A Bug's Life is a disappointment. Once again, Disney proves it is much better at building the trailer than the film. I say that because virtually all the funny stuff is in the trailer.

The film also has the problem that there are too many distractions from the main story, which by itself is really a one-reeler.

Finally, the computer animation is not on par with this summer's earlier CGI flick, Antz. A Bug's Life has been outdone. However, if you do see this film, do not leave until you see the out-takes in the closing credits. These were the best surprises in the film.
