A Bug's Life [DVD] [1998]

Blue ray has the best picture that I have seen from the VHS movies

Thw movie was good, but as far as BB goes, they win again on the shipping. The items were nicely packaged for shipping and arrived a day early.

Excellent movie of the year the best movie of the year

One of my favorite animated movies, I can put this on and watch it whenever.

Not the best Pixar but beautiful and different than other animated features.

I saw this at a good price. The story is a good one, Pixar makes great stuff in animation it looks so real!

I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this movie, as well as played the video game adaptation of it back on the original PlayStation. It goes down as one of my personal favorite movies of all time, as well as one of the best that Pixar has made. The story and character development is fantastic, as well as some of the set pieces such as the city of junk underneath a mobile home and the bomb-like raindrops in the final confrontation. It did a wonderful job taking the world we live in and throwing it in the perspective of a bug as well, with a great deal of research and heart put into the development of this film. I wish there were more movies about bugs (and toys), I love the "everything is giant" perspective that movies like this bring. There were other movies along a similar style of this one (Antz and the Ant Bully), and while the animation quality of one of those films may have been a little bit better, I do not hold either of those movies in the same regard as this one. I am very glad to have this film in a working capacity to share with any future generations that I may have in my family.

Following up on the success of Toy Story, Pixar was clearly anxious to make another resonant hit. Once again, they proved they could make a world filled with excitement, colourful characters, and childlike wonder. We follow the journey of Flik, an ant who's bumbling ways have made trouble for his colony. When he meets a group of colourful circus bugs, he enlists them to help his colony drive off the swarm of grasshoppers threatening them. You are able to instantly fall in love with the characters. Honestly, every single one of them gets at least a few great moments, and they all have at least a bit of an arc. The cast is quite large, but you get a sense of interconnections, while also seeing each character as their own man...er, bug. The story is great, too, moving through plot points seamlessly, while still giving time for important character relationships. Honestly, the thing is so organic, you will be shocked when it's over.
