Top CriticThe plot matures handsomely; the characters neatly converge and combust; the gags pay off with emotional resonance.

Top CriticFull of adventure, spectacle, light romance, and the kind of suspense that doesn't require an unpredictable outcome to make your spine tingle.

Top CriticOne of the great movies -- a triumph of storytelling and character development, and a whole new ballgame for computer animation.

Top CriticThe Lawrence of Arabia of bug movies.

Top CriticWhat A Bug's Life demonstrates is that when it comes to bugs, the most fun ones to hang out with hang exclusively with the gang at Pixar.

Top CriticLasseter and Pixar broke new technical and aesthetic ground in the animation field with Toy Story, and here they surpass it in both scope and complexity of movement while telling a story that overlaps Antz in numerous ways.
