We don't see much of Rydstrom, but we hear the original recordings accompanied by a black screen, which is followed by the final mix that includes those sounds. I really liked this part; it's amazing to see how strongly the video influenced the production decisions, and it helped me appreciate what a fantastic job they did with the animation. The track also featured some nice use of directional dialogue, as speech popped up in appropriate locations throughout the movie.After the great success they had with Toy Story, everyone was wondering if Pixar could repeat their success or if they were going to be the Hollywood equivalent to a one-hit-wonder. Plus, this DVD edition has been created directly from Pixar's digital source, producing the clearest picture possible, and two viewing formats: original wide-screen and special full-frame, digitally recomposed to retain the entire image. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. I flicked through a number of keys scenes of varying tempo and the overall conclusion that I can draw is that the DTS track is slightly “brighter” and a touch louder than its Dolby counterpart.

A re-issue of an upgraded re-release, the May 2003 2-disc version of A Bug’s Life actually marks the 1998 flick’s fourth DVD incarnation. and wrapping the package up is the stunning short “Geri's Game” - and if you're familiar with Toy Story 2 you'll recognise the main character immediately. This four-minute, 14-second video is also fairly brief and glib, though it's more interesting simply because it sticks to one area of production. The latter seem less impressive now than they did in 1999, but they still offer a solid look at the movie.Preproduction is the most extensive section and it covers all of the work that occurred prior to formal "filming. I don't think I ever saw this one in the theaters, and it's very entertaining; I love to see trailers that don't just collect shots from the film. There's also a "model turnaround" for Hopper; this presents a computer maquette of the character, and the camera revolves around it to show it from all angles. It's "hosted" by a puppet named Fleabie who tours the Pixar studios and observes different aspects of the production. The Lion King (1994) • Pocahontas (1995) • Toy Story (1996) • The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) • The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) • A Bug's Life (1998) • Toy Story 2 (1999) • Monsters, Inc.

The first pressings of the disc there's also Movie Cash included good for a free ticket to Pixar's next feature, Up. It was quite different than the final product, with a different main character and several new situations.

Even without the excellent story this movie would be a joy to sit through because it is so beautiful.

One curious note: while Dave Foley and Joe Ranft clearly reprise their roles as Flik and Heimlich, I'm not so sure that Kevin Spacey and Denis Leary do the voices of Hopper and Francis for this piece. This 95-second video was to be used for international promotion and it shows us a remote "interview" between a broadcaster and four "actors" (Flik, Hopper, Heimlich and Francis). Also found on many other DVDs, this purports to help you set up your system for the best reproduction of both picture and sound, ala stand-alone programs such as Video Essentials. Questa edizione è infatti soprattutto pensata per coloro i quali, fan della Pixar, vogliano avere una bella collezione da sfoggiare in uno scaffale con tutti i capolavori della casa di produzione fondata da Steve Jobs.In addition there are eight minutes worth of deleted scenes (which were okay but not great), a design gallery and promotional material. and in a fullscreen version on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. I could have lived without the odd self-consciously shaky camerawork, but I liked these intros quite a lot; they conveyed necessary information in a fun way that usually would be covered by stiff text pages. This section helps demonstrate to viewers what storyboards are, and it shows how they generally are used at Pixar by letting us observe the creative process.
