A Bug's Life

Go ahead

We drove ourselves crazy all through the movie trying to figure out who was the voice of Flick the ant, the main character. It's that guy Dave from the TV show NewsRadio.
Flick is the smartest ant in the whole colony. However, no one listens to his brilliant ideas and everyone basically shits on him from day one. I would have liked it if Flick took off on his own and let them all die, but you know this is a cartoon and that's not gonna happen.
After Flick is finally accepted he gets the princess for a girlfriend. Sounds nice, but she also thought he was a loser up 'til the last second when he saved their asses. Who needs a girlfriend like that?
The best part of the movie is Dennis Leary the ladybug. He is dainty looking and everyone keeps assuming he is a female. But Dennis has a real bad-ass personality and these mistaken identity episodes really piss him off! Those scenes are classic.
