A Bug's Life

Animated ant movie

A Bug's Life is a 1998 Pixar animated film about an ant colony's conflict with grasshoppers.

The title plays on the phrase a dog's life, meaning a miserable existence.

References to the film often invoke themes of the little guy standing up to bullies, or the value of misfits and underdogs: It's giving A Bug's Life energy.
