This movie is basically about a bug named Flik who is a really innovative ant. Even when his friends did not like his innovations, he still confident with himself to change their future. Actually, the ants were ordered by Hopper, the leader or the grasshopper community to collect food for them for winter. So Flik wanted to help his community by his awesome inventions. However, one day he made a mistake, causing all the food collected fall into the river. Hopper was really mad when he found no food for them but he gave the bugs another chance before the winter came. Flik was really guilty so he decided to search for warrior bugs to fight against the grasshoppers instead of serving them. Yes, he finally brought back some bugs before he knew that they were actually circus bugs. However, Flik's judicious idea worked with help of the circus bugs and others. They worked together to build a fake bird to scare the grasshoppers. Lastly, Hopper was eaten by a real bird and they lived peacefully forever.

It's a very interesting movie indeed. I eminently love it because I get to know more about how the life of bugs goes. As all of us know, they have their own queen and princess. I don't know this is true or not but the royal family of the ants as shown in the movie have their own wings! The bugs also had their own city, made up of trashes such as boxes and cans. So, don't litter if you don't want your place to be the city of bugs!

There are many lessons that I have learned from the movie A Bug's Life. One of the most important lesson, be INNOVATIVE! We should make Flik as an idol to demonstrate this lesson. In the modern days, it is really important to invent things to make life easier. Most of the inventors will actually get high demand, especially when the inventions are registered for patent. Do you know what is patent? When somebody's inventions already have patent, no one can copy their design, except they pay to the person. So, it is better to immediately register it once you figure out an idea before somebody else take it! Also, don't really care about the useless comments by people. You should be confident of yourself! Remember, if people are trying to bring you down, it only means that you are above them. Beginning with just a small seed, it can grow into an enormous tree which its fruit, leaves, branches and roots are beneficial for the creatures.

I believe this material is really suitable to Malaysians in order to achieve Wawasan 2020. The government encourages people to become innovative so that our country will be leading in the Science and Technology sector.

One main problem I encountered in this movie was bullies. In the reality, it often happens in schools where seniors bullied the juniors. In this movie, the grasshoppers act as if they were the most powerful bugs there. They forced the ants to find food for them, which is really cruel. I think they should organize a body to help against the bullies such as police. The police will catch and punish any bugs who act violently towards others.

Because of its interesting storyline and lessons, I really recommends this movie to people who haven't watched it yet. Eventhough it is an animation and published by Disney, not only children can watch it. Most animations are suitable for all ages and they are actually fun!

Surely I will watch this movie again because it is the best movie I've ever watched! The innovative Flik, the funny circus bugs, Princess Anna (which became Queen Anna at last) and all the characters really made me enjoy it! I hope that more movies like this movie will be published by Malaysians. :)

 

*Words I learned:
  1. Voila! -- There it is / There you are
        eg: "Let's walk straight on and, voila!"
  2. Bartender -- A person who mixes and serves drinks at a bar
       eg: The bartender is trying to run away from the drunken man.
  3. Ingrate -- An ungrateful person
       eg: We should not be an ingrate so that people will respect us.
