FILM FACT No.2: The plotline has several similarities to the DreamWorks' produced 'Antz,' which had been released a month earlier. This was because of Jeffrey Katzenberg forming DreamWorks and previously being kicked out of Disney for feuding in the company around the time A Bugs Life was in development. The circus theme song was previously used on the score of 'James and the Giant Peach' [1996] where James is about to retrieve the peach for Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. The read-along version contains the very rare song, "A Place You've Never Been." This is the only PIXAR film before Disney purchased it that did not receive a sequel or prequel. John Lassetter repeatedly attempted to get Robert DeNiro to voice Hopper, the grasshopper, but Robert DeNiro repeatedly declined. Robert DeNiro didn't do animated voice work at the time. In the bloopers shown at the end of the film, Princess Atta is shown cracking up during her scene with Hopper, ruining take after take until Hopper goes to his trailer in frustration. This is a spoof of Julia Louis-Dreyfus being known to do the same. The film is inspired by Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai and all of its successors, including ‘The Magnificent Seven,’ which gave the villain a more prominent role than in ‘Seven Samurai’ and had a similar scene in which the heroes are driven away from the people they were protecting and ‘Three Amigos!’ which was a comedic take on the story.

Andrew's Blu-ray Review: With the animated film ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ [1998] every year, a colony of ants is expected to harvest food for a biker-gang-like bunch of grasshoppers. One ant, Flik, is an inventor whose creations usually do more harm than good. While trying out a mechanical harvester, he drops his machine and on auto-pilot, it knocks the pile of food into a stream just before the grasshoppers arrive. Their leader, Hopper, gives the ants the rest of the season to make good on what they owe, but orders a double ration of food after Flik stands up to him in defence of the Queen's youngest daughter Dot. Flik is admonished by the colony's royal council. When Flik suggests that he try to recruit some "warrior bugs" to fight the grasshoppers, Princess Atta (Dot's older sister and the eventual successor to the Queen) allows him to do so, but only to keep him out of the way.
Reaching the insect "city," which is in fact actually a pile of garbage, Flik encounters a troupe of unemployed circus bugs whose latest performance has just ended in disaster. He mistakes them for the warriors he needs. At the same time, they believe him to be a talent scout who wants to book their act. They return to the colony, much to Atta's surprise, and are immediately greeted as heroes who can end the grasshopper threat. Atta soon becomes suspicious after overhearing a conversation where both Flik and the troupe realize their mistakes. However, after they band together to save Dot from a hungry bird, she begins to think that the troupe may be able to stop the grasshoppers after all. She also starts to find herself falling in love with Flik and the feeling is mutual.
At the grasshopper gang's hideout, Hopper's brother Molt suggests they do not go back, since they have more than enough food stored and the weather will soon turn bad. Hopper reminds him and the gang that if they do not keep the ants living in fear, the ants might use their superior numbers, "a hundred to one," he estimates, to run the grasshoppers out of the colony for good. The gang sets out for the island to collect their due. When Flik discovers that Hopper is afraid of birds, due to him almost getting eaten by one years ago, he proposes that the colony build a model bird to scare him away, the plan is presented by the circus bugs, so the royal council believes the "warriors" came up with the idea. The ants put their food-gathering work on hold to carry out this project. After they finish and put the bird in the island's tree, circus ringmaster P.T. Flea arrives looking for his missing performers and exposes the truth. Upset at Flik's deception, Atta orders him exiled from the colony, while the other ants hide the bird and rush to collect whatever food they can for Hopper. They are unable to meet the double quota he set, and when the gang arrives, Hopper takes over the anthill and forces the ants to bring him all the food on the island.
