Shouldn't have Pixar made "A Bug's Life 2"?

I agree… I’m very content with leaving A Bugs Life just A and not Few Bugs Life… very awful pun there :confused: . I agree with Lizardgirl, that Hopper is one of the best Pixar villains and I loved his performance. You seen some of the fics on FanFiction that depict him surviving being devoured? This is a film I think should be left just as A film. The ending was very majestic I must say :slight_smile:.

I think they should just see what ideas they can come with for Bug’s Life 2 if there is in fact another one.

My theory about sequels is that you know a Pixar film won’t have a sequel when it ends with the words “The End”. A Bug’s Life, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille all ended this way cause they may have already felt that those particular stories did all that they needed to do. When they don’t end that way then maybe they leave the possibility open for a sequel, but aren’t under any pressure to do so. I think Wall-E should be another film that doesn’t need a sequel because once you return the entire human race to Earth and you know it’s going to be restored to it’s former state then what else is there that needs to happen?

I actually wouldn’t mind a sequel to A Bug’s Life though. I kinda felt bad for Flik and Heimlich in the bloopers for Toy Story 2 when they had to realize that it wasn’t their sequel.

Honestly, all the Pixar films deserve a sequel I think. This may sound odd, at the same time no Pixar film deserves a sequel as it is great by itself.

There is just one issue with Hopper. He was killed by the Canary during the rain storm chase.

The reason they won’t make A Bug’s Life 2 is because boy ants die young. What’s the use of the movie if Flik isn’t in it?

I don’t think that kind of realism is taken into account when making the film or thinking of reasons why not to make a sequel. I don’t think something like that would be the kind of thing that would weigh down the possibility of making a second A Bug’s Life film.

I honestly would like to see a prequel about how the circus bugs got together and the how and why Manny and Gypsy fell in love and married. And if we get to meet any of Rosie’s husbands :stuck_out_tongue: . It’s the only thing that I can really see happening, as far as ABL goes. It’s kinda hard to think of a really good villain, though. I’m not exactly sure WHAT would happen afterward. I am in the process of writing a fan fiction on what happens to the Circus bugs immediately after the ending, based on one I wrote years ago.

They’re also making a sequal for Monsters, Inc.
Maybe they don’t want to make sequals for resolved films, although that can be pretty wrong since Toy Story, Cars and MI were resolved and The Incredibles was perhaps not. DPA113 said some thing like Pixar only makes sequals if there’s a good story behind it in the topic about Monsters, Inc. It could also be that the sequal films (except Cars) have higher ratings.

no not really. i was satisfied by the end of A Bug’s Life.

There was/is more than enough characters to/to of created a sequel (like the Toy Stories, and unlike Wall E, it’s harder to make a remake with less lead characters - still be good though but not quite as much!!) but i guess the story ended on a high so there’s no real need to make a sequel, and it didn’t really leave the door open for a sequel, like Toy Story did. :smiley::smiley:

I so agree!!! I sort of alluded to this idea in your thread about the circus bugs via a Pixar Canada short.

A prequel film would be awsome though. Leave the ant hill and grasshoppers out and just focus on the circus bugs :smiley:

Maybe one of Rosie’s husbands could play the villain? It could be a good unifying factor to unite the group.

I agree with Wboon and Flick-E. Took the words right out of my mouth.

No. Bug’s Life is nearly the same as Toy Story 2 in brilliance and greatness, and it doesn’t need a sequel…

The Toy Story films all left the door open for a sequel. As said, the plot with Woody’s hesitation and anxiety about Andy growing up was the perfect way to continue it.

Monster’s Inc ended with the Monster World at peace, and Sulley able to see Boo again. That one beautiful, happy smile from Sulley said it all, and it doesn’t need a sequel. I really am a bit reluctant, since it was such a sweet ending, but Toy Story 3 proved Pixar won’t ruin a sequel.

A sequel to ABL seems ridiculous to me. Like Ratatouille, it’s one that’s good by itself. Leave it alone!! :smiley:

This is really random, but one time I had a dream that they made A Bug’s Life 2 and it was supposedly rated R for extremely scary and disturbing scenes, excessive amounts of blood and gore, and more. 8D It was really funny.

I think ABL is just fine the way it is. I have a problem with sequels that show up way past the time the first one was released (I admit, I was extremely cynical about TS3 when I first heard about it). I mean - look at Disney and Fox and the Hound 2 - Tod and Copper were little again. :confused: Tarzan 2… from what I heard, the second movie doesn’t even line up to it’s prequel. And how many more Cinderella movies do they need? You know what I’m sayin’? I think ABL ended perfectly well. :wink:

As much as i love a bugs life and all its characters i have to say it ended well besides if they did make a sequel what would ABL2 be with out heimlich in it and heimlich cant be in it since joe ranft passed so i say we dont need a sequel to ABL.

They’re making enough sequels. Besides, a sequel for this movie would make no sense. Even more, no one really remembers the first one. I love it, though. :smiley:

Its true no one remembers it and plus some of the cast have died so there is no point the only thing i see bugs life doing is mayb shorts with the circus bugs and thats only if they find someone who can do joe ranfts heimlich voice like he did it which i doubt they can do.

I hope they don’t make a sequel. Or if they do they do it for the right reasons. Not because they want to resurrect it, since it is usually the ‘forgotten’ movie. Unfortunetly, I like you a bug’s life!
