A Bug's Life: Flik

Flik is the hero in Pixar's A Bug's Life. He's an ant who's full of ideas and loves building things. Although he has the best intentions, his inventions always seem to backfire. At first he's the most unpopular bug on Ant Island, but he proves himself in the end.

The World's Geekiest Ant 

Flik's Personality, Or Why We Love Flik

What's not to like about Flik? He's cute, bright, sweet, and practically bouncing with enthusiasm. He's easily excited and always coming up with new ideas.

At first, Flik is an outcast because the colony thinks he's a walking disaster. The thing is, Flik's inventions usually work. When they backfire, it's not because of some flaw in the design. It's usually because Flik gets preoccupied when he tries out a new contraption and doesn't pay as much attention to his surroundings as he should.

Flik is anything but reserved: He's chatty and loves explaining how his inventions work. It takes a lot to drag Flik down, but when it happens, he goes down hard. Every now and then he gets depressed, and sometimes he needs a friend to encourage him and gently nudge him in the right direction.

The Collector's Edition of A Bug's Life will give you a closer look at the production (and pre-production!) of the movie: Storyboarding, early animation sequences, research, lighting, etc. My favorite part is the pre-production "Fleabie Reel," an amusing and goofy little film Pixar threw together when Disney wanted an update on their progress.

Your Highness! The warriors have called for a secret meeting to make plans for circus, uh, *circumventing* the oncoming horde, so they can trapeze--TRAP, them with ease!

They can't know the truth, the truth, you see, is bad. I will be branded with this mistake for the rest of my life. My children's CHILDREN will walk down the street and people will point and say, "Look, there goes the spawn of Flik, the Loser!"

If you could just squish me, that would be great, because when they find out, I'm as good as dead.

A Red Flik?

Originally Flik was going to be a fire ant. Instead of being part of the ant colony, Red was going to be the ringleader of the circus bugs. After the circus bugs get themselves fired, they run into a couple of ant scouts who are looking for warrior bugs to fight for their colony. Red convinces the circus bugs that they should pretend to be warriors: "After we're fat and well-rested, we'll hightail it out of there before the grasshoppers come back."

Apparently this Red character wasn't working out, so he became Flik instead.

... CIRCUS BUGS?!

    Ah, I am wondering this ... Is "Flik" the shortest title too on Squidoo? I think Flik is way too cute to be just a bug.
