Her mother (Phyllis Diller) tells her to calm down, and consistently reassures her daughter. Once again, this first scene sets the perfect atmosphere for the ants, how they interact with one another, and how they live. Their queen-in-training Princess Atta (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who is a worryrat, and gets paranoid over every single detail. The story starts with a colony of ants collecting food at the cried creek that they reside in. It became a public feud while both films were in production, and nothing about any of the accusations have been confirmed. I could spend a lot of this section talking about how Katzenberg may or may not have stolen the idea for Antz from A Bug’s Life, but I do not feel like it because it is redundant, and I am not in the mood to start a war of the topic in the comments. It was not really believable that the circus bugs would go through such a rash personality change, so they changed the premise of the circus bugs to what we know them as today. There was an issue with the story in regards to the circus bugs, who were initially in the film to con the ants, but when the grasshopper decided to take the food from the ants, that they would stay and help the ants. They wanted to use this as somewhat of an adaption of The Grasshopper and the Ants, and while they were showing an early draft of Toy Story to Disney in 1995, they approved the idea, and production on the film really took off. This lunch draft meeting is where this film, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo were conceived. When Toy Story was finishing up in mid 1994, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and Joe Ranft the head story team for Pixar, met up for lunch to discuss ideas for the next film they wanted to do. Its characters could have been better developed, but with a well-done story, and a family-friendly sense of humor, it is hard to hate the film. Pixar is genius with how they set up atmosphere and setting, which always benefits its characters. Sure, it is a bit predictable, but so is Toy Story, and no one complains about that. My opinion right after watching the film is that it is a bit underrated.
