Pixar’s biggest hits: A Bug’s Life

Pixars biggest hits: A Bugs Life

By: Alex Malawski, Reporter

As if Pixar couldn’t top it again after their successful Academy Award winning “Toy Story”, with another community of beings living in peace and harmony, this time around it’s world of talking bugs.

The film is similar to Dreamworks Animations Antz because it just so happens that these two motion pictures are both about insects.  With a bold and zealous attitude at erecting a fictitious world in which bugs are in contrast to humans.

Directors John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton made something with heart and profound curiosity when approaching this movie, which is certainly fascinating. All throughout “a bug’s life” the animation is utterly spectacular when analyzed carefully. The film’s  sense of wonder and curiosity is what makes the film stand out.

A bug’s life, a tale of wonder, curiosity, and  discover, also has morals to be understood like: Big things come in small packages. This message can relate to all age groups.
