Journey inside the miniature world of bugs for bigger-than-life fun and adventure under every leaf! Crawling with imaginative characters, hilarious laughs and colorful, lifelike computer animation, Disney and Pixar's A Bug's Life will "delight everyone - young, old or six-legged."
On behalf of "oppressed bugs everywhere," and inventive ant named Flik hires "warrior bugs" to defend his colony from a horde of freeloading grasshoppers led by hopper. But when Flik's cavalry turns out to be a ragtag group of flea circus performers, the stage is set for comic confusion...as well as unlikely heroes!...
