      Animation for all ages

      I found this movie by accident and showed it to my children, and it turned out to be a big surprise. It seems that a cartoon that is not very famous is so well done! Later, I watched it more than once, and it was dubbed by Taiwan, which felt pretty good.
          There are many details in the story that make people laugh, and at the same time, I can't help but admire the innocence and carefulness of its creator. For example, the fat caterpillar was really cute, but when it finally turned into a...

      Now the trumpet of innovation is blowing loudly, but I can't wait to innovate.

      I can only describe this film as infinitely creative. I really don't want to compare it with us, because there are too many reasons.
          Now the trumpet of innovation is blowing loudly, but I can't wait to innovate.
          If 100 people paint God, there will be 100 different forms of God. Can you imagine 30 years from now when the computer was still a 3-story behemoth and shrunk down on your desk in your home?
          At first it was just fantasy.
          I can't imagine what kind of...

      Start? Finish?

      In 1998, not long after Hong Kong returned to China, I was still a little kid, looking forward to the cartoons on the little black and white TV every day. At that time, there was such an animation. Twenty years after this film was made, I came across it.

      When watching the movie, I can't help but think of the habits of insects in reality, the embarrassment of the mystery.

      The faces of the ant princess and the male protagonist are very similar to the faces of the male protagonists...

      nonsense

      When I was young, I was in poor health and often infused fluids. In order to pass the boring time, my dad bought me a CD. At the time, I was illiterate, but I thought the little purple ants were cute. In my impression, this is the first animated film produced by Pixar that I have seen, and it is also the only animated film that I have watched countless times and still be moved by it. Because I moved several times, I don't know where the CD went, but the time, the feelings, the little kid in...

      bugs that summer

      I still vaguely remember that it was the summer of 2000. I had a DVD at home. I was excited to co-author and went to the rental store. The first movie that caught my eye was this Bugs Special Forces. It might be a pirated copy, the name I remember. It's ant mobilization.

      It was a great, good movie when I saw it. It looks different now when I look at it.

      Yes, its story is not novel enough. A maverick ant went to find help alone to fight the enemy of the ant colony. As a result, he...

    Movie plot

    There is a small island in a small pond in a remote and secluded world. Thousands of ants live on the island, so it is called "ant island". The ants on the island diligently use summer to gather food for the winter, but every year they are bullied by a group of grasshoppers headed by "Overlord". Year after year, not only have the ants become accustomed to it, they have not deliberately figured out a way to reverse the situation. One...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The originality of the film comes from the fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper".
    The two mosquitoes next to the insecticidal lamp were voiced by the film directors John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton.
    Dim's roar when scaring away the grasshopper is the same as the roar of T-Rex in the movie "Jurassic Park".

    Evaluation action

    The film can be described as a great movie, both in the control of the plot and the creation of the animated characters. As a computer animation, Pixar Animation Studios has taken this genre to an amazing height.  ("San Francisco Chronicle" review)
    "Bug Crisis" is an amazing animation work that can make movie viewers obsessed with it. The lens of the film with insects as the angle of view is unique, and every frame of the picture and...
