Can we just take a second and appreciate A Bug's Life? Call me crazy, but I can't see a modern Disney movie having a moral this...aggressive.

>aggressive

>basic defense that civilizations have needed to do since forever

It's a good movie with a great moral but I think it's common sense

Films today want to avoid three things that used to make these movies worth watching



Elements of darkness/dark imagery

Great charismatic yet hateable villains

Some elements of action/adventure

You should check out 7 samurai then OP

I never thought of this movie that way before. Pretty based now that you mention it

Bug's Life isn't really Disney. Pixar was still relatively autonomous during their 90s and 00s films. And that's part of the charm, in some senses. Not that I want to hate on Disney super bad, but Pixar were good because they were making original and well-made pictures with cutting edge technology in the time when Disney was good but still passe. Who wouldn't get tired of a bunch of wide-eyed musicals at a certain point? It's not a surprise that the Disney Renaissance ended with the arrival of CG becoming more and more popular. Pixar were simply better than Disney. I've always found the term Disney Renaissance weird, like it's implying that the old Disney movies were all musicals.

First worlders haven't had a war in a while so they've forgotten how their lives got so good and easy

You're interpreting the metaphor of the grasshoppers as an outside aggressor, anon.



I know that's what they LITERALLY are in the movie, but come on. Use your head.

A Bug's Life is awesome. I was surprised to find that a lot of people think it's one of Pixar's lesser movies. What issues does it really have?

I don't know, people were tired of ant movies I guess. There was this, Antz and Ant Bully...

A lot of people didn’t like the whole “liar revealed” plotline.

Granted, it might not be amazing, but it’s done better than than most that use the trope.

I prefer Antz.

I found out a lot of stuff I've always loved is disliked here. /co/ has fucking shit taste, don't take it personally.

I really love how the underground colony looks. Is there any cool production art for that?

Use my head for what?

The only good Pixar movie is The Incredibles.

Fuck off

You only like this movie because it's from Dreamworks and you want to pit it against Disney/Pixar films

Antz was good though

Other examples?

Not really

???

Anon, that's the main plot of the movie. The characters explicitly discuss this concept multiple times in spoken dialogue, than act on it. How the fuck did you miss it?

Movies today don't want to have a villain at all. They want every antagonistic figure to be well-meaning but closed-minded and in the end everyone talks it out and makes up and they forgive the "bad guy" for making everyone's lives miserable.

This movie gave me a lifelong love of both insects and unashamed “cringe but free” characters.

It's literally just a pixar Kurosawa movie

Movie is very unrealistic because it hinges on the idea that people will actually rise up against their oppressors.
