Pixar-Forgotten/Minor Characters #4: The Lady with the Kids

Monsters, Inc. is my favorite Pixar film! I feel that the premise is super creative and nigh every aspect of the film is perfect!

Released in 2001, the film was about a fictional monster world in which the energy of the world was powered by human children’s screams.

Sigh…I really regret doing this Forgotten/Minor Characters project with Pixar films, not because it’s a task I find boring.

Pixar’s next film, A Bug’s Life, has an interesting history that most people know about. For those who don’t know, it’s basically a battle between Dreamworks Animation and Pixar to release their bug-related film first.

Sadly, Dreamworks Animation's Antz emerged victorious. Just look at the victory pose on the poster. — Sadly, Dreamworks Animation’s *Antz* emerged victorious. Just look at the victory pose on the poster.

Despite losing that race, I would argue that the superior and better film of the two is definitely Pixar’s A Bug’s Life.
