a bugs-eye film guide
from the ant hill to the peach pit: explore a bug's life & James and the Giant Peach
Two films about the big world of little beasts. Two films about courage, friendship, and teamwork. Two films with a unique cast of characters and dastardly villains. Two films with the same composer. Two films retelling familiar stories.
You’d think with all these similarities they might feel redundant. But you’d be wrong. These films approach filmmaking, storytelling, and animating their casts of characters in completely unique directions. Let’s explore the worlds, character depictions, and style of a bug’s life and James and the Giant Peach.
