Silly me. I never saw this one during its run in theaters. It's one of those movies I always really meant to see, but never actually got around to it. Until now.

Like Pixar's other greats, it is a very fun film to just watch. An array of fun, playful characters cast in bright, vibrant colors with the charm to make anyone feel the wonder of being a child watching cartoons again. Bugs.

The plot structure itself is hardly original. The story of the outcast who becomes a hero to overthrow the oppressors is something we've all seen a million times in different variations, but seeing it done here in full color CGI with ants, grasshoppers, and the rag-tag insects from the circus was just enough to put a smile on my face.
