As a kid I never fully appreciate how badass Flik was in this movie, until I was a teen and rewatch this with my baby cousins, I really understand the bravery to overcome the physically and emotionally pain and stand up to the bullies
Yep that’s why Flik has a pure good light heart and it was his heroism that inspired his people to stand up against the tyrant’s grasshoppers indeed and that’s when Hopper lost his army and got defeated by Flik brain power because brains trail’s over brawn almost all the time fully right guys!
They could have had a huge grasshopper v ants battle, but Flick’s speech and all the emotions that come through the confrontation are so much more satisfying!
Huge Respect to Flik , even after getting a beaten from Thumper he was still willing to stand up for himself and for the other ants. He is the soul reason why Hopper lost all of his power
Well they have no problem standing up to them online. Problem is, they are 21 times more likely to stand up to the bully, if the one they are standing up to, is actually not the bully.
@@manolitoaguirre90 Eeyup, and it’s their own fault if they can’t see past their own insecurities that they have to lash out at everyone just to make themselves feel better.
Yep, flik definitely deserves his long overdue respect. He’s clearly the colony’s backbone bc everybody except him is scared to boss up against hopper .
Well he fucked shit up for the colony earlier and later on he lied to them to save face. This is just his redemption. Also I feel like he only found the courage to stand up at that point because he had nothing left to lose.

In reality those kicks would have killed flick,grasshoppers have very powerful back legs with spines on them,they can even puncture human skin if a big enough one kicks you.
Yeah also seriously well I can't see. But from the sounds Dave the Flick actor makes aftwards and the way he talks shouldn't Flick be parolized and have to be hospitalized? Again I know you said real world Thumper would've killed him. But the dirrector said that was just to piss you off and make you side with the ants when the real bird takes Hopper. Which actually was kinda interesting to hear him say. The other thing is and this still triggers me. Really bruh after that all Thumper gets is smack from Dot, and Dim doing the JP 2 T-Rex? Bruh he almost killed flic. Rack him! See Brave Heart. All though the Brit said rack him realize they didn't really do so. Cause during William Walis the rack wasn't a thing. So they kinda do what the rack does creatively.
@@06pag Yeah. Also what triggers me is how everyone seems to forget Thumper's a little bitch. Look how in the first seen just Flik scolding him hurts him and he goes away. Like bruh don't just stand there and let him leave Flick hospitalized, scold him. Slap him. He's not a man. He's got no balls. But the key is you don't even have to aproach him.

@@hamitcampos4989 Flick gets seriously bruised by Thumper because of being kicked, coming from an insect about three times bigger than him (at least by this movie's scale). As for how badly he's hurt, from when Hopper snaps his finger to stop the beatdown to saying ants serve Grasshoppers, Flick is on the ground immobile with several bruised spots, especially his eye. Standing up takes noticeable effort, but he's able to stay up until Hopper knocks him down. By the time they're about to launch Hopper out a cannon about a minute or two later, Flick seems to be moving normally though still visibly bruised.
“Who’s idea was this?” Is one of the greatest lines I’ve ever heard in a movie. Earlier in the movie at the grasshoppers home, a grasshopper mentions to Hopper that they don’t need the food the ants lost, so why should they even go back there. Hopper engages with his idea momentarily, only to crush it so he never has another idea again. Hopper explains that they need to drive the ants hard and not allow mistakes to go unpunished to establish his dominance and maintain control. He recognizes that the ants outnumber them 100 to 1, and knows that if they ever recognize that, the grasshoppers will lose control. Hoppers is only able to control the ants because they believe the grasshoppers are stronger. When they rebel, he understands what happened and how it endangers his control: someone had an idea.
The big message this scene shows audiences is how the lower class can overpower the elite by standing together. If this happened in real-life then billionaires and politicians would become broke and end up behind bars.
