( originally a response to a movie reviewer who say a bug life be too much and too fast he be daze and exhaust by the visuals and and seem to ignore the story completely ) okay and first off and i be 26 year old and have a job and go to school and and have a fiance . so maybe i be nut and just really good at hide it . but not only do i not come away from a bug life exhaust or daze and it wasn not until i saw it the second time that i could even begin to truly appreciate the artistry and humour of the spectacular visuals because the first time i go to see this movie and i get so wrap up in the story and the character that i forget that i be suppose to be sit there be wow by each frame visually . how can you not empathize with flik and his road to heck pave with good intention life . heck indeed and i find myself identify with that little ant ( not to mention some of the other bug ) in a lot more way than one . and that and in itself and say more to me about what an incredible movie this be than a whole book on it beautiful eye candy . of course and it beautiful ( every blade of grass and the tree and the rain . ) . of course and what they can do with technology be amazing ( you can read their lip . try it . ) . but this movie be not just a masterpiece of art and tech and not just an dazzling explosion of movement and color . no and a bug life would be static if it be all that and no story . but and i be glad to say and it not . a bug life have real heart . yes and there a lot go on and storyline wise as well a visually and but that because the story and character actually have some depth to them . just because it a kid movie doesn not mean you should have to turn off your brain at the theatre door kid be smart than you think . besides that and i think that the pixar crew make this for themselves and even before their kid . and it show and in the amount of heart in have . this movie be move and touch and funny and intriguing and and generally engross . the character development in such an ensemble cast be amazing and there a major amount of character growth and and not just of the main character so rare in animation and often in movie in general . it doesn not hit you over the head with it point once it make them every scene and every frame have a reason in the storyline for be there and and there be no gratuitous shot . not always state explicitly in word exactly what be go on mean subtlety and to me and folk while it mean not dumbing down your movie and assume the audience be stupid and which it mostly be not . all i can think be and if you can see a bug life and not feel anything at all and then you must have never make a big mistake and hurt your friend and have a crush and fall in love and be frustrate that no one would listen to you and lie to someone you care about and felt like a social misfit and gotten excite over a new idea and come up with a great idea and have what you think be a great idea backfire and be awkward one moment and confident the next and felt the pressure of responsibility and stand up for yourself and your loved one and stand alone against the crowd and felt like a failure and felt like a big success and felt the need to make a difference with your life in the life of others . well and you get the point . final word represent a plus rating from me while please and if youre go to see it try to see it in the theatre ( pan and scan video be not go to work for this movie ) while if you love toy story you will most likely love this ( pixar know how to make movie with heart ) while if you do love it see it multiple time or you still would not know what youre miss ( the amount of detail and subtlety here be considerable ) while and whenever youre feel really low and just pretend it a seed and okay .
