Media Ghouls Episode 163 - A Bug's Life

Published: Feb. 7, 2020, 4:34 p.m.

Take a journey into an insect's eye view of the world when the Media Ghouls review Pixar's A Bug's Life. With an all-star cast, a new score and original song by Randy Newman, and much of the team behind Toy Story, Pixar's sophomore effort is pretty mixed under a 2020 lens. However, it's important to note the competition and pressure the team was under given the recent Disney drama and the rushed production of the rival Dreamworks film, Antz. The context behind this movie's creation and what it spawned at the Disney parks is far more interesting than the movie itself, something Justin, Ian, Fernando, Heather, and Phil can't help but unanimously agree on. The story of how Spacey met Lasseter is told.
