I liked all the circus bugs, they were the highlight of the movie for me. My favorite by far was Rosie. I loved the scene when she is discussing all her past husbands with a random crowd ant, that part made me laugh out loud.
I wonder what happened to the others. (In a deleted scene, she says her first husband died of high blood pressure, who was confused for her fifth husband, who Rosie corrects her with her eighth).
That’s right! The western black widow very rarely eats their mate after mating, that behaviour is much more common in the Australia’s redback spider. Black widows have such a bad reputation. Their venom isn’t as deadly as people believe it to be either. Life threatening reactions are usually only found in small children, people with weak immune systems, and the elderly. Female preying mantises, on the other hand, often eat their mate. Maybe that’s why Manny married a butterfly…
I love the idea of there being some really interesting backstory as to how they all got together in the first place. I bet it would make a great series of shorts if Pixar ever were to revisit A Bug’s Life. So true about the family thing as well, they’re so tight-knit despite their differences.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking! This would probably be exactly what A Bug’s Life needs to be “rediscovered” and truly appreciated again by audiences.
You know, maybe if they made A Bug’s Life in 3D and showed it again in theaters, it would be a success…and if John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton got together to make those “character backstories”, they could be added on along with the bloopers at the end of the film! LOL!
I know that’s wishful thinking, but it’s still an idea!