But is more than that they can Just use other people's lust for Power and Control to their advantage like Ron DEsatan who uses the racists sexists homophobes and transphobes over use the word "woke" to maintain their Power, wealth, control and status quo of the elites oppressing the common people and there's other influencers and boot lickers who literally screw over others and there's Also Wars that corrupt other people as well and indoctrinate with hatred Power and bigotry is never simple
@@nutmatical1042I felt bad for Flik he went through alot of pain getting beat up by Thumper and then Hopper smacked him down and stepdad on his head and then Hopper kidnapped him and tried to choke him
In a nutshell: Flik was the ONLY ant in the ant colony who stood up to Hopper as he believed that the ants are really more than just being the grasshoppers' slaves and without him, the ants basically would have been enslaved for the rest of their lives or even dead later on.
This scene is a perfect mirror reflection of the reality nowadays. When bosses or managers abuse their workers, that’s when the rebellion started when all the workers unite for justice.
And in 2023 is getting worse the LGBTQ+ people women people of color the working class Citizens are being oppresed not only in usa Also italy hungary poland Russia uganda middle east etc etc
More often than not they will still make an example of you to the others. It takes a critical mass of individuals to be disciplined enough to not think of themselves and act in unison. Likely the only way that happens is people rally around a leader (or another bully) to depose the former bully.
When Hopper knocked Flik to the ground, he knew that the ant was right. Hopper’s return to Ant Island was really out of fear of the ants standing up to him and his gang. After the bird and Flik confessed that it was his idea, Hopper knew that this ant - the same ant that stood up to him was trying to be a hero. He originally wanted to set an example by squishing the Queen, but since the bird - he would squish the one who came up with the idea. (Also at 2:50, Molt literally jumps out of his old skin!😂)
It's like he said at their den "YOU LET ONE ANT STAND UP TO US AND THEY ALLLLL MIGHT STAND UP, those puny little ants outnumber us a 100 to 1, and if they ever figure that out, THERE GOES OUR WAY OF LIFE. It's not about food it's about keeping those ants in line, THAT'S WHY WERE GOING BACK!
Goes to show us that without Flik, the ants still would've been enslaved by the grasshoppers for the rest of their lives and even up executed by them later on...
If TheAnt Bully was in A Bug’s Life, I’d like to see Zoc pick a fight with Hopper. And Zoc was the one who left that scratch on Hopper’s face, and they became sworn enemies.
And if Lucas met Hopper while he’s shrunken, it would’ve been like when Mowgli met Shere Khan from the Jungle Book (2016). And Hopper would no doubtably try to squish Lucas, because humans are another thing that Hopper hates.
"They're just ants" There's also a flea, a caterpillar, a ladybug, a walking stick, a rhinoceros beetle, a black widow spider, a moth, a praying mantis and a couple of pill bugs.
That reminds me of Ice Age 4 when Captain Gutt sarcastically said, "I Asked For Warriors & All I Got is Kitty Cats & Bunny Rabbits!" and then Flynn jumps in and says, "And a Seal & a Kangaroo!"
Watching this as an adult, I'm recognizing SO many iconic voices! Hopper is voiced by Kevin Spacey, who despite his personal life is a phenomenal actor. His little spunky sidekick is Richard Kind, a fantastic comedian. Princess Atta is Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, from Seinfeld. The stick bug (I can't remember the character's name) is David Hyde Pierce, or Frasier Crane's brother Niles. As a kid I never cared, but as an adult and a massive movie buff, I'm realizing that this movie has an absolutely STACKED cast and it's fantastic.
Don’t forget, Denis Leary is the ladybug Francis. He also was the voice Diego from Ice Age and the guy who played Captain Stacey from the amazing Spider-Man movies.
Flik: Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers! I've seen this ants do great things. And year after year they somehow pick food for themselves and you! So- so who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! It's you who need us!
2:56 I love how Hopper gets hit so hard by a rock that's so small, he gets knocked over and on the ground (How can something so tiny/small, hit Hopper so hard, he's on the ground?)
Plus if that was a rock, you also have to remember that Hopper’s an insect so a rock would knock him over no matter the size, unless the rock was big enough to crush him.
I love how it showed that even if he was alone, he was going to stand up for the colony. When he started his speech there was no one behind him. He probably wasnt even trying to start a revolution. He just got tired of being pushed around by literally everyone and finally said what hes been thinking all this time. Hes a thinker. He probably was just too afraid to say it especially since no one ever listened to him. And he chose to use his potentially last breath to say it. He knew thats what it was too. He expected consequences.
