Pixar Would Shatter Incredibles 2’s Sequel Record With $363M Franchise Return

Pixar’s gamble on an Incredibles sequel paid off despite the lengthy gap; it’s possible that the studio could repeat the success with A Bug’s Life breaking a major record. The original 1998 A Bug’s Life was Pixar’s second-ever feature film after 1995’s Toy Story. The film follows Flik, a misfit ant who goes looking for a group of “warriors” to protect his colony from a protection racket run by grasshoppers. Following on from Toy Story, it cemented the “What if X had Feelings” used in almost every Pixar movie, although the film is widely considered to be one of the weaker outings of early Pixar.
