Every year, a bunch of grasshoppers come to the anthill and eat what the ants have gathered for them. The "offering", as the ants call the ritual, is a part of their fate. One day in spring, when the offering's preparation has just been finished, Flik, unliked inventor ant, accidentally drops the whole offered seeds into the river. The grasshoppers come and give the ants a second chance to collect food until fall. Flik sets off to find bugs that are willing to fight the grasshoppers (nobody expects him to succeed anyway) and, due to a double misinterpretation, returns with a circus crew, giving everybody new hope. When the misunderstanding finally gets cleared out, there is only little time left for a new plan, which has to work, or else...

Notes

Story Synopsis:
The animated fable from Disney and Pixar Studios, A Bug’s Life centers around a colony of ants who are terrorized by a flock of unruly grasshoppers who choose to carouse instead of gather food. This is an updated version of Aesop’s The Ant And The Grasshopper.

DVD Picture:
The 2.35:1 non-anamorphic DVD has been transferred from the original digital computer source material. The picture exhibits superb image quality in all aspects. The insects are vibrantly hued with exquisite detail and shading. The nighttime scenes are most impressive, appearing life-like with superior contrast and “shadow delineation.” The picture is solid with no noise or artifacts. Though detail is excellent into backgrounds, anamorphic processing would have provided finer resolution. What does Disney have to lose by anamorphically enhancing their DVDs?

Soundtrack:
The DVD’s 5.1 Dolby® Digital soundtrack fully utilizes the discrete palette for a spatially dimensional experience.