He decided to use the one last chance he could to show that he was only ever trying to help the other ants. They just never saw it that way until he gave his great speech
2:20 People of ant island, hopper has persecuted our people ransacked our island and now he’s declared war on the gates of heaven. Will we allow it?! (Hunchback of Norte dame reference)
The thing about hopper is he knew the ants outnumbered the grasshoppers, when Flik stood up to him earlier it made him realise that his dictatorship over the Ants will come to an end if the rest of them do what Flik did and stand up to him.
Another interesting detail I’ve noticed about this film is that Hopper never once called Filk by his own name, he doesn’t say “Well well if it isn’t Filk” or anything like that. It strengthens the idea that Hopper only sees him as a nobody, nothing but an insignificant worthless ant who was the first to truly set him off.
Goes to show us that if it wasn't for Flik, then the ants all still would've been slaves to the grasshoppers for the rest of their lives and even end up executed by them later on.
The scene where Flik gets beaten to a pulp by Thumper reminds me of the part where General Mandible tortured Weaver from Antz. Only thing is that Antz is SO much darker than this movie.
Nope. Moral of the story is Capitalism is Evil, Socialism is the only way to liberate the workers. "It's you who need us, we're a lot stronger than you are... And you know it" "Proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains" - Karl Marx and Engels Unions make Us stronger against.
I think the whole scenario is that if Flik hadn't returned to the anthill, the grasshoppers would have tied and held down the queen for Hopper to successfully squish her while keeping the ants from saving her, then Hopper would have become king and enslaved the entire colony for life even if they outnumber the grasshoppers 100 to 1, forcing them to pick all the food and keeping them from eating at all or leaving Ant Island, which would conquered it into Hopper Island, and would order each grasshopper including himself to squish any ant who gets caught eating, refusing to work, or trying to escape. Basically all the ants would eventually die by starvation or execution. Thanks to that one grasshopper who blurted out Hopper's plan and Dot overhearing it all, Hopper failed miserably and that cost him big
The ants would've died. Remember the guy who was counting the rations said that they couldn't give up any more food or they would starve. And Hopper was planning on killing the queen and taking all the food left on the island. So the ants never would've made it through the winter season. Flik literally saved all their lives
1:17 Ooh, tough grasshopper huh? If you already thought Emperor Hopper's buff & fascist, folks, get a load of Fliks own Rousing Speech, its divine! Disney/Pixar or Otherwise.

Your reign of terror is over hopper because you just messed with the circle of life. For you see all these things live together in a delicate balance which is why we must treat them with respect because we are all connected in the great circle of life.
Hopper: “Where are you going? They’re just ants!” Also Hopper: “Those puny little ants outnumber us 100 to 1, and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life!” You told your own men the ants are more powerful, Hopper! So of course they’re going to run away

Thumper: 😨 AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Dim: 🦖👹😊 Giggling
Dot: 😀 Yeah!
It’s the T-Rex roar from “Jurassic Park”! 😃
The Rexy roar was hilarious
Best seane in the movie
Sulley: She's not scared of you anymore.
2:56 I love how Hopper gets hit so hard by a rock that's so small, he gets knocked over and on the ground
(How can something so tiny/small, hit Hopper so hard, he's on the ground?)
Those weren’t rocks. That was the rollie pollies. Tuck and Roll. They can accelerate their speed before they hit Hopper. And there are two of them
@@jchandlersabeast i thought those were small rocks, pebbles, I didn't think that was Tuck and Roll until I paused it before Hopper got hit
Plus if that was a rock, you also have to remember that Hopper’s an insect so a rock would knock him over no matter the size, unless the rock was big enough to crush him.
Now what IS funny is he just said “where are you going? They’re just ANTS!!”
Proceeds to get a concussion by severely smaller rollie pollies.
0:20 was a way of Hopper saying alright, you asked for it
3:08 Don't mess with Dot or you'll be sorry
0:28 that was just so Brutal to see Flik get badly beaten up off-screen.
I don't know y they don't let us see it
@@andrewcampbell5129Obviously for being too violent to show in a G rated flick
Thumper: You’re Dead 😵 Meat 🍖
@@dong.corleoneWhat do you think Thumper was doing to Flik?
