Summary: Stays Funny After Dozens of Viewings
Review: There aren't many children's videos I can sit through dozens of times (and many I can't stomach even once). But this one is a spectacular exception. The story is good (Seven Samurai, The Magnificent Seven, The Three Amigos). The scripting is clever and funny. The voices are good and the animation is really top-notch. My 3-year old son loves it (he has practically memorized it) and I have no problem joining him and enjoying every minute. The DVD also includes a short animation which alone is almost worth the price.

Summary: Entertaining Movie
Review: "A Bug's Life" is a simple plotted movie about the ant who always seems to invent a "better way to do things," but for some reason the inventions go wrong. The anthill where he lives, must collect food for grasshoppers annually for "protection" from other bugs. One of his inventions eliminates the annual "gift" to the grasshoppers, and the story is off and running. Our hero, Flik, as "punishment," it sent to the "Big City" to find some bigger bugs to fight and hopefully chase away the grasshoppers. Like Flik, the "bigger bugs" he finds are a misfit (flea) circus troupe that are trying to fit it. However, Flik mistakes them for warrior bugs, and they mistake him as a talent scout.A sub-plot focuses on Dot, a young little queen ant who's wings are too small for her to fly. Dot, being cute and adorable, will steal a scene or two from the main story. One lesson taught in this movie is that "the gift you treasure is within you." You just have to look deep enough to find and cultivate it. Within every tiny seed (or rock--you have to see the film), a mighty oak is inside. I have mentioned this lesson taught in the film several times when doing motivational presentations or team-building exercises. Although the pre-teen group might not understand all the jokes in the movie, they should enjoy it nonetheless. Teens and adults should be able to catch the pokes at Disney and few other well-known companies in the jokes. And who knows, maybe learn a thing or two about themselves in the process. If watching the movie for the first time, watch the "outtakes" at the end of the movie. When "A Bug's Life" was in movie theaters, there were two versions of the outtakes. On the DVD, you can view the both versions of the "outtakes"--both have very funny spoofs of various scenes throughout the movie.

Summary: A Bug's Life Gold Collection DVD
Review: While not nearly as packed as the "Collector's Edition", this Gold Collection issue still deserves 5 stars because of the film itself. Disney & Pixar created a film that at times passed "Toy Story" in both quality and entertainment value. The story is very simple, about an outcast that tries to fit back into his society. Then there are the bad guys, in this case Grasshoppers, that are beyond cruel and may be too intense for VERY young viewers. All of the characters are likable & creative. My favorite twist, the Male Ladybug, was genius. The world seen through the eyes of bug's was obviously thoroughly planned and thought through becuase every inch of the different cities, "sets", or landscapes were right on target and were totally believable. One can hope that Disney & Pixar contiune to make great animated film's such as this one.

Summary: The Animation Is The Only Good Thing About This Movie
Review: I saw A Bug's Life at the show at a theatre a three years ago on opening weekend and came completely ripped off and disappointed.What makes this film diapppointing is that it seemed like the writers of the film didn't even try to make the film funny.I guess what I thought it was going to be another Toy Story masterpiece but I guess I was wrong.This is disney's worst animated film.

Summary: Supah Genius
Review: This is an example of a truly great DVD. I liked "Bug's Life" well enough when I saw it in theaters, but I didn't feel any need to see it repeatedly or own it. But the slew of excellent bonus features make this good film into an exceptional DVD. The Pixar crew does some of the best DVD commentary I've heard, filling you in on little in-jokes, behind the scenes story processes, and technical info all the while sounding very natural and spontaneous. You'll find just about everything you could possibly hope for on the bonus disc in terms of artwork. Drawings trace characters from their sketchy beginings to final form. You also get a look at the first version of the story, which is vastly different from the end product. I think the Fleabie reel, a hilarious little film which Pixar sent to Disney to show their progress so far, nicely sums up the sense of fun that seems to exist at Pixar and that translates so well to this DVD.

Review: This movie has unquie storyline and also a great plot and best of all it has fantastic animation you've seen movies before but most of them have sketchy animation but not this movie it actually made everything aboustely everything in this movie look so real .The movie is a fantastic family film but I also should be extra credit in for the comedy in this movie .

Summary: Enthusiastic Thumbs Up
Review: Dynamic film with superb structure and style. Flawless production. Characters are lively and unique. Encourages kids to look at things differently, even to value the life of a bug. Good stuff. Children who watched were positively entranced. They laughed, got scared, cheered, and even cried. One kid said, "They were trying to work together but it was like when we tried to learn square dancing." Another said, "I did not know bugs were so smart." Enthusiastic thumbs-up from our crew.

Summary: A Bug's Life has little impact on mine
Review: Perhaps shadowed by the EXCELLENT film Antz, released around the same, A Bug's Life is a similar premice. It's humor seemed much more directed towards children than adults than I would have appreciated - judged against other Disney successes. It IS possible to create a youth friendly film and yet entertain the parents as well. This film, in my opinion, only achieves the the first.

Summary: "Ha Ha! The comedy of the century!"
Review: I really liked the movie, I liked it when the two Spanish bugs kept on saying "you fired" in front of people. The bloopers were especially funny, when the two Spanish bugs were burping an the one on the right farted. One classic animated movie, better than Toy Story.
