A great movie that serves as a great warning

Rating: Null/10 (19 June 2006)

A Bug's Life offers many things that Toy Story had, such as humor for adults and children alike, great visuals and it brought something new (that I will get to in the next paragraph)to the table. Yet it seems this highly underrated movie inexplicably will always stay in Toy Story's shadow.
The story truly is inspired. I love how it serves as a warning about the McCarthey Era, which seems an an overlooked time in our nation's history as this movie is. Flick represents new ideas, inventions, and forward thinking as well as the working man. The ants represent our society and (again) the working man. When communists come to America to take our spoils, Flick (foward thinking) is sent to retrieve people to help them (our local government). When it turns out the government is of no help, Flick is placed in the role of the working man and becomes a vigilante, just as people were putting the matters (and firepower) into their own hands.