If only people stood up to the government like this
Eh, while revolution is a nice romantic idea in fiction, in reality it pretty much never works out well for a country in the long run.
I love how it showed that even if he was alone, he was going to stand up for the colony. When he started his speech there was no one behind him. He probably wasnt even trying to start a revolution. He just got tired of being pushed around by literally everyone and finally said what hes been thinking all this time. Hes a thinker. He probably was just too afraid to say it especially since no one ever listened to him. And he chose to use his potentially last breath to say it. He knew thats what it was too. He expected consequences.
He decided to use the one last chance he could to show that he was only ever trying to help the other ants. They just never saw it that way until he gave his great speech
I’ve heard of strength in numbers but this really highlights it
You definitely got that right
This makes me also think of our lions and hyenas fight each other
If there are enough lions to protect the carcass, hyenas will eaisly steal it from them
@@FiFaFan390 from what I’ve heard, a group of hyenas can take on one lion but two lions is another story.
I've never understood how people can say this is one of Pixar's bad movies. Look at this scene!
2:20
People of ant island, hopper has persecuted our people ransacked our island and now he’s declared war on the gates of heaven. Will we allow it?!
(Hunchback of Norte dame reference)
*Hopper:* "Come back here, you cowards!"
_IRONY!_
Perfect example of "Majority is not always right"
Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 7:21-23 and Mark 8:36 comes to mind.
The thing about hopper is he knew the ants outnumbered the grasshoppers, when Flik stood up to him earlier it made him realise that his dictatorship over the Ants will come to an end if the rest of them do what Flik did and stand up to him.
And in his own rage, he forgot hos own lesson.
When the grasshoppers take off, Hopper yells "They're just ants!" Then he gets trampled by them.
0:44 I Like How They’re Shocked 😮
When you realize that ants are physical strong enough to overpower something of their size, like an ant would brutalize a grasshopper in a fight
0:32 this is why Molt needed to be redeemed
What do you mean
Another interesting detail I’ve noticed about this film is that Hopper never once called Filk by his own name, he doesn’t say “Well well if it isn’t Filk” or anything like that.
It strengthens the idea that Hopper only sees him as a nobody, nothing but an insignificant worthless ant who was the first to truly set him off.
You got a point here
Woody: Good roar, Rex.
Cream: Thanks, Sulley.
Rex: Thanks, Woody.
Sulley: No problem.
3:03 there’s no way he’s recovering from that
Jurassic Park T-rex roar from Dim there lol
NO! BAD GRASSHOPPER! BAD GRASSHOPPER GO HOME!😠😡💢
Flik did something right to correct his past mistakes as a true hero, inspiring others to stand up against others like Hopper.
And what sacrifice half the ants for victory
Goes to show us that if it wasn't for Flik, then the ants all still would've been slaves to the grasshoppers for the rest of their lives and even end up executed by them later on.
@@VampireFan-rf5kb And if they had fought the grasshoppers half the ants would be killed
Or reality
“The ants pick the food, the ants keep the food, the grasshoppers are the food”
If you see how ants eat their prey.
Leave princess dot alone hooper! The bird was flicks idea and he's the 1 you want!
Never have i expected to be seeing this again since my childhood😁
Hopper is my favorite villain 👊🏿
Viva La Revolution!!
The scene where Flik gets beaten to a pulp by Thumper reminds me of the part where General Mandible tortured Weaver from Antz. Only thing is that Antz is SO much darker than this movie.
"A Bug's Life" is way better than "Antz," though.
Antz was more geared towards the late teens early adults. Bugs life was more geared towards younger kids and pre teens.
@@Interestingenough4 I respect your opinion
@@greenmatrix30sevenWhat do you think it would've been like if Atta didn't save Flik from geeting squished by Hopper
Yk the answer to that question
Moral of the story: you don't mess with ants
Nope. Moral of the story is
Capitalism is Evil, Socialism is the only way to liberate the workers.
"It's you who need us, we're a lot stronger than you are... And you know it"
"Proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains" - Karl Marx and Engels
Unions make Us stronger against.
