November 25, 1998: A Bug’s Life Released

Pixar's second movie was A Bug's Life. Like most Pixar movies, the plot was standard stuff. A misfit causes unintentional mayhem and later redeems himself.

As overdone as the plot was, the movie still succeeded. Kids loved it and digitally animated features were still something of a novelty. Number two in Pixar's seven deep list of big-screen successes went into wide release this day in 1998.
