A Bug's Life Movie Analysis

The movie that I chose for this analysis is called A Bug’s life directed by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton. This movie begins in a colony of ants that is by a tree. The ants are gathering food for the offering. The offering is when ants gather all the food they can before the season. This food is demanded by the Grasshoppers that are led by Hopper. They demand the food from the ants, because that is supposedly the payback they have to pay so that the grasshoppers will not hurt them. Princess Atta and the Queen led the colony and they have commanded the ants to get all the food they can for the Grasshoppers. On the other hand there is an ant that is different from all the other ants. His name was Flik. Flik was an inventor that invented a

He did not like that the ant colony had to work for the grasshoppers. He did not like that the Grasshoppers did not even do anything to earned that food. They did not even trade something for the food. Flik was tired of all that mistreat. This is an example, how some governments treat their nation with disrespect.

Flik says to Hopper, “these ants do not owe you anything’’, “We do not need you Hopper, and you know that.” After that, Hopper knew that he was in trouble. He should of made a fair agreement with the ants, but he decided that he wanted to control them. That was Hopper’s mistake.

We must learned from this mistake, that we should never be selfish. Hopper just wanted power and that’s what destroyed him. He should of made an agreement with the ants. We should also learned from Flik, that we must always stand for what we believe in. Flik stood up to hopper and save the colony. We as humans should do the same and stand up for what we believe in. We cannot let ourselves be controlled by other people. We must do what we want. We cannot let our friends, family or neighbors tell us who to be, because if we do what they say to do. Then,who will be
