Note: This review contains spoilers for A Bug’s
Life.
Three years after the release of Toy Story (1995), Pixar released
their second animated feature, A Bug’s Life (1998), which also happened
to be the first film I had ever seen in a movie theater. Though critically
acclaimed at the time, it seems to have generally fallen off the radar in recent
years when the works of Pixar are discussed. The same rang true for us until we
caught part of a recent Disney XD airing and decided to watch the movie in full
through our DVD copy. Now that we’ve seen it all the way through again after
several years, it seems to have held up surprisingly well, though it’s also a
little rough around the edges.
