Top CriticIt's easy to go along for the ride, be immersed in this magical world on the wide screen, laugh at the repartee and relate to the action.

Top CriticWhat A Bug's Life demonstrates is that when it comes to bugs, the most fun ones to hang out with hang exclusively with the gang at Pixar.

Top CriticThe best ant colony movie of the year!
01/01/00
Top CriticThough not as deep, philosophical or vocally star-studded as Antz, Pixar's insect nation is every bit as eye-popping, and kids who don't love it are very likely to become zealous members of some future Trenchcoat Mafia.

Top CriticLasseter and Pixar broke new technical and aesthetic ground in the animation field with Toy Story, and here they surpass it in both scope and complexity of movement while telling a story that overlaps Antz in numerous ways.
