Each year the ant colony makes "the offering" to the intimidating grasshoppers, until misfit Flik dumps it in the river. The grasshoppers give the ants one more shot, but Flik vows to find other bugs to help stop them... and ends up with a bug circus instead. -- Chris aka Tarkin

This is a great film, but it is aged more for kids. Adults will prolly find it boring, but it is still very well made. I loved it.

For some reason, bugs were the in thing this year. Although Pixar has made some outstanding films, I don't consider this a great achievement. It never resonated with me. The animation is still good - the story just doesn't work.

Released the same year as the superior "other bug movie" Antz. Good but not great.

We're Gonna Knock Them Dead

Dave Foley as an ant and Kevin Spacey as a demonic grasshopper: what more can a film buff want? Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Phyllis Diller and David Hyde Pierce, that's what! And...Whoop! Got em. This film had magnificent writing, great story, wonderfully colorful characters, and the best thing of all: it added a great amount of twist to a rather commonplace item: bugs.

Adults won't like it as much as kids

An excellent cast in a movie that is excellent for children, but a little boring for adults.

The computer animation is very well done, down to the smallest detail. Even though the characters are designed like typical cartoons, they are designed well.

For adults, the plot is a bit weak, but it works for children. This is a movie targeted to children

The script itself is well written and the entire cast is very believable in their roles.

This movie is typical Disney, despite the fact that it is not filled with the music Disney movies is known for. This movie doesn't need music however, the story works without songs sung by the characters.

Children will enjoy the colorful graphics and the jokes. Adults will enjoy the lessons the movie presents.

Another great Pixar title

I thought that Antz was really good because of the number of good actors, but this rival film from Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar did better business. Basically ants pick food for greedy grasshoppers, and disaster happens when Flik (Dave Foley) is responsible for ruining the offering. The grasshopper leader, Hopper (Kevin Spacey) with his gang give them till the end of summer to try and gather food again. Flik decides to leave the island, with Princess Atta's (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) permission, to find warrior bugs to fight the grasshoppers, and to his disbelief, what he brings back is a bunch of circus clowns. These are Slim (David Hyde Pierce) the stick insect, Heimlich (Joe Ranft) the fat German caterpillar, Francis (Denis Leary) the ladybird, Manny (Jonathan Harris) the magician bug wi...
