Movie synopsis
The computer animation crew at Pixar--the creators of TOY STORY--return with another feature rife with stunningly rendered worlds populated by cute critters you can't help but care about. The story is simple--an ant colony led by Flik (Dave Foley) seeks help from a flea circus and other insects in their struggles against the oppressive grasshopper bullies led by Hopper (Kevin Spacey). However, as with TOY STORY, there is as much for adults to enjoy here as there is for the kids. (In fact, the story is loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's classic SEVEN SAMURAI.) And don't miss the wonderful "outtakes" that roll with the closing credits!

Editorial reviews

"...Tightly constructed....The script has fun playing with our common knowledge of insects..."
Sight and Sound - Leslie Felperin

"...A hellzapoppin creature-feature jamboree..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (01/15/1999)

"...Rowdier than a New Year's Eve party..."-- 4 out of 4 stars
USA Today - Mike Clark (12/24/1998)

"...A BUG'S LIFE makes jaunty, imaginative use of both extraordinary technology and bold storytelling possibilities within the insect world..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (11/25/1998)

"...Lasseter brilliantly exploits the material for both laughs and pathos, while pushing the technological parameters of computer animation even beyond the already impressive feat of TOY STORY..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
Box Office - Wade Major (01/01/1999)

"...[A BUG'S LIFE has] an unfettered imagination....This footloose humor comes from both the writing and the direction..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (11/20/1998)

"[T]he SEVEN SAMURAI-like story provides a solid framework for stunning animation and winning characters, including Dave Foley's nice work in the lead."
A.V. Club - A.V. Club (05/27/2009)

4 stars out of 5 -- "Offering colourful eye-candy for tots and in-jokes galore for adults, its clarity of purpose boils the Pixar template to near-abstract purity."
Total Film - Simon Kinnear (02/01/2011)

"[T]his animated fable teems with vivid creatures standing on their own countless feet."
Wall Street Journal (06/24/2011)

Good film NOT the best Pixar good extras

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

The 2cd of the Pixar films.

It is a good film BUT no where near the best of Pixar's films.

You can enjoy it BUT do you need to rewatch soon? Nope. The film does NOT have really any memorable characters, jokes, moments.

Good looking film, blu ray is good for it.

Has some decent extras.

An enjoyable film but as stated above, NOT the best of Pixar's work.

Do not buy from this seller! Different item sent!

BEWARE of this seller! Buy from a different person! I decided to buy this because the ad said it was a regular dvd that could be listened to in Spanish and it was new. I received a blu ray dvd that could only be listened to in English and was used and scratched. Needless to say, I am very upset and dissappointed and have written a complaint, but the seller is no longer a member?

It's not about Bugs, but it is about Life

I like cartoons. This one rides a bit too much on the tacky, cutesy side for me (the little "Princess" ant is cloying) and that is why I graded it as Good rather than Excellent. I like everything else about it though, including that it's really about humans. Trust me, an ant colony would not benefit nor be amused by this film. Humans, on the other hand . . . .

Why did I decide to buy it? Because I wanted to replace my VHS version with something less inclined to disintegrate over time (or get eaten by the tape machine).
