Review of A Bug's Life (1998) by Bradly M — 12 Apr 2011

A fairly run-of-the-mill story, peppered with enough unusual perspective and little bits of pure Pixar genius to somehow become something much more. Although the animation hasn't aged particularly well, an ambitious scale and a knack for breathtaking compositions provides ample compensation.

Great voice acting from an all-star cast, a few good jokes for every age range and a plot that's simple enough to draw anybody in, but deep enough to snag them for the duration. It doesn't hold up against Monsters, Inc.

or The Incredibles, but it certainly makes for good company.
