You won't believe it's animation

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 1998)

When viewing a movie like this, it is hard to appreciate the work that must have gone into making it. A Bug's Life is an animation masterpiece; an entertainment package for all ages. The experience starts with a short Pixar animation entitled Geri's Game, which won the 1997 Academy Award for Best Short Film. This film itself was amazing. As for the actual movie, it combines a good story, a good lesson, and great animation for an all-around great package. The casting of the voices was brilliant. You can recognize who the celebrities behind the voices are at first, but it takes very little time before their voices are permanently the possessions of their characters. The greatest thing I liked from A Bug's Life, along with all animations, is the attention to detail. From realistic shadows, to the intricate grains of sand, so the scar on Hopper's eye, I am in awe of how computers can create such a realistic masterpiece. I definitely suggest it for all ages. Great date movie. Wink, wink.
