We're in Central Park, in a small colony of very sweet ants, unfortunately weakened by the drought and besieged by the evil gang of grasshoppers led by the villainous Hopper. Flik, the young protagonist, is a clumsy inventor with a big heart. He realizes that only with outside help can he save the colony, so he embarks on a journey during which he hires a group of insect actors from a flea circus, with whom he defeats Hopper and wins the love of Princess Atta. The eternal struggle between good and evil is sustained here by a plot full of hilarious situations and brilliant dialogue. The characterization of the characters is excellent, so much so that at the end, during the credits, the "wrong takes" are shown, as if a movie had been shot with real actors. Without a doubt, a well-made animated film, fascinating and entertaining even for an adult audience.
A thoroughly enjoyable production from Disney and Pixar.
'A Bug’s Life' cobbles together nice animation, fun characters and a memorable voice cast. The premise is entertaining, as the film flies through its 95 minute run time. The score is pretty solid, also.
Dave Foley is good in the role of Flik, while Kevin Spacey is actually great as Hopper; shame about the actor himself, obviously. There's a load of other noteworthy members of the voice cast, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Atta), Hayden Panettiere (Dot), Bonnie Hunt (Rosie) and John Ratzenberger (P.T.) as well as many others - one of the studios' best casts.
I actually prefer, somewhat controversially I guess, 'Antz' to this - only marginally though, as I truly like them both. I'd say watch the pair, if you can!
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.
