A thoroughly enjoyable production from Disney and Pixar.

<em>'A Bug’s Life'</em> cobbles together nice animation, fun characters and a memorable voice cast. The premise is entertaining, as the film flies through its 95 minute run time. The score is pretty solid, also.

Dave Foley is good in the role of Flik, while Kevin Spacey is actually great as Hopper; shame about the actor himself, obviously. There's a load of other noteworthy members of the voice cast, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Atta), Hayden Panettiere (Dot), Bonnie Hunt (Rosie) and John Ratzenberger (P.T.) as well as many others - one of the studios' best casts.

I suppose we could have guessed from Randy Newman's wild west type opening theme that we were in for something... just not, maybe, an insect version of the "Magnificent Seven"! The ants slave away day in day out to pick a harvest that they leave as an offering for the marauding grasshoppers. Thing is, the enthusiastic (and annoying) "Flik" likes to try his hand at inventing things and after creating his own type of combine harvester finds himself left above ground and managing to tip the assembled food down a hole in the ground. Needless to say the hungry bugs aren't happy - they vow to return after the next harvest and woe betide the ants if there's not a feast awaiting them. The Queen and her daughter "Princess Atta" know they've no hope, so when "Flik" offers to ride far and wide to ass...
