Synopsis:
John Lasseter, director of Pixar's movie phenomenon "Toy
Story", has set new standards in computer animation with this effort,
another Disney-released children's epic entitled A Bug's Life. Blending classic
Disney storytelling characters and the mysterious underground world of bugs,
Lasseter has created a film that can be enjoyed by all audiences, and another
franchise in the process. A Bug's Life is a computerized retelling of the
Aesop fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, made as a cartoon-short by the
one-and-only, Walt Disney, in the mid-'30s. However, A Bug's Life has
modernized the story with many new twists and celebrity voices. The story
focuses on a colony of ants who seasonally gather food for themselves and a wild
gang of rowdy grasshoppers. When bumbling worker ant Flik (David Foley) destroys
the food supply, the angry grasshoppers, lead by the maniacally warped Hopper
(Kevin Spacey), threaten to kill the ants if they don't produce a new supply of
food by the time they return -- an impossible feat. Flik leaves the anthill in
search of help in the form of bigger bugs, and to wage war against the
grasshoppers. What he doesn't know is he has actually discovered a group of
down-on-their-luck traveling circus insects in need of a job. When the ants
realize that their heroes are really circus performers (and the circus bugs
realize these grasshoppers are really big and mean), the situation goes from bad
to worse. Ultimately, the ants use their large numbers to overcome the
grasshoppers.
