Review of A Bug's Life (1998) by Mitchell B — 07 Jun 2016

This tale about a colony of ants living in an island, in which they all act the same and are tyrannized by grasshoppers (it's actually based in an Aesop's fable, not in present day Cuba), that receives a group of fame-driven circus' insects is a frame by frame marvel, not only by its numerous revolutionary techniques on movement, lightning and animation but also due to a wonderful screenplay that shows the powerful duality of individuality and community, and that - at least in a bug's world with male ladybugs, fat German caterpillars and "eccentric" worker ants - every insect matters.

Maybe it's about Cuba, after all.
