NARRATOR: Every Pixar film involves a delicate balance between artistry, imagination and reality. In A Bug’s Life, artists had to decide how much “bug” to keep in the characters. Real insects have six legs – but the sympathetic ants have only four. And in the real world, those legs grow from the body part just behind the head. But in the film, the ants have legs coming out farther back – so they can stand up like humans!
