Lessons from the past, present, and future of animation
michaeldempsey.me> In 1995, with the release date of Toy Story nearing, Katzenberg visited with his old friend John Lasseter and asked him what Pixar's next project would be. Lasseter told Katzenberg about a film surrounding a group of insects and the world they inhabit. This film would eventually become A Bug's Life.
> Later that year, Katzenberg and Dreamworks announced that it would be releasing Antz, the studio's first 3D animated film about... a group of insects and the world they inhabit.
I always suspected that there was something going on between those movies. There it is.
