Product Description
Review

New York Times, 11/25/1998, p.E1, "...A BUG'S LIFE makes jaunty, imaginative use of both extraordinary technology and bold storytelling possibilities within the insect world..."

Box Office, 01/01/1999, p.53, "...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

Sight and Sound, 02/1999, p.39-40, "...Tightly constructed....The script has fun playing with our common knowledge of insects..."

Entertainment Weekly, 01/15/1999, p.44, "...A hellzapoppin creature-feature jamboree..." -- Rating: B

USA Today, 12/24/1998, p.4D, "...Rowdier than a New Year's Eve party..."-- 4 out of 4 stars

Los Angeles Times, 11/20/1998, p.C1, "...[A BUG'S LIFE has] an unfettered imagination....This footloose humor comes from both the writing and the direction..."

Product Notes

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!
