Summary: This is the only thing my son will watch
Review: This was one of the first two movies we bought when we got our DVD player. My son absolutely loves it. When we first got it he would watch the beginning but he would get scared when Hopper would show up and cry so we would skip over any part that had grashoppers in it. At 12 months he sat through the whole thing from beginning to end. There is absolutely nothing else in the whole world that can hold his attention like this movie can. We try not to let him watch too much now though because although he still can't really talk too much he actually qoutes and acts out scenes in the movie. One day while Dot was acting out their play and she said the words die, die, die, in between each word I heard a little echo. When she screemed when she was falling, I hear another. When Hopper shows up I hear a little voice saying bad, bad, bad. I go look into the room to see my 15 month old son talking to the TV. He would watch it every day if we would let him. Both my wife and I have it memorized too now. It was a really good movie about the first 10 times I saw it but I wish I could get him to try something else. We have almost every Disney video there is, but this is the only one that he wants.

Summary: What a DVD should be
Review: Okay, so i preffered AntZ, and i keep expecting to hear Woody Allen every time the hero speaks. But this is a lovable film. I don't think it is that suitable for very young children as a friend of mines kids will attest. The DVD is full of stuff and the quality is perfection. Hope they keep up high standard they have set when it come to reslease there other works.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Head and shoulders above Antz
Review: Pixar's A Bug's Life is the true king of the insect movies. And it's one of the best animated films Disney has produced since the first Toy Story.

The storyline is far better than that of Antz, as is the animation, color scheme and vocal talents. An A+ movie all the way, and one that adults can enjoy every much as the kids.

This Special Edition dvd is by far the most feature rich dvd I've yet to see. If people are wondering just how a movie like this gets made, all of your questions, and then some, will be answered in full.

And no matter how many times I see them, I just have to LOL @ the two sets of outtakes. An all around great package for your money!

Summary: A Kurosawa Copy for the Kids!
Review: _A Bug's Life_ is a great animated film, and, although it was marketed largely to children, has anyone other than me drawn a parallel from this movie to Akira Kurosawa's _Seven Samurai_? It is nearly an exact imitation, from the farmers (ants) being bullied by the roving troop of bandits (grasshoppers) to the farmers' (ants') search for samurai (bodyguard insects) to the climatic battle scene. Of course, _A Bug's Life_ is modified to suit the innocent, impressionable minds of children, so there are no severed limbs or dead grasshoppers (bandits) lying about.

If you are an adult and enjoyed _A Bug's Life_, see Kurosawa's epic _Seven Samurai_ (as well as his other wonderful films!).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: K.I.S.S.
Review: Keep It Simple Stupid.

Storyline: Sometimes the simplest story line is the best. A must have DVD for children and adults(who must be reminded that we were children once & must fight for what we believe in). As adults, take a good look at the world we live in. How many "Hoppers" do we see out there?

Eye Candy: Amazing computer generated images. Lighting, textures, shadows, etc down to the last detail, is a pure joy to watch. A must have for the DVD owner even if you do not have any children. Nice going Pixar!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertaining for kids and adults!
Review: A Bug's Life is entertaining for kids and adults alike. This movie is a non-stop action fest that has been masterfully captured on DVD.

The picture quality if superb, if not the best I've seen, for an animated DVD due to the direct digital to DVD transfer. In full screen mode, you will be amazed how clean and delineated the picture is; the detail is incredible!

My big surprise was how amazing the sound is on this disc. You can use this to show off your Dolby Digital sound system to friends just as well as any action film. The surround effects are crisp and the bass is well defined.

My only complaint would probably be that the action and sound is so non-stop, that it can tire out adults, albeit mesmerizing children the whole time.

The extras are plenitiful and well done. The inclusion of the end-title outtakes is the highlight of a wonderful special edition disc you're sure to enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny for all!
Review: One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time! I saw it first in the movies and was impressed with the dual levels of humor running simultaneously! The kids would laugh and then the adults would laugh; at different things! It seemed that Pixar and Disney KNEW that parents must sit through these movies and went out of their way to entertain the WHOLE audience. The "outtakes" at the end are not to be missed! The animation is fabulous and makes the cast come "alive"! I have recommended this movie to all my friends; with or without kids. A must-have for any video collection.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Small as a bug itself......
Review: Crap. Boring. Stupid. A Bug's Life deserve's no praise. Apart from it's excllent cast (Dave Foley, Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus) the whole film is pointless and silly.

There is this bug called Flik who goes out looking for more bugs to help him save the colony from giant grasshoppers. And what has he got around him?

A Bug's Life is no good, trust me. It isn't "marvellous" , "wonderful" or "lovely" - it is just STUPID!

Antz isn't any better either.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My son's favorite
Review: We've only had this movie since Xmas 1999, but my son has almost the whole movie memorized, and he's only 2 1/2 years old. Whenever he watches it, he mimics virtually the whole movie, scene by scene, movement by movement. And not just one character. He just loves the action, and so do his parents (us). The graphics are superb and even the facial expressions are fantastic. The characters' movements match up pretty well as to how the actors would actually look like if it were a real life movie. Great movie for all ages. I would recommend anyone to get this movie, whether or not you have children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Bugs didn't Bug Me
Review: I got A Bug's Life free with my iMac DV, and boy do I love it!

way to go pixar! way to go Apple!
