A Bug's Life was Pixar's second movie after the highly successful Toy Story.John Lasseter returns to direct this movie.
The story for Bug's Life is influenced by the fable, "The Ant & the
Grasshopper" and for experienced viewers ,you could also notice it was
inspired from the Japanese classic Seven Samurai. I felt the story
was very simplistic in nature, compared to Toy Story (and also to later
Pixar movies).It was very predictable and didnt stand out from the rest
of the group. But it did standout ,in terms of animation.Bug's Life
sees Pixar's level of animation rise and its very noticeable.The
beautiful background and detail that is applied to each and every scene
is breath taking.The second half and mainly the climax is the best part
of the movie.
As in most Pixar movies,the characters are given
top priority.And in Bugs Life its no different.Each and everyone is well
developed.The funniest part is the final credits ,when the movie's
bloopers are shown.That itself shows how much the characters are
developed and brought up by Pixar.
Even though a similar movie
(Antz) was released a month before ,Bug's Life managed to defeat it and
became a success at the box office.
The movie isnt meant for all ages ,it wont have the same charm and is meant for kids,but its still worth a watch.