Dot overhears the gang's plans to kill the Queen once they have all the food, and she catches up with Flik and the troupe. She persuades them to return and put the bird plan into action, with help from her and some of the other young ants. The model frightens the gang, which almost retreats, until P.T. intervenes and sets the model on fire with lighter fluid. Enraged, Hopper sends his crazed assistant Thumper to injure Flik, but Flik is still able to stand up and rally the other ants, saying that the grasshoppers depend on the extorted food for their own survival. The entire colony swarms against the gang, forcing all except Hopper to leave. However, a thunderstorm begins, causing panic among the ants. Hopper grabs Flik and flies off, intent on killing him. Atta rescues Flik, and the two lure Hopper towards the bird's nest. Hopper corners Flik and starts strangling him, revealing his intention of returning to the colony with more grasshoppers. Flik is saved when the bird appears, picks up Hopper and feeds him to her chicks.
Later, the colony adopts Flik's harvester to speed up grain collection. Atta becomes the new queen, passes the princess crown to Dot and chooses Flik as her mate. As the troupe leaves, Slim the stick insect notices that they've forgotten Heimlich the caterpillar, who emerges from the chrysalis in which he has encased himself. He pops out with a tiny pair of butterfly wings, far too small to lift him off the ground, but he's picked up by Francis the ladybug and Manny the praying mantis, and the troupe, with Molt, acting as a road crew assistant, departs with the colony's thanks. Dot joined by Queen Atta and Flik, who are shown holding hands, wave goodbye. The shot then pulls out to reveal that "Ant Island" is a small area in the forest surrounded by a little stream.
When the chance came that PIXAR had landed with ‘Toy Story,’ who all felt at the time that it was going to be a one-off hit. Therefore, the expectations were greater for PIXAR with ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ was their second full-length presentation, and again completely produced in computer animation presentation, and again landed a worldwide top hit of even greater success, and after more than 10 years! In technical terms, it had, enormously further development compared to its predecessor ‘Toy Story’ and made the impossible possible: A totally organic world that looked almost life like, that was created in computer technology and showed the possibilities of the then fledgling CGI animation genres impressively and whereby PIXAR was also the first to even it dare to even show crowd scenes.
PIXAR would not have been PIXAR, especially when the story was first conceived and a lot of people didn't feel convinced 100%, but ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ has everything you need for a perfect family film or even no longer exclusively just younger viewers to captivate. There are, as with many other PIXAR films, just the adult audience who feel particularly addressed via the many hidden gags and illusions and especially with an animation film of a kind of an insect version of the Aesop Fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper,” Akira Kurosawa's ‘Seven Samurai’ and John Landis ‘Three Amigos!’ film. Director John Lasser and Co. shows the ant colony in their diligence, only when Flik's escape from his thoroughly structured work world that is enrich with bits and pieces of our modern world and not just to provide many laughs. The animation film has throughout its heart in the right place and presents topics such as friendship and outsiders in the centre and provides impressive evidence of that in accordance with the motto 'Together we are strong,' almost anything is possible!
Director John Lasseter, who later on with ‘CARS,’ staged and continue as the mad genius of PIXAR and Co-director Andrew Stanton, who later on was instigator of the PIXAR masterpieces ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘Wall-E,’ have clearly created a masterpiece, just like ‘Toy Story’ three years earlier, the medium of the modern animated film has influenced it decisively and thematically similar aligned competing product with DreamWorks ‘ANTZ.# The later animation films of PIXAR are in technical and narrative aspects, perhaps a little more mature now , but that does not change the high entertainment potential of ‘A BUG'S LIFE,’ and to now not underappreciated early PIXAR highlights!
A highlight that is this German Release Limited Edition SteelBook Blu-ray in completely new splendour, which is now already far superior than the previous inferior DVD version, which at that time was the very first DVD from PIXAR which has arisen from the original digital source, which is now a flagship title. On Blu-ray, however, the whole thing looks totally different again, because ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ is totally enthusiastic with absolute reference values, both the image and the sound. The previous PIXAR titles were all flagship releases, and ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ is no different and it is also the evidence supplied, that title can easily keep up with newer productions from the early days of CGI animation. Also impressive is the Extras selection which offers a downright dissolute insight into the film production. In the 'A Bug's Life' Blu-ray the same applies as in the recent high-definition discs of virtually infallible PIXAR Animation Studios: a must-have title. It has to offer demo material and is suitable not only for animation and PIXAR fans of hard-nosed variety!

