P.T. Flea's Circus Troupe

P.T. Flea's Circus Troupe are a group of cars that P.T. Flea recruits for his circus in the film A Bug's Life. They appear in Cars, when the Radiator Springs residents are viewing A Bug's Life. In the movie, Flik is surprised when P.T. Flea introduces him to the group, claiming that despite their flaws, they will make him rich.

The Circus Cab is the largest member of the group. He is painted green, with an orange cap and red grille, which resembles a clown nose. He is presumably based on Dim, the rhino beetle from A Bug's Life. He is an Aeroliner Semi Cab.

==Names in other languages==
*French: Le Cirque De Puces
*Ukrainian: П.Т. Циркова трупа Флі (transcription: P.T. Tsyrkova trupa Fli)
==Trivia==
*They are based on the Circus Bugs from A Bug's Life, another Pixar film.
*Even though there are nine insects making up P.T. Flea's circus in A Bug's Life, only six of the nine appear in the Cars version; Manny the Praying Mantis, his wife Gypsy the Moth, and Rosie the Black Widow Spider are presumably the only three members left out of the Cars version and therefore don't appear as vehicles.
