There was such a magic on the screen in 1995 when the people at Pixar cameupwith the first fully computer-animated film, Toy Story. Their second feature film, A Bug's Life, may miss the bull's-eye but Pixar's target is so lofty, it's hard to find the film anything less thanirresistible.
Brighter and more colorful than the other animated insect movie of 1998(Antz), A Bug's Life is the sweetly told story of Flik(voiced by David Foley), an ant searching for better ways to be a bug. Hiscolony unfortunately revolves around feeding and fearing thelocal grasshoppers (lead by Hopper, voiced with gleeful menace by KevinSpacey). When Flik accidentally destroys the seasonal food supply for the grasshoppers he decides to look for help ("We need bigger bugs!"). The ants, led by Princess Atta (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), are eager to dispose of the troublesome Flik. Yet he finds help--a hearty bunch of bug warriors--and brings them back to the colony. Unfortunately they are just traveling performers afraid of conflict.
As with Toy Story, the ensemble of creatures and voices is remarkable and often inspired. Highlights include wiseacre comedian Denis Leary as an un-ladylike ladybug, Joe Ranft as the German-accented caterpillar, David Hyde Pierce as a stick bug, and Michael McShane as a pair of unintelligible pillbugs. The scene-stealer is Atta's squeaky-voiced sister, baby Dot (Hayden Panettiere), who has a big sweet spot for Flik.
More gentle and kid-friendly than Antz, A Bug Life's stillhas some good suspense and a wonderful demise of the villain. However,the film--a giant worldwide hit--will be remembered for its mostcreative touch: "outtakes" over the end credits à la manylive-action comedy films. These dozen or so scenes (both "editions" ofouttakes are contained here) are brilliant and deserve a specialplace in film history right along with 1998's other most talked-aboutsequence: the opening Normandy invasion in Saving Private Ryan.
The video also contains Pixar's delightful Oscar-winning short, Geri's Game. Box art varies. --Doug Thomas

- Blu-Ray adds even more sharpness, brilliant color!
This film was watched on a 42" Panasonic Plasma, and BD35 player.
As this is one of my favorite Pixar movies, I was very excited to finally see it on Blu-Ray. While the SD already flexes Pixar's animation brilliance muscle,the Blu-Ray is brighter, and even more sharp.
The story is well known, and the characters all heart-felt and adorable. The Blu-Ray is an upgrade in both sound and picture, with increased sharpness and subtelty in sound layers. Very enjoyable and a must ... Read More
Rating: - Didn't play with playstation 3
Bought and returned this disk twice before finding the trick for making it work with PS3. It would just go to a black screen forever on title 49. If you are having issues playing this disk on your PS3 just go to System Settings and Restore the defaults. You'll have to re-setup the date/time and a few other things but that will do the trick. Also when asked after entering the disk tell the system that you do NOT want to enable BD live connection. Disk plays fine after this.
Rating: - A pixar classic
Though Bugs Life wasn't quite as popular as its predeccesor and succesors, i think that bugs life is still one of the best films that pixar has created. the picture and audio quality are, as always, stellar! This is a must have for all who enjoy pixar, and just a good film for the whole family

Excellent release, really shows off what BD is all about.
A warning for overseas buyers, the BD is region free but the digital copy is not.
Totally recommended, pick it up asap.

Ok all you Blu-ray on the fence people.
If your wondering about the quality or difference in standard DVD or Blu-Ray,just pop this incredible looking and awesome sounding disc"A Bugs Life" into your BD player and sit back and be prepared for the "WOW" factor.
This is another reason why Disney prevails and has the best BD- discs out today.

This is High Defintion Entertainment at its best.