Blu-ray Video Quality – PIXAR once again shows how confident they are with their Blu-ray with this perfect 1080p top quality image and especially that this is the only second feature-length animated film from PIXAR which is hardly to believe that ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ was released 1998 and still looks fresh today! The technical progress of animation compared to ‘Toy Story’ which was their first computer generated animation and here they have outdone themselves and implemented a truly organic world that looks wonderfully realistic and the technical possibilities of that time after time probably completely maxed out! Unlike the subsequent PIXAR films in which much is played with perspective blurring and one has achieved an even more natural and film-like look, comes ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ uniquely smooth ironed therefore i.e., many brilliant, partly semi-transparent surfaces which almost like made are to let the film look very three-dimensional. At the sharpness and detail drawings, there's nothing to complain about anyway, because the film is from A to Z completely sharp and offers an incredible wealth of details. Addition to the exceptional colour reproduction of the film also impresses with a practically perfect contrast rendition. Spotless reference image quality with the highest level of high-definition! Throughout you have razor sharp images with the finest image details. It is perfect and well balanced contrast ratio with rich black levels. It also has very good and powerful reproduction of the very colourful palette. Throughout it has very good three-dimensional-looking image. ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ offers a perfect image quality without negative aspects. A thoroughly excellent high-definition presentation which is of high praise definition feeling that is hard to beat more. Therefore, there is something for ‘A BUG'S LIFE,’ as for all previous PIXAR productions on Blu-ray, they definitely get a perfect 5 star rating from me!
Blu-ray Audio Quality – ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ does not disappoint when it comes to the sound acoustic experience of the ultimate 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. In typical PIXAR tradition is one commanded a reference worthy sound mixes here that has a continuously active surround reproduction in which all elements were tuned harmoniously with each other and in the action lasting moments, such as during the bird-attack or the heavy rainy down pours, even surprising aggressive comes across wonderful. The sound mixes do not lack any precisely placed directional effects, even on a good bass reproduction! The dialogue reproduction is continuously balanced as perfectly understandable and perfectly designate, even though the sound mix is already 10 years old, and still has a listening experience that is a joy to listen to, especially for this animation film and is the perfect sound design for ‘A BUG'S LIFE.’ Incidentally, the perfect sound mix was directly recorded from many natural sounds compositions, is still what makes this an absolute flagship audio tone on this Blu-ray disc, which is still each time you play this excellent Blu-ray disc, you will find it is better than ever before!
Blu-ray Special Features and Extras: Anyone familiar with the recent Blu-ray titles from PIXAR, and who knows that one cannot be stingy, even with the extras and ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ is no exception and is totally Praiseworthy! The entire material is from the previous inferior DVD and it also has some new content added from this present 10-year anniversary edition, which are in turn presented in 1080p, as well as long-time fans will get their money's worth who already had the previous bonus features.
Special Feature: Geri's Game [1997] [1080p] [1.47:1] [4:54] Synopsis: An ageing old codger named Geri plays a daylong a game of chess against himself; he is physically moving from side to side as he plays from white to black. As the game progresses, the two sides of himself become individual and distinct players, "white" being the pensive and thoughtful side, "black" being the aggressive hard hitting side. But as the game looks to be coming to a conclusion, “white” makes a surprisingly aggressive move which could change what looked to be the obvious outcome of the game. As with the previous inferior DVD versions this has now been included on this Blu-ray disc and is the OSCAR® winning computer animated short film 'Geri's Game' made by PIXAR. There is nothing missing in this animation film that was seen in the theatrical film release of ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ as a supporting film and today it is still very amusing.
