For the second time this year, an animated feature film about ants has hit the theaters. A band of evil grasshoppers who insist that the ants collect their food for them.
Ants collect the food.
As with Antz, the filmmakers have attracted some recognizable names who lend their voices to the project. A Bug s Life combines the best of style and substance which is not surprising considering that this is the same team that gave us Toy Story a few years back. As with that film, A Bug s Life presents a story that is both engrossing and entertaining via a medium that is technologically advanced and amazingly effective. They are almost worth the price of admission. The filmmakers were very clever in introducing an assortment of bug characters through the plot device of the flea circus performers.