Don't make anyone your slaves is more like it. Stand up to your bullies to be free from fear and their power over you.
@@jimhershey5487 And also don't mess with ants. Eusocial insects are no joke
The only thing we have to lose is our exoskeletons, comrades. Worker ants of the world, unite!
Flik being bruised looks like John Wick at the end of the 3rd John Wick movie.
I was way too old when I realized bugs life was an allegory for a socialist revolution
Tbh I thought it was supposed to be an anti-government movie...
You got that backwards. Grasshoppers represent liberals. The ants are conservative
Hopper: "YOU ANTS STAY BACK!"
Me (to Hopper): "Or what? You gonna make us, Hopper?"
SCAR AS SOTO:WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
@@유하선-j1dsimba: leave flik alone.
@@nilesclifford9704 SCAR:FINE, I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN FIRST.
@@nilesclifford9704Diego not simba
kellogg's shivering in their boots right now
I really wish they made a Bug's Life world in KH4
3:07 That roar was a perfect timing
I think the whole scenario is that if Flik hadn't returned to the anthill, the grasshoppers would have tied and held down the queen for Hopper to successfully squish her while keeping the ants from saving her, then Hopper would have become king and enslaved the entire colony for life even if they outnumber the grasshoppers 100 to 1, forcing them to pick all the food and keeping them from eating at all or leaving Ant Island, which would conquered it into Hopper Island, and would order each grasshopper including himself to squish any ant who gets caught eating, refusing to work, or trying to escape. Basically all the ants would eventually die by starvation or execution. Thanks to that one grasshopper who blurted out Hopper's plan and Dot overhearing it all, Hopper failed miserably and that cost him big
The ants would've died. Remember the guy who was counting the rations said that they couldn't give up any more food or they would starve. And Hopper was planning on killing the queen and taking all the food left on the island. So the ants never would've made it through the winter season. Flik literally saved all their lives
2:50 Even though that's his old skin, Molt would've given the description of his soul leaving his body a long time ago.
"Where are you going! They just ants!"
What they are isn't the problem, hopper. It's how many
2:50 🤣
AAAAAAAARGH!!!😲😨😱
Ants together strong!!!
1:17 Ooh, tough grasshopper huh? If you already thought Emperor Hopper's buff & fascist, folks, get a load of Fliks own Rousing Speech, its divine! Disney/Pixar or Otherwise.
2:46 Pack it up Hopper you are finished No More Soup For You NEXT!!! (Based on information on Wikipedia Julia Louis-Dreyfus played Elaine on Seinfeld in the Soup Nazi Episode)
As a kid I never appreciated what Flick does. He really is a self sacrificing, brave, and noble individual. Actually made me tear up a little 😢
3:07 Jurassic Park anyone?
Reference or no. That roar will never not be cool
Yep, Jurasic Park 2. All the roars Dim does are JP 2.
3:10 Looney Tunes anyone?
3:10 Looney Tunes Reference
@@christhordsen7305 Not a reference, but a Looney Tunes sound effect.

Your reign of terror is over hopper because you just messed with the circle of life. For you see all these things live together in a delicate balance which is why we must treat them with respect because we are all connected in the great circle of life.
Hopper: “Where are you going? They’re just ants!”
Also Hopper: “Those puny little ants outnumber us 100 to 1, and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life!”
You told your own men the ants are more powerful, Hopper! So of course they’re going to run away
“All bark, no bite.” -Someone
Yup, the contradictory statements of a classic narcissist, always twisting the narrative.
@@ssesssusman9417What do you think Atta and the others would do if they saw Hopper spanking Flik
1:13 - 2:04
That's what I call standing up to a bully.
i like when flick was talking to the hopper and when the one of the hopper army just shows the soul and run away
Molt
I LOVE THE DRAMA!!
2:47 Lemming: Ta, bo, di!

It's true
I hate it when somebody gives away the ending
@@thelordpizzaman3461 (Hopper waves to Thumper)
Who do you think you are, Hopper? You have no power over the ant colony!
That ghost launching around is peak 2:43
I like how karma hit hopper, like he hit his brother with the rock , 2 then all of them lol , he spoke his prophecy, they ran him ova like he knew they would
