A Bugs Life is a computer animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution in the United States on November 25, 1998, in Australia on January 12, 1999 and in the United Kingdom on 5 February 1999. Its also the second Disney/Pixar feature film. It tells the tale of an oddball individualist ant who hires what he thinks are "warrior bugs" (actually circus performers) to fight off greedy grasshoppers. The film was directed by John Lasseter.The story of A Bugs Life is a parody of Aesops fable of The Ant and the Grasshopper.

It is similar to the comedy ¡Three Amigos!, which is about out-of-work actors defending a town while thinking theyre merely giving a performance. It also gives an obvious nod to Akira Kurosawas Seven Samurai (as well as its Hollywood remake, The Magnificent Seven), which is about Japanese villagers hiring a rag-tag group of swordsmen to fight off rampaging bandits.Reviews for A Bugs Life were overwhelmingly positive at the time of the films release, and it has remained popular since.Plot synopsis Flik is an oddball, an individualist and would-be inventor in a colony of ants that is oppressed by a gang of Mafia-like grasshoppers, who arrive once a season demanding food from the ants, in return for supposed protection from "bigger bugs." While working with an invention to pick fruit more efficiently, Flik accidentally destroys the offering that the ants were putting together to appease the grasshoppers. Given a temporary reprieve by the grasshoppers, the ants agree to Fliks plan to recruit "warrior bugs" to fight off the grasshoppers—Flik actually believes the plan, while the other ants see it as a way of effectively exiling Flik.Flik finds his way to the "city" (Garbage under a trailer), where he mistakes a group of recently fired circus performers, whose act collapses into chaos, for the warrior bugs hes seeking. The bugs, meanwhile, mistake Flik for a talent agent who wants to book their act, and agree to travel with him back to Ant Island.Flik eventually realizes his mistake and develops a new plan. He advocates building a fake bird to scare away Hopper, the leader of the grasshoppers, who is deeply afraid of bug-eating birds. The ants unite behind Fliks plan until the circus ringmaster, P.T.
