Une
Vie De Bogues
Oct 15, 2003
Robin says we spent the greatest amount of time on this composite because we were
constantly trying to get the 'Bug's Out' - Now, I know why this one took so long
-- we were not trying to achieve the same results - I thought we were trying to
get the 'Bug's Into' this composite :)
This endeavor did end up taking up more time to create than any masterpiece we've
worked on thus far. No matter how we think our lives are going and how well things
are turning out there is always that moment in time when Life rears it's ugly
side and makes us deal with some really hard times. During the creation of Une
Vie De Bogues, Robin had to deal with some very tough realities.
Une
Vie De Bogues was as much fun as any we've created, maybe even more
so because we were allowed this time to share some really thought provoking conversations.
Thanks Robin, for sharing this experience and Life!
A Few Scenes from A Bug's Life
 |
After taking a brave stand against a gang of greedy grasshoppers, the ants on Ant Island prepare to begin their spring cycle anew as their caterpillar pal, Heimlich, gets ready to emerge from his winter cocoon |
| Flik finally realizes that the bugs he brought in to help him save Ant Island (left to right: Heimlich, Slim, Francis, Rosie, Manny, Gypsy; twin Hungarian pill bugs Tuck and Roll are in front) are really unemployed bug performers from a second-rate flea circus |  |
 |
Flik, a tiny ant with big plans for saving his colony from a gang of greedy grasshoppers, arrives in "the city" as he searches for bigger bugs to help him carry out his plan |
| Twin Hungarian pill bugs, Tuck and Roll, get ready to jump the gun as "Flaming Death," the surefire finale in P.T. Flea's circus, is about to begin |  |
 |
A colorful troupe of unemployed bug performers from a second-rate flea circus (left to right: Heimlich the food-loving caterpillar; a wise walking stick named Slim; a male ladybug named Francis; and Rosie, a big-hearted black widow) arrive on Ant Island at the invitation of Flik (right) |
| Hopper, the menacing and manipulative leader of a greedy gang of grasshoppers, isn't about to let the ants on Ant Island out of their obligation to provide the gang with food |  |
 |
Princess Atta (right), the queen-in-training on Ant Island, discovers that being at the top of the anthill isn't all it's cracked up to be when there's a psychotic grasshopper named Hopper making impossible demands |
| Manny (left), a pompous praying mantis magician who prays for a return to the good old days when audiences responded to his act, gets an assist from his colorful moth mate, Gypsy (right) |  |
 |
Francis (left), one of the bug clowns in P.T. Flea's second-rate circus, gives two fly spectators a piece of his mind when they mistake him for a female of his species |
| Hopper (left), the mean and manipulative leader of a gang of greedy grasshoppers, gives his troops a "pep talk" as they get ready to return to Ant Island to collect "their" food |  |
 |
A fat and sassy caterpillar clown named Heimlich (left) parades as a "little bumblebee" while his clown colleagues -- a walking stick named Slim (middle) and Francis (right), a male ladybug -- pose as flowers for comic effect |
| A colorful troupe of unemployed bug performers from a second-rate flea circus make an impressive entrance on Ant Island with their new pal, Flik (upper left atop Dim, the rhino beetle) |  |
