A Bug’s Life

Flik’s an ant sent on a mission to find warrior bugs to defend his colony from evil grasshoppers.

When I hear that Pixar was going to make another computer
animated feature, I couldn’t wait. I actually saw a trailer for this film
some time around April of this year. The subject matter couldn’t be
better. The only question I had was, could they pull it off again? They
did. *A Bug’s Life*, although no Toy Story in terms of its story,
delivers a wonderful tale full of adventure, thrills, and mind boggling
animation that sets a new standard for the industry.

##The Magnificent Seven

Flik’s ant hill is in trouble. Hopper’s (the evil grasshopper) annual
tribute of food has been lost, accidentally by Flik just moments before
Hopper shows up to collect. What’s an ant colony to do?

Flik comes up with what he thinks is a great idea. He’ll go out and find a
bunch of warrior bugs to come back and protect the colony.

Babe

Wonderful tale of a pig that yearns to be a shepherd. It’s amazing what can be accomplished if you put your mind to it.

##I’ll take my ham with a little cheese

So what’s the big deal anyway? There’s this pig. It talks. I
needs to learn how to herd sheep or it’s going to be Christmas dinner.
Nobody likes him (except the border collie that decides he needs a mother),
and all the other animals think he’s crazy. Not only that, everyone thinks
his owner, farmer Hoggett, is crazy too. So what’s a pig to do?
