it makes you think twice before squishing an ant!

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 1999)

what an adorable movie this is! Why i haven't seen a movie that was this much fun in ages! Pixar animation studios have created a masterpiece, which i think is better than Toy Story. This movie teaches that grass hoppers are really bad guys, i'd squish them anyday now.
A bug's life is actually Flik's life, who is a very clumsy ant who can't stand that he and his fellow ants are being oppressed by a gang of grass hoppers led by Hopper. The grass hoppers come by once year to eat the food which the ants have picked through the year. One day, Flik accidentally drops all the food collected for Hopper. He is now the enemy of the ant hill, because now the ants have to pick twice the resource of food for the grass hoppers. Then, flik comes up with a great idea: to get help from other, bigger ants to help them stand up for themselves. The queen thinks it's a ridiculous idea, but she sends him anyway so he can't screw anything up. Unexpectedly, flik succeeds in his mission and comes back with a bunch of who seem strong enough. But, when these guys appear to be just a group of circus clowns, the chaos begins...
I won't give away the ending, simply because it's too good to be revealed. But believe you me, this movie is well worth the price of rental. IT's one of the best animations ever, and it's these kind of movies that should win oscars.
