Antz


Which started development first Antz or A Bug's Life? Did Dreamworks decide to do an ant movie because Pixar was or did Pixar decide to do an ant movie because Dreamworks was? Or was it simply a coincidence that both happened to be doing movies about ants at the same time? Does anyone know?

reply

Pixar first then Dreamworks.

I don't want to be rude, but that only answers part of my question. Also, I would like to see a reliable source with your answer please.

reply

You are rude and he did answer your question, Pixar was first. So that means it was not Dreamworks and it was not a coincidence.
If you're curious about proof, call the PR firm for Pixar and Dreamworks.

At least the ants in Antz had six legs and not four. But A Bug's Life is so much better.

perhaps you should have changed your tagline, op? no offense.

Pixar first.

Dreamworks got wind that Pixar’s next was A Bug’s Life and cynically rushed Antz into production to bring it out first, and loaded it with one of the best casts in the history of cinema - Woody Allen, Stallone, Hackman, Walken, Sharon Stone etc etc… but it had a poor script and the animation was crude and lazy.

A Bug’s Life took the time to do it right and made a modern classic, superior in every way.

I don't think it's a classic. No one talks about it. Having said that, I love it and think more people should talk about how good it is.
