A Bug's Life

Animated Feature Films

A Bug's Life is a 1998 American computer-animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures, directed by John Lasseter, its plot loosely inspired by Aesop's fable The Ant and the Grasshopper. It follows Flik, an unconventional ant voiced by Dave Foley, who recruits what he believes are warrior bugs to defend his colony from a gang of extorting grasshoppers led by Hopper, voiced by Kevin Spacey, only to discover his recruits are circus performers rather than fighters. It was Pixar's second feature film after Toy Story and helped establish the studio's pattern of pairing large-scale computer-animated set pieces with character-driven comedy.
