It has terrific animation, colorful characters and pure storyline, what more could you ask for in a film?

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2007)

My take: What animated movies are all about.
Seeing a different kind of world when venturing in the movies have always been a delight to me. A BUG'S LIFE, once again, takes me to that glowing escapade. Introducing me to a different world, meeting different ranges of characters and freshen up with a good story as it goes along. All those delightful pleasures are here in A BUG'S LIFE. It has terrific animation, colorful characters and pure storyline, what more could you ask for in a film.
Pixar, ever since they made TOY STORY, has gone of in a winning streak. A BUG'S LIFE still keeps their victory running. Thanks, mainly, to director John Lasseter who keeps a Disney tradition when making these movies. In A BUG'S LIFE, The animation and quality is strictly Pixar, but the story, about the cooperation and determination against odds against them, are the stuff Disney films are famous for.
The film was released alongside another ant film entitled ANTZ, which sounds like they have similar plot lines. But their plots aren't that identical. While ANTZ appeals more to a mature choice of audience due to its mature characters, despite the child movie plot. Ask for A BUG'S LIFE, which tells the story of a colony of ants, bullied by a swarm of grasshoppers, who has nothing to do but lay around, is a less complicated plot. Thus, A BUG'S LIFE is the movie to show the kids more often, while ANTZ will be the adults'.
I'm not just rating A BUG'S LIFE high because it's a terrific animated film. But also because it takes us, once again, to a different world, one where we set are imaginations free, free from the bounds of reality.
Rating: ***** out of 5.
