Yet he finds help-a hearty bunch of bug warriors-and brings them back to the colony. The ants, led by Princess Atta (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), are eager to dispose of the troublesome Flik.
When Flik accidentally destroys the seasonal food supply for the grasshoppers he decides to look for help ("We need bigger bugs!"). His colony unfortunately revolves around feeding and fearing the local grasshoppers (lead by Hopper, voiced with gleeful menace by Kevin Spacey).

Their second feature film, A Bug's Life, may miss the bull's-eye but Pixar's target is so lofty, it's hard to find the film anything less than irresistible.Ä«righter and more colorful than the other animated insect movie of 1998 (Antz), A Bug's Life is the sweetly told story of Flik (voiced by David Foley), an ant searching for better ways to be a bug. There was such a magic on the screen in 1995 when the people at Pixar came up with the first fully computer-animated film, Toy Story. This is highly appropriate, for, as this collection attests, he remains one of the classic characters of the silver screen. The tape itself is bookended by clips featuring Popeye at an awards dinner populated by famous stars of stage and screen. Also included is the epic "Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," which both spoofs and honors the fantastic live-action desert adventures popular at the time of its release. Favorite episodes such as "Popeye for President" and "Taxi Turvy" retain their brilliance and inventiveness and can run side by side with today's cartoons. All the familiar characters-Bluto, Olive Oyl, Wimpy-make appearances and prove that certain antics never fail to entertain, even decades after their introduction. The color and texture are as bright and as clear as they would have been at their original theatrical release. The cartoons have been digitally restored with enhanced picture and sound, and feature new sound effects delightfully mixed with original dialogue. Everyone's favorite squinty-eyed, spinach-chompin' sailor is back in this collection of 12Â animated classics, which are quite humorous and, in typical Popeye fashion, strong to the finish.
