Their second feature, A Bug's Life, may miss the bull's-eye, but Pixar's target is so high, it is difficult to find something in the film less convincing. Brighter and more colorful than the animation of other insects of 1998 (Antz), A Bug's Life is Sweet told the story of Flik (voiced by David Foley), an ant searching for better ways to be a bug. Unfortunately his colony revolves around feeding and fearing the local grasshoppers (lead by Hopper, voiced his threat of Gay Kevin Spacey).