Special Feature: ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ Filmmaker's Roundtable [2011] [1080p] [1.78:1 / 2.35:1 / 1.37:1] [20:58] One of the most successful feature with this Blu-ray is clearly the newer produced “Filmmaker's Roundtable” feature. At the round table meeting we get to see the filmmakers Darla K. Anderson [Producer], John Lasseter [Director], Andrew Stanton [Co-director] and Kevin Reher [Co-producer] and share their most memorable anecdotes and also reflect on the creation of this amazing animated film ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ and talk about the origin and creation of the 10 year old computer generated animated film and to share their most memorable anecdotes, but they also tell many hilarious funny stories, but at the same time reflect on the difficulties of the project, that if it was a failure, the future of the fledgling PIXAR animation studio was at stake. This is well worth viewing.
Special Feature: ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ – The First Draft [1998] [1080p] [1.78:1] [10:19] Here we get to view a re-enactment of the computer animated film’s initial version. Actor Dave Foley narrates as we watch semi-animated art. The basic story remains the same, but quite a few differences exist between this edition and the final film. I think it is really cool and amazing that we can examine an early take of the material, and the fancy presentation makes this component even more winning. What I can say is that you get to view a wonderful colourful animated storyboard of the treatment of the original story. On top of all that, you have an introduction with John Lasseter who provides a 33 second lead-in that tells us a little about what we get to view and is again well worth viewing.
Special Feature: A Walt Disney Silly Symphony: 'Grasshopper and the Ants' [1934] [1080p] [1.37:1] [8:28] This is an additional short film is the Disney cartoon 'Grasshopper and the Ants' from the Silly Symphonies series. The high-resolution presentation animated cartoon from 1934. It is available with an optional 35 second introduction with John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton where they inform us that the short animated film influenced ‘A BUG'S LIFE’ and offer a few laughs as well. Synopsis: The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Short that served as an classic fable, where a grasshopper plays his fiddle and lives for only the moment, while the industrious ants squirrel away and store massive amounts of food for the winter. With his song, the grasshopper is able to convince at least one small ant until the Queen arrives and scares him back to work. The Queen warns the grasshopper of the trouble he will be in, come the harsh winter. Winter finally arrives, and the grasshopper, near starvation, stumbles across the ant’s home, which are having a full-on feast in their snug little tree. They take him in and warm him up. The queen tells him only those who work can eat so he must play for them, which is very happy to perform.
Audio Commentary with John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich: Here we have a very informative and interesting audio commentary in which director John Lasseter, Co-director/Co-writer Andrew Stanton, and supervising film editor Lee Unkrich. All three sat together for this running audio commentary, with screen-specific in-depth information. Unfortunately, I thought the three of them devoted too much time to praise for the animate computer generated film. In retrospect, they did seem happy with the product value and they let us know that, but I’ve heard many more gushing tracks over the last 10 years; and the filmmakers don’t go overboard in the happy talk department. They do offer an amazing amount of information about the creation of the film, however. John Lasseter tended to dominate the piece, but the other two do get to get in a lot of extra material as well. Virtually every facet of the production receives attention here. They chat about story and character challenges as well as the various technical domains. The audio commentary never slows down for a moment as they fill it with terrific details and notes. Overall, the audio commentary track seems lively and very informative, so fans should get a kick out of it, especially if you are a fan of ‘A BUG’S LIFE’ and finding out the in-depth information on how they went about producing this computer generated animation.
Special Feature: Pre-production [1998] [480i / 1080p] [1.37:1 / 2.35:1] Here we have five different individual segments, that is presented with an introductions by John Lasseter [Director], Andrew Stanton [Co-director], Darla K. Anderson [Producer], and Kevin Reher [Co-producer] and here is what you get to view: Fleabie Real [3:21]; Story and Editorial [4:43]; Storyboard-to-film Comparison [11:45] Research Documentary [5:24].

Highly Recommended!
