2:42 -- One of my favorite moments of the film is how Francis simply keels over and faints at the end of the play the kid ants put on when they arrive at the colony and the trope realizes that the ants want them to actually fight grasshoppers. It is so funny as a simple understatement conveying their, "We're so screwed," reaction to finding out what they signed up for.

For some reason i kinda prefer hearing Denis Leary as Diego from Ice Age. Not that he's bad as Francis A Bug's Life but it's just that his voice kinda fits Diego more than Francis. I kinda feel that Francis looks too much like a lady. Whereas Diego has a more manly appearance than Francis. Francis looks like a lady. But that's a recurring gag with his character.

[@smurvin]

Yeah that's the point; also honestly he's not bad as Diego but if you've ever seen Leary's stand up act, Francis is honestly a more fitting character for him in that his persona is more angry and erratic like Francis than calm and collected like Diego.

None of this was made during this while annoying “woke pc” crap. This was just a simple play on words back in the day since he’s a “lady” bug, with a semi girly face.
