Fun fact: A Bug’s Life is technically a retelling of another story. A very old story, in fact. Specifically, the movies Magnificent Seven, and of course, Seven Samurai. They both have the same story. A village of defenseless farmers are being terrorized by an army of bandits and brigands. And one of them sets out to find a group of warriors, usually seven, to help the villagers fight and defend themselves against their enemy.

The movie's premise is the fable of the ant and the grasshopper taken to extremes: there isn't just one lazy grasshopper here, but a whole gang of nasty thugs, led by a sociopath 😬 The movie's main theme is rebellion against oppression; it takes just one person to take the first step, and everyone else will stand up for themselves. Flick telling Hopper off was the push the rest needed to rebel; he was essentially voicing their thoughts.

6:51 actually after some research I think ants eat grasshoppers, and grasshoppers eat plants and dead insects also the Pizza Planet Truck and A113 are seen in most Pixar films. John Ratzenburger (voice of PT Flea and Hamm the piggy bank) has voiced in every Pixar film from Toy Story (1995) to Soul (2020). Some of his voice roles are harder to spot than others, the reason he has voiced in that many films is Ratzenburger was (and possibly still is) considered Pixar's good luck charm.
