A Bug's Life 1998

A Bug's Life is a 1998 animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It's Pixar's second feature-length film after Toy Story and was directed by John Lasseter and co-directed by Andrew Stanton.🐜 Plot Summary The story centers on Flik, an inventive ant who lives in a colony under threat by a gang of bullying grasshoppers led by Hopper. After accidentally ruining the colony's annual offering to the grasshoppers, Flik sets out to find "warrior bugs" to help protect the colony. Instead, he unknowingly recruits a group of circus insects. Despite the misunderstanding, Flik and the circus bugs band together to inspire the ants to stand up for themselves.🎨 Animation & Legacy Known for its vibrant animation, A Bug’s Life was one of the first major uses of CGI in film after Toy Story. It competed with DreamWorks' Antz (also 1998), leading to a notable rivalry. It was a box office success and helped cement Pixar as a leader in animation.🍿 Fun Facts The film features a blooper reel during the credits, which was a novel and humorous touch at the time. Heimlich the caterpillar is a fan-favorite character and appears in Disney theme parks.💰 Box Office Performance A Bug’s Life (1998) achieved a global box office gross of approximately $363.3 million. This figure comprises $162.8 million from domestic (U.S. and Canada) earnings and $200.4 million from international markets. At the time of its release, the film was considered a commercial success, outperforming DreamWorks' Antz (1998), which grossed about $171.8 million worldwide. However, in the context of Pixar's later successes, A Bug’s Life ranks among its lower-grossing films globally. Despite this, the film's performance contributed to Pixar's growing reputation in the animation industry, paving the way for future hits like Toy Story 2 (1999) and Finding Nemo (2003).📺 Streaming Availability As of June 2025, A Bug's Life is available for streaming and purchase in various regions.
