I know this was only Pixar's second full-length movie, but after the height of Toy Story (their greatest film), A Bug's Life is, well, a bit unimpressive.

Honestly, average animation, the only original part of the movie it's that it is based in ants, not that animated ants didn't exist before this movie. But it's a perfect choice for children 2-5 to watch.

This is not my favorite Pixar movie, most characters are not interest, and unlikable. Some characters are decent, and it feels like this is made for little kids. I like Antz better.

Given the movie this followed from, this was set with incredibly high expectations that it just couldn't meet. And that's not to say that this is a bad movie at all.

And that's not to say that this is a bad movie at all. I just found it incredibly mediocre. The story doesn't feel original in any sense, and a lot of characters are unnecessary, but it's okay. It's not going to win any awards for best Pixar movie any day, but Flick is filled with charm, if a little bland. There's no argument that Toy Story is better, for pretty much anyone, and Pixar has definitely made much better after it. It just lacks the life and emotion that we expected from this company.… Expand

A Bug's Life is a very weak effort by Pixar, though it's not absolutely horrendous. It's juvenile and weak humor, as well as very very weak voice work. I personally think this movie sits below the widely maligned Cars 2 in the Pixar pantheon.

A Bug's Life

Pixar is covering another part of the world as an excuse of educating and entertaining the children whose pseudo effect is serving a compelling drama for adults. Or at least that's what it feels like. And this is their genius. Replacing the throne of Disney in this current generation, Pixar is actually has smart filmmakers and storytellers in its pocket. And carrying out the similar formulas used back in the old days in the name of fairy tales, the banner has pressed plenty of adorable animal friendly anecdotes to woo the younger audience in. And with baffling premises and witty strategies, they have stayed toe to toe with the social and filmmaking changes.

As in they have matured wisely for the hip and happening culture that they have wished to be a part of. Checking off another territory, this time the writer and director John Lasseter is focusing on a smaller and hard working kingdom. Ergo emerges his lead character, contradicting the nature and the world he revolves around, his laziness is smart and curiosity efficiently effective.

But as most of the game changers goes through, he is bogged down by the slow minded wrong doers and fear lovers and is cornered to go through a journey of rethinking and evaluation. But this is why I love these Pixar movies the most, even at its peak of necessary dramatic elements, they tend to carve a big piece of levity in the narration that is always attention grabbing and easily nuanced. But this goes unnoticed, usually because they are not afraid of using new almost-guest-alike characters introduced and surfed every now and then for a quality situational comedy and not just one liners. In A Bug's Life the most fascinating and thrilling scenario is their version of a city life, such metaphors come easy and a lot in this wonderful inspirational tale.… Expand

Troppi cliché narrativi già male invecchiati per l'epoca, e il protagonista mi ha messo un nervoso pazzesco, grazie allo stereotipo del genio incompreso per il quale avevano un ossessione negli anni 90. Oltre a quello, mi ha divertito quanto basta, e il terzo atto è assai soddisfacente. Nota ultrapositiva per Spacey nella parte del villain, era delizioso.

Consigliato? Sì.… Expand

I'm not really into a lot of kid movies. My daughter made me watch this with her. It was a ok movie. It was something different to see. I'd probably never watch it again unless of course my daughter wants me to again.

I just can’t find a movie enjoyable about insects. I also find the movie a little gross.
