I really rather enjoyed this film - it had a wonderful cgi animation style that is all its own, that supports the story rather than draws away from it. It is always sad when a movie spends more time making the visuals fantastic but no time making the story and plot engaging and memorable - luckily, this is not one of those films.

This movie is hilarious. I have never laughed so much ever. It has great acting, affects, dialogue, and especially superb humour – everything you need in a great movie. The movie does have a few scenes that drag out but all in all it’s a must have for all comedy fans and is suitable for basically all ages. It’s a must have, so buy it – You will definitely won’t be disappointed. Good...

I really loved this movie. It was a great story and very entertaining. I do like the movies that get into my child within. I can laugh and all of the slapstick and jokes as I did when I was a kid. This movie is right up there with Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. for great movies. I highly recommend this movie to the young and old out there watching movies.

(originally a response to a movie reviewer who said A Bug's Life was too much, too fast--he was "dazed and exhausted" by the visuals, and seemed to ignore the story completely)

Okay, first off, I'm 26 years old, have a job, go to school, and have a fiance'. So maybe I'm nuts and just really good at hiding it...but not only did I NOT come away from A Bug's Life exhausted or dazed, it wasn't until I saw it the second time that I could even begin to truly appreciate the artistry and humour of the spectacular visuals--because the first time I went to see this movie, I got so wrapped up in the story and the characters that I FORGOT that I was supposed to be sitting there being "wowed" by each frame visually. How can you not empathize with Flik and his road-to-heck-paved-with-good-intentions life? "Heck" indeed, I found myself identifying with that little ant (not to mention some of the other bugs) in a lot more ways than one...and that, in itself, says more to me about what an incredible movie this is than a whole book on its beautiful eye candy. Of course, it's beautiful (every blade of grass, the tree, the rain...). Of course, what they can do with technology is amazing (you can read their lips! try it!). But this movie is not just a masterpiece of art and tech, not just an dazzling explosion of movement and color. No, A Bug's Life would be static if it were all that and no story. But, I'm glad to say, it's not! A Bug's Life has real heart. Yes, there's a lot going on, storyline-wise as well as visually, but that's because the story and characters actually have some depth to them! Just because it's a kids' movie doesn't mean you should have to turn off your brain at the theatre door--kids are smarter than you think! Besides that, I think that the PIXAR crew made this for themselves, even before their kids...and it shows, in the amount of heart in has. This movie is moving, touching, funny, intriguing, and generally engrossing. The character development in such an ensemble cast is amazing, there's a major amount of character growth, and not just of the main character--so rare in animation and often in movies in general. It doesn't hit you over the head with its points once it's made them--every scene, every frame has a reason in the storyline for being there, and there are no gratuitous shots. Not always stating explicitly in words exactly what is going on means subtlety, to me, folks; it means not "dumbing down" your movie and assuming the audience is stupid, which it mostly is not. All I can think is, if you can see A Bug's Life and not feel anything at all, then you must have never made a big mistake, hurt your friends, had a crush, fallen in love, been frustrated that no one would listen to you, lied to someone you care about, felt like a social misfit, gotten excited over a new idea, come up with a great idea, had what you thought was a great idea backfire, been awkward one moment and confident the next, felt the pressure of responsibility, stood up for yourself and your loved ones, stood alone against the crowd, felt like a failure, felt like a big success, felt the need to make a difference with your life in the lives of others...well, you get the point. Final words: A+ rating from me; please, if you're going to see it try to see it in the theatre (pan and scan video is NOT going to work for this movie); if you loved Toy Story you'll most likely love this (PIXAR knows how to make movies with heart); if you do love it see it multiple times or you STILL won't know what you're missing (the amount of detail and subtlety here is considerable); and whenever you're feeling really low, just pretend it's a seed, okay?

aweessomme. super interesting great storylines. makes u wanna watch it. i reccomend to all. definatley go out and get this and watch it or even better, just buy it!!! i totally think that you should wath this. you will def enjoy it. you will nto regret it! adorable!

A Bugs Life is full of colour, fun and passion which is severly lacking from Antz. Flick, an inventor, is just trying to help his colony - yet it always seems to go wrong, until he meets the warrior bugs (or so he thinks). The warriors include an obese caterpillar, a stick insect and a male ladybird making for a hilarous and vibrant cast.

After the brilliant animated film Antz (basically a Woody Allen where all the characters are computer generated bugs), A Bug's Life seems a little flat in comparison, one of the lesser films put out by Pixar, still, this should appeal to the youngsters, but those looking for a more mature animated film involving insects should seek out the far superior Antz.

Another great film from Pixar, a bug's life is a story about an ant how causes trouble all the time and is sent out on a wild goose chase to hire a group of insect mercenaries to save them from grasshoppers who always tax half of their food for winter. Mistaking a cricus troupe as the mercenaries he takes them back home, with severe consequences. Fans of other Pixar films will enjoy this.

this is a nice lil movie that had a good storyline and animation. i would reccommend is more for younger kids cause it is quite a simple storyline that kids would love. it isnt really a movie i would watch over and over again but i think kids would.

This film is made for the kiddies and it shows. Its quite a soft story but the animation is great, the voices a good. Its one of those great pixar films that creates a story about the lives of things we wouldnt normally think about. It gives new life to bugs. Its easy to watch and the kids will love it. Great for a rainy winter day on the weekend or during the holidays. great work!
