Time to check out A Bug's Life released in 1998.

Flik (Kang Su-jin) is an inventive ant who's always messing things up for his colony. His latest mishap was destroying the food stores that were supposed to be used to pay off grasshopper Hopper (Lee Hyeon-seon). Now the strong-arming insect is demanding that the ants gather double the food -- or face annihilation. To avert disaster, Flik goes on a journey to recruit fighters to defend the colony. When he meets a band of high-flying circus insects, he thinks he's found his salvation.

So Bug’s Life Facts: 1. The box the P.T. Has the circus travel in is Casey Jr Cookies which is the name of the circus train in Dumbo, 2. The whole film is technically a new version of the Magnificent Seven where seven people come together to help an oppressed village that is always attacked for their food by a gang for protect from others and Magnificent Seven is in turn a remake of the Japanese film Seven Samuari and the grasshoppers are supposed to be like a motorcycle gang in this. 3. The film also is a take on the story of the Grasshopper and the Ants where the ants would do all the work and the Grasshopper didn’t help at all, 4. When Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney to start his own studio which would be Dreamworks he took the bug idea with him and made the copy film Antz, 5. Some of the voices in the film include one of Pixar’s story men Joe Ranft as Heimleich and Lenny the binoculars in Toy Story and Wheezy in Toy Story 2, Kevin Spacey is Hopper, while Hopper’s brother Molt is Richard Kind who was Bing Bong in Inside Out among several other Pixar films, Madeline Kahn in one of her last roles is the moth Gypsy, Brad Garrett who people know better as Ray’s brother in Everybody Loves Raymond is Dim, and in one of his last roles is Roddy McDowall as Mr Soil, Edie Mclurg who is Flora in this people also know from Little Mermaid as Carlotta, the lead voice of the blueberry scout ants is Ashley Tisdale and the voice of Dot is the voice of Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts games Hayden Panitierre, 6. So Randy Newman did the music for this film. He also did the music for the Pixar films of all the Toy Story movies, the first and third Cars films, and the Monsters Inc films, 7. The made up bloopers during the credits was the first time an animated films had mock bloopers in it. The next two films from Pixar would follow this that being Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc, The last thing I want to share is this was the first film I ever saw in theaters. Only my mom and I went to see it. The film was released in November 1998 and my birthday is December 23rd so I was only three when I saw it and some standout moments I remember were: 1) The crowd laughing at the short Geri’s Game, 2) Laughing at Hopper’s death, 3) Heimlich emerging with the tiny wings, and 4) the made up bloopers during the credits. Even though this film has two cliches I can’t stand one being the liar revealed and the third act moping scene. I think it is because this is the first film I saw in theaters that it doesn’t bother me as much as in other films. One thing though is I went to Disney World in 2003 at the age of 8 and we went to Animal Kingdom and inside the tree is a 3d attraction called it’s tough to be a bug and I didn’t know what to expect and was freaking out screaming and my mom took me out and calmed me down,

Also No, Disney didn't buy PIXAR until around 2006. Up until then they only Distributed their films and helped make them.

loving your reaction to this film, member watching it as a kid, still a great film even today

adding to these facts, Malt wasn't originally planned to be Hopper's brother, they added it in as a reason to explain why Hopper tolerates him, and despite Hopper being the older brother, the actor is in fact younger

Hey Tim, did you know that the mosquito at 30:36 is voiced by Rodger Bumpass, the VA for Squidward

Gotta thank Randy Newman for this film's score and song.
