It's Tough to be a Bug! FULL SHOW at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Discover what it’s like to be a bug during this 3D film and live show inspired by the Disney•Pixar film A Bug’s Life.
See the world from a bug’s point of view with a little help from Flik inside the great Tree of Life.
Meander along a winding pathway-past tangled roots, unfurled branches and detailed animal carvings-to the base of the Tree of Life, the symbol of Disney’s Animal Kingdom park. Venture inside and receive a pair of 3D glasses before taking a seat inside the approximate 430-seat Tree of Life Repertory Theatre.

This ride is SO slept on. Easily one of the scariest rides in the parks

[@randyhaberer8872]

OMG YESS SO SCARY

[@YourAverageSoup]

That’s why I hate it I hate the smell of the stink bug and the BEE STING AND BASICALLY ALL THE EFFECTS

[@inicko107]

Really this was scary?

When I was 6 years old my family went to Disney and saw this show! We were terrified by the show and came out screaming when the spiders dropped from the ceiling. On the way out without us saying a word one of the show attendants goes “the spiders? Gets em every time”

[@TheHesK9]

I actually found this to be pretty fun. I went in thinking it would be designed for little kids, but it is actually quite enjoyable!

[@randyhaberer8872]

IT IS NOT

[@IndriidaeNT]

I can’t wait for the Zooptoia 3D Show and I can’t wait to watch it at Animal Kingdom and I also hope that aside from Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, Gazelle, Chief Bogo, Clawhauser, Duke Weaeselton, Fru Fru, Finnick, Flash, Priscalla and the Lemmings appearing it in, I really hope the Otterton family and Sam and Brianca, Mandy, Christine, Charisma and Tru Tru will appear in it as well and solve the franchise’s biggest mystery: Are Nick x Judy and Clawhauser x Gazelle romantic couples or what? I also hope it will introduce a new villain that will be an improvement over Bellwether and not be a generic doomsday villain but a villain with a more clearer approach behind his or her goals.

[@IndriidaeNT]

I also can’t wait to visit the Avengers Campus, Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy attractions and Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in DisneyLand don’t you?

[@mjcrafton]

This is one of the best rides and gives me so much memories and nostalgia

[@ontheinternetnooneknowsyou2764]

Oh god this just brought up some suppressed trauma 😂 I remember being all curled up in my seat, holding my ears closed because all the spray, wind burst...those acorns flying at my face were just freaking me out.

I absolutely loved this show it’s super funny and creepy at the same time, A Bugs Life is my second favorite Pixar Film! It’s definitely nice that the theater as Air Conditioning to escape the Florida heat!! :) :) :) A Bugs Life deserves a lot of love, support and recognition too as well as a sequel too!! Please Disney Pixar Make A Bugs Life 2 ❤️❤️ A Bugs Life is part of the Disney family too!! ❤️❤️🥰 Please Disney bring back Flik and Princess Atta and bringing The Circus Bugs into Animal Kingdom as well !! The other Disney parks!!! :) :) :) ❤️❤️❤️ I think what would be very cool is for A Bugs Life next milestone anniversary celebration, There should be a special event and maybe It’s Tough to be a bug to get The Circus Bugs added into the Show Segment!!! That I think would be pretty cool !! 🤩🤩🤩🤩👍😉🤗🤗

[@clevermariobros8307]

I like how this is for kids if I was a kid I would be terrified

[@blackqweenmars]

I’m 17 and it freaked me out, not because I’m afraid of spiders or bugs, but because the air and objects that looks like they were hitting me really surprised me

[@IndriidaeNT]

This is so cool, I never went on this ride in person before it was replaced by the Avengers Campus, Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy attractions in DisneyLand and Zooptoia 3D Show in Animal Kingdom in DisneyWorld but its still awesome and I hope the Zooptoia 3D Show and Avengers Campus, Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy attractions in DisneyLand and Animal Kingdom will all be awesome too.

Y’all actually got to be there to experience it. This recording does not compare to actually being there and while you might not think this recording is scary, when you’re not expecting the water and air and smoke in your face, it is.

Saw this yesterday. I heard people saying it was scary and I was like there’s no reason it could be scary until the special effects in 3-D made it feel like something was actually coming at me and it was a jumpscare. Looks like it was jumping out the screen. I’m almost a legal adult 💀
