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.
Joe Morgenstern
This animated fable teems with vivid creatures standing on their own countless feet.
Richard Corliss
The plot matures handsomely; the characters neatly converge and combust; the gags pay off with emotional resonance.
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.
Derek Adams
Pixel perfect.
Peter Stack
One of the great movies -- a triumph of storytelling and character development, and a whole new ballgame for computer animation.

Bugsy This is a well animated film who's strength is in its characters'. The film suffers from an at times contrived screenplay but still a good quality movie. If you want to watch the infinitely better and original story more or less of A Bug's Life, Ocean's Eleven, The Magnificent 7 and many more, watch Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.
Movie is gorgeous... but cannot play on google TV This is a gorgeous movie, so I wanted to play it on my 42" google TV. But the movie would not play on my google TV. Both the YouTube app and the web page were buffering, but did not play. The same movie could play on my nexus phone, though. So watching pleasure wasn't that satisfactory.
daughter loves it my little girl loves it... but i am sure google could put a movie with better quality than 480p... and my pc can stream 080p just fine, but it would stutter with 480p??? wtf??
Awesome Love this movie. I loved it as a kid. Now my kids love it
