During production, a controversial public feud erupted between Steve Jobs and Lasseter of Pixar and DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg due to the parallel production of his similar film Antz, which was released the same year.
Randy Newman composed the music for the film. The ants in the film were redesigned to be more appealing, and Pixar's animation unit employed technical innovations in computer animation. The screenplay was penned by Stanton and comedy writers Donald McEnery and Bob Shaw from a story by Lasseter, Stanton, and Joe Ranft. Production began shortly after the release of Toy Story in 1995. The film was initially inspired by Aesop's fable The Ant and the Grasshopper. Unfortunately, the "warriors" he brings back turn out to be an inept troupe of Circus Bugs. Directed by John Lasseter and co-directed by Andrew Stanton, the film involves a misfit ant, Flik, who is looking for "tough warriors" to save his colony from a protection racket run by a gang of grasshoppers. It was the second feature-length film produced by Pixar. A Bug's Life is a 1998 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures.
