A Bug's Life Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Rebecca Long
Critics who write off A Bug's Life focus on the surface-level plot about Flik's individual perseverance ... But under this palatable veneer is a story about workers' rights.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A Bug's Life may be the single most amazing film I've ever seen that I couldn't fall in love with.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
This animated fable teems with vivid creatures standing on their own countless feet.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Cute animated tale with some mild peril and scary bugs.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Entertaining computer-animated fantasy epic.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
The plot matures handsomely; the characters neatly converge and combust; the gags pay off with emotional resonance.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Full of adventure, spectacle, light romance, and the kind of suspense that doesn't require an unpredictable outcome to make your spine tingle.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
One of the great movies -- a triumph of storytelling and character development, and a whole new ballgame for computer animation.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
What 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.
Austin Chronicle
Russell Smith
This breakneck-paced, understatedly clever, Disney/Pixar release wins in a split decision over DreamWorks' previously released Antz.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I enjoyed the use of animation to visualize a world that could not be seen in live action and could not be created with special effects.
Arizona Republic
Bob Fenster
Even more fun than Antz!
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Lasseter 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.

Peter Brunette
Entertaining and Enchanting!
Salon.com
Janelle Brown
More than anything, it just looks incredible. It's impossible not to be utterly blown away by Pixar's animation.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
The little kids' version of Antz: sweeter, funnier, simpler to follow.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
If this movie doesn't make you smile you may not know how.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Clever as it is, the film lacks charm.
Newsweek
Jeff Giles
The giddiest, most inventive family movie of the year!
