A Bug's Life [DVD]

Product Information

These were used to make sure the film was on the right track and helped the filmmakers determine how they wanted to do things. Dialogue remained distinct and natural and suffered from no signs of edginess or problems related to intelligibility. The Ant Island section dominates this piece, with 95 of its 140 drawings coming from that area (which makes sense, since it's the main "location"). I didn't find these drawings to be as interesting as those of the characters, but they're quite compelling nonetheless. A fantastic movie that is often unjustly ignored when discussing Pixar films, A Bug's Life has never looked or sounded better.

He can't find a seed for his parable, so he gives her a small rock and tell her to imagine it's a seed.

The former area offers 36 drawings that were used to conceptualize various aspects of the film, whereas the latter covers 54 screens and is a little more difficult to explain. Hopper sounds pretty accurate, though a few spots make me wonder, but Francis does not sound at all like Leary to me.While the original set of bloopers still accompanies either version of the film, we can see both of them fullframe here without any intrusive text.

The filmmakers used a tiny "bug cam" to film the world from what seemed to be an insect's perspective; this segment shows us some of the results and includes narration. Added to that is a very tight script, one where every scene serves a purpose and is integral to the movie. Originally there was a whole segment in which he went over the issue with the circus bugs; the clip runs 99 seconds.The Collector's Edition of A Bug's Life was announced on November 12, 1999, and was released on November 23. The first section of the Pre-production subheading covers "story/editorial" areas, and it starts with Fleabie.

For the record, you can't watch each of these with either the fullscreen or widescreen images; the score accompanies the widescreen version - as does the commentary - and the effects go with the fullscreen rendition. Allegedly the very first “digital-to-digital” transfer, Life looked great back in 1999, and it hasn’t lost any of its magic with age.

One requires you to match basic shapes so Heimlich can eat watermelon, while the other tosses fairly simple trivia questions about the movie at you to let you find Francis.The absence of the museum scene is no loss, but the office segment might have worked; it has some funny stuff in it. First we got the original 1999 movie-only set, which was repackaged a year or so later as part of Disney’s “Gold Collection”. You can check out the latest overhauls that we have done on this wiki so far, as well as upcoming updates in our announcement post here. Both soundtracks offer a stunning multi-channel presentation which - given suitable equipment - will happily compete with anything that's released today. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

On February 1, 2003, a re-release was scheduled for May 27, 2003, with a little more bonus material (unlike in the 2000 Gold Classic Collection re-release). He's easy to relate to, and the deeper into trouble he gets the more you feel for him, especially since he has a kind heart. The two-minute and 12-second "flaming death" scene is used to demonstrate these stages, and you can easily flip from stage to stage by using the "angle" button on your remote.Del film in sé posso dire, ribadendolo, che credo sia uno dei più sottovalutati nel folto e in effetti straordinario panorama di capolavori prodotti da Pixar. Mastered directly from the digital source, the highlight for anyone who currently owns the original Region 1 edition is that this is released in anamorphic widescreen. Throughout DVD Two, most of the different areas include introductory video comments from various filmmakers. But when Flik's cavalry turns out to be a motley group of flea circus performers, the stage is set for comic confusion. This presents both reels of the hilarious "outtakes" from the end of the film - because of their popularity, a second version of these scenes was attached to the film three weeks after its initial release.
