I gotta admit. There is a LOT of good points in this entry.
As much as I enjoyed A Bug's Life as a kid, I didn't realize a lot until I was older.
I mean, she can just banish him later, after they chase away the grasshoppers. But no, she kicks out the only chance they have for freedom and dooms her entire colony, simply because she was pissed off at her boyfriend."
^This, very much. I felt so bad for Flik when that happened.
What was much more interesting was the friendship between Flik and Dot. Dot was the only one who believed in him, even going so far as to break him out of his BSOD.
That's exactly why Dot is my favorite character. Now that I think about it, maybe there should have been a scene/moment when Atta and Dot actually bonded. They're sisters, but we never saw them have any 'sister' time.
My favorite scene in the movie has to be when the Blueberries were performing the play in honor of the "warrior bugs." The gory "tribute" painting, the circus bugs watching in horror at the graphic performance, and finally
( ... )
I agree, I liked Dot a lot. It would've been interesting to highlight the contrast between her and Atta's personalities, but alas.
Now that I think about it, maybe there should have been a scene/moment when Atta and Dot actually bonded. They're sisters, but we never saw them have any 'sister' time.
It would've given Atta much better character development too. :o
I forgot to mention, I also liked the part where Flik gave Hopper The Reason You Suck speech. That was the Crowning Moment of Awesome I've been waiting for.
I haven't seen Antz in years, so I can't make a fair review of it, haha. XD
