bug's Life" was released theatrically in the widescreen aspect ratio of 2. User reviews Review. Top review. Funniest film in a long time. It has all the usual Disney components music, great range of characters, story, appeal , entwined with superb animation and the excellent voice talents of less well known actors as those in say "Antz" and "Price of Egypt".
The characters work really well, and have a strong appeal, and the humour is aimed at a wide level which overcomes generational barriers. The movie is also presented in superb cinemascope format, which adds to the cinema experience.
Call me crazy, but I have seen the film three times, and I intend on taking more friends to see it this weekend. Many skeptics have seen this film on my recommendation and not been disappointed. I work in a multiplex, and I can honestly say that no-one has ever walked out of this movie without a sense of satisfaction. See it, and don't be put off because it is animated. You are sure to enjoy this movie, and make sure you stay for the end credits!
The bloopers and out-takes at the end are the funniest part of the film, which is packed with laughs throughout. Ahmad-4 Dec 23, FAQ 1. Any recommendations for other movies by Pixar Animation Studios?
Details Edit. Upset at Flik's deception, Atta orders him exiled from the colony, while the other ants hide the bird to pretend it never happened and rush to collect whatever food they can for Hopper.
They are unable to meet the double quota he set, and when the gang arrives, Hopper takes over the anthill and forces the ants to bring him all the food on the island. While Dot leads The Blueberries to their hidden clubhouse for safety, she overhears the gang's plans to kill the Queen once they have all the food, and after a tangle with Thumper, she sprouts her wings and catches up with Flik and the troupe.
She persuades them to return and put the bird plan into action, with help from her and the rest of The Blueberry scouts. However, Flik is entirely discouraged and says the colony was right about him.
He is shaken out of this doubt when Dot reminds him of his seed to tree metaphor. Back at the island, Flik instructs the troupe to distract the grasshoppers with a show while he and the blueberries climb up to the bird. Manny the magnificent and his lovely assistant, Gypsy put on a magic act to sneak the queen away so she wouldn't be there to get squished by Hopper.
Then, the bird launches from out of the tree, supported by a cable- and swoops over the bunch, causing panic as the ants and Circus Bugs create fake wounds with berry juice.
The plan goes greatly until P. Enraged at Flik's attempt to fight back, Hopper sends Thumper to beat him and talks down to the ants. Flik manages to stand up and rally the other ants, saying that the grasshoppers depend on the extorted food for their own survival. The entire colony swarms against the gang, forcing all except Hopper to leave. They shove him into a circus cannon to shoot him away, but the rains arrive and cause the ants to retreat into the anthill.
Hopper shoots himself out of the cannon, grabs Flik, and flies off, intent on killing him. Atta rescues Flik and the two lure Hopper towards the bird's nest. Hopper corners Flik and starts strangling him, revealing his intention of returning to the colony with more grasshoppers. Flik is saved when the bird appears, picks up Hopper and feeds him to her baby chicks. The following Spring, the colony adopts Flik's harvester to speed up grain collection. Atta becomes the new queen, passes the princess crown to Dot, and chooses Flik as her mate.
As the troupe leaves, Slim notices that they've forgotten Heimlich, who emerges from the chrysalis in which he has encased himself. He pops out with a tiny pair of butterfly wings, far too small to lift him off the ground, but he's picked up by Francis and Manny. Kevin Spacey agreed to play the villain, Hopper, after meeting Lasseter at the Oscars in , and mercifully, his character looks nothing like him.
This approach also allows for lovely touches such as Stanton, rather than a star whose name the grown-ups will recognise, voicing the German-accented caterpillar Heimlich. All of that aside, Allen remains a fundamentally odd choice of cinematic reference here. Although the script comprised uncredited rewrites by the star, it was co-written by Paul Weitz, Chris Weitz, and Todd Alcott, and apes his style as seen in earlier movies. Everything goes through this kind of brutal process in storyboarding, animatics, back to script and you go through that over and over and over again […] It was sort of a high-pressure, high-intensity environment.
More than just a riff on Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven , the story of an innovative worker ant unwittingly bringing a circus troupe to help him fight off greedy grasshoppers evolved into something distinct from its inspiration. The circus bugs were made more sympathetic as the script went through different drafts, building upon the familiar arc with more of a Three Amigos angle. The spoof of end-credit outtake reels is a fun button on the film too.
Neither film is remembered the best from their respective studios, but both are pivotal in their respective early stages. Both films do the things that each studio became known for. In hindsight, it was better for Antz that it went first. One of those circle of life kind of things. Skip Navigation Disney. Disney News D23 Live Shows. Alex Guttman. Related Articles.
