A Bug's life

A Bug's life

A Bugs life is a 1998 American CGI film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution in the United States on November 25, 1998.

A Bug's Life was the second Disney·Pixar feature film and the third American computer-animated film after Toy Story and Antz.

It tells the tale of an oddball individualist inventor ant who hires what he thinks are "warrior bugs" — actually circus performers — to fight off a huge swarm of grasshoppers who have made the ant colony their servants.

The film was directed by John Lasseter and is also the last film appearances of Madeline Kahn and Roddy McDowall. The film is also notable as being the first Pixar film to have an entirely non-human cast. This is not surprising, however, as it is Pixar's second film, after Toy Story.

The story of A Bug's Life is a parody of Aesop's fable of The Ant and the Grasshopper. It is similar to the comedy Three Amigos which is about out-of-work actors defending a town while thinking they are merely giving a performance.

It also gives a nod to Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (as well as its Hollywood remake, The Magnificent Seven), which is about Japanese villagers hiring a group of swordsmen to fight off rampaging bandits.

The Plot

Every season, a colony of ants is expected to harvest food for a Mafia-like bunch of grasshoppers (or possibly just locusts that are referred to as grasshoppers). One ant Flik is an inventor whose creations usually do more harm than good.

While trying out a mechanical harvester, he drops his machine, and wound up, it knocks the pile of food into a stream just before the grasshoppers arrive.

Their leader, Hopper, gives the ants the rest of the season to make good on what they owe, but orders a double ration of food after Flik stands up to him in defense of the Queen's youngest daughter Dot. As a result of his bumbling,

Flik is admonished by the colony's royal council. When Flik suggests that he try to recruit some "warrior bugs" to fight the grasshoppers, Princess Atta (Dot's older sister and the eventual successor to the Queen) allows him to do so, but only to keep him out of the way.
