"Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers. I've seen these ants do great things! And year after year, they manage to pick enough food for themselves, and you! So who's the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! We're a lot stronger than you say we are. And you know it... don't you?"

"A Bug's Land" (stylized "a bug's land") was an area of Disney California Adventure themed after Pixar's 1998 film A Bug's Life. The land consisted of Flik's Fun Fair, which opened on October 7, 2002, and was set in a representation of the film's fictional universe with four rides targeted towards young children; Flik's Flyers, Francis' Ladybug Boogie, Tuck and Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies, and Heimlich's Chew Chew Train. The area also included a water play area targeted towards young children. An outside area contained the It's Tough to Be a Bug! theater, which was an original area of the park when it opened on February 8, 2001. The area closed on September 4, 2018 to make way for Avengers Campus.
they had A Bugs Life themed attractions at disney parks for almost 20 years, this weird conspiratorial crap is lingering in THEY dont want you to know! crao, hollywood movies arent going to save you.
The movie ends with the big bad grasshopper getting eaten by a bird, something totally out of the hands of the ants.
if you sincerely think A Bugs Life didnt have it's cultural moment you werent conscious in 1998.
Not so much
There were theme park rides and merchandise

But the Disney World show was recently replaced with Zootopia.
So furry copaganda
The movie about how the crack epidemic was manufactured by the state?
I mean that’s less a conspiracy and more the march of time.
Obviously they’re pushing the newer stuff more.
They also replaced Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Pretty sure that's because it was decades old rather than some political commentary
Bruh… never stand in the way of a meme meant to manufacture outrage. Rookie mistake. The kids get super mad when nuance enters the chat.
There was a whole bugs life area of Disney land in California around 2015 I think.
More than one person has told me their class consciousness started with an Ant's Life.
Antz or A Bug’s Life?
Idk I didn't see these movies, it might be thanks for the correction if so.
I am already very enthusiastic about, uh, nevermind.
They came out close together and both featured ants as main protagonists. A Bug’s Life is the one pictured.
I find it neat from a psychological standpoint the way your brain merged the two titles into one.
Yes.
(I only saw Antz but not A Bug's Life, and just sort of assumed Antz had the more subversive social message because it wasn't Disney.)
Definitely. The collective workers rise up against the militaristic ruling class, after, of course, those rulers attempt to murder them all for their 'glorious future'. Unfortunately, Antz and A Bug's Life also share something else in common. Both star sex pests in the leading role.
Everyone remembers this movie for the 'workers rise up'.
I rememeber it for the shitty cliche 'liar revealed' story. I remember it for the nasty, mean spirited 'humour'.
I remember it for the transphobic 'joke' that they just loved to use in all the trailers. ("Yikes! She's a guy!")
I remember this movie for starring a fucking pedophile.
This movie is ass and deserves to be forgotten.
I thought you were mixing up this movie with Antz, because the pedo Woody Allen is in that movie. I didn’t realize Kevin Spacey is in Bug’s Life.
Because individualism is pop, not collective action like whatever the ants are doing
Ants are only allowed when they push a pro-conformist capitalist message, such as with The Ant and the Grasshopper
Uhhhh... if poopulism sold merchandise Disney will set up shop in your asshole.
I imagine they may one day make it more realistic like Lion King and absolutely trash the message.
Se also: seven samurai, samurai 7, the magnificent seven...
I never liked movie tie-in games, but there was a version of A Bug's Life on PS1 that somehow ended up in my household growing up, and it was pretty darn good.
Perhaps because it stars a famous pedophile
Well before those accusations came out. At least take solace in the fact he played the bad guy, thus art imitating foreshadowing life again.
(Assuming you're referring to Kevin Spacey.)
Sure, I’m just saying that might be one factor in why they’re not exactly eager to promote the movie these days.
Spacey's rapey ass tried to play the gay card when the allegations came out, like that would make it ok. He got buried, fuck that guy.
