Fun Pixar comedy

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2019)

A Bug's Life was Pixar's second film, and while it was a commercial and critical success, it's one of their lesser-known films. A pity - because it's pretty darn good! It's about a colony of ants, who send one of their hated members (an inventor who ALWAYS messed up WITHOUT FAIL) on a dope mission to find warrior bugs to protect them from the grasshoppers who were their de facto overlords. He finds what he thinks are warrior bugs - but which are actually circus bugs - and brings them back to the nest.
The animation probably doesn't look much compared to, say, Inside Out, but it's still pretty good. The story's excellent - an oppressed people rising up against their oppressors. But, it's also a character story, with great character development all round.
It's good.
