Arts And Crafts For Kids - Key Stage 1&2 - Bug Off - The Insect World DVD

Advantages: a brilliant film, fun to watch for every generation
Disadvantages: not much extras on the dvd

..., Bonnie Hunt's maternal black widow, and Joe Ranft's endearingly gluttonous Bavarian caterpillar Heimlich), A Bug's Life largely succeeds on its character development. And, true to Pixar's impeccable form, the film is layered so thickly with visual, narrative, and humorous details that it offers ample rewards with repeat viewings. The dvd ~~~~~~~~ However, as the film is brilliant, the region 2 DVD of A bug's Life is just OK. For a real pleasure, A Bug's Life Collector's Edition is the one to get, but so far it's only available in region 1(if I'm not mistaken)-head down to dvdboxoffice.com or play247.com to get one today! Still, this DVD edition has been created directly from Pixar's digital source, producing one of the the clearest picture possible, and two viewing formats is available; original wide-screen and special full-frame, digitally...

Advantages: great extras, amazing picture quality
Disadvantages: takes an age to get through everything

The collectors edition of A Bugs Life has yet to see a Region 2 debut but has been available in region 1 for some time now. It comes as a 2 dvd set.

Advantages: Outstanding movie
Disadvantages: Has none

Disney continues to firmly hold the title of "Greatest Animation in the World", with "A Bug?s Life" standing as one of their greatest achievements. One of the innovative attachments being the delightful "out-takes" added to the end of the film. The DVD has two sets of these out-takes where as I?m told the VHS cassette has one alternating version per tape. The DVD also features "Gerry?s Game" which is a delightful little PIXAR short that was also shown prior to the film... Read review
