The bug city is located beneath the trailer which is also the same trailer in Monsters Inc. when Randall gets banished into the human world. So in Monster’s Inc, we hear the accents of the residents there, so I’m assuming that that accent might give a clue to where about’s they might be?
It might be Rhode Island, because the island is out in the middle of the water and pretty small, and “The Big City” is pretty close (in human terms) to Ant Island.
I’ve also thought about Texas as the location. I was stationed at Fort Sill in Southwest Oklahoma and often crossed the Red River into Texas. The settings in “A Bug’s Life” look remarkably like the whole Texhoma area. But who would want to set it in Oklahoma when Texas is more popular. Besides, Grasshoppers are too small to fly from their hideout in Mexico to Oregon, but Texas is right there. I was thinking more like Central Texas, between Austin and Kileen. That’s were Ant Island must be.
Well in The Pixar Story, they said they had used the 1 inch bug-cam, which they used to get an idea of what an ant’s perspective was, in their own garden… I suppose you could base it off of Pixar’s lawn!
Oh no, Tiny URL did it again!! JK JK
From th evidence collected, Ant Island sounds like it IS somewhere in the South West. But again, I don’t think it’s supposed to be any location in particular, just inspired by that location.
Alright, there it is. That’s a good argument right there. It looks a little over grown but none the less it’s still a decent posibility. Never thought it would be closer to Huston though. I stick with Central Texas, but I won’t rule that one out. Thanks.
