Goodbye Bug's Life, Hello Zootopia! Plus Why It's Tough to Be an Employee at Pixar

This weekend fans said their final farewells to "It's Tough to be a Bug." This film has entertained guests since Disney's Animal Kingdom opened in 1998. It was the centerpiece of the Tree of Life, which serves as the icon to the park. We look at the origins of how the attraction came to be. We'll look at what was so great--and what was not so great about this attraction. With the official closing this week, we'll talk about the transition to the new replacement show, "Zootopia, Better Zoogether" We'll look at what has been shared to date, and project what might be the plot of this show. Then we'll close off with a little known story about Pixar when it went into crisis mode of creating A Bug's Life and Toy Story II, all within a year. It may be tough to be a bug, but at one time, it may have been tougher to be a Pixar employee. So join us as we bid adieu to It's Tough to be a Bug. ________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!
