Fan CastingIt's Tough To Be A Bug! (Crossover)

It's Tough to Be a Bug! is a 9-minute-long 3D film based on the 1998 Disney·Pixar film A Bug's Life, using theater lighting, 3-D filming techniques, audio-animatronics and various special effects. Flik, a character from the movie, hosts the show and educates the audience on why bugs should be considered friends. It was the first Pixar attraction to open in a Disney park. The attraction opened in Disney's Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort on April 22, 1998, a full seven months before the actual feature debuted in theatres, and is housed within the theme park's icon, the Tree of Life.[2] A second version of the attraction debuted at the opening of Disney California Adventure on February 8, 2001.[3] The version at California Adventure closed permanently on March 19, 2018, and was replaced by Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure, an interactive screen ride based on the Spider-Man films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[1] On September 9, 2023, at the Disney fan event Destination D23, it was announced that a new 3D theater attraction based on the 2016 film "Zootopia" will be opening at the Tree of Life. Though not directly confirmed in the announcement, the new attraction is expected to replace "It's Tough to Be A Bug!" at Animal Kingdom. The closing date has yet to be announced.[4]
