Flaming Death

Flaming Death is P.T. Flea's grand finale in A Bug's Life. It involves lighting matches end on end, and he burns himself to a crisp when the act goes terribly wrong. It's the only part of the show that the flies enjoy. As a result, P.T. Flea fires his circus troupe.

Later on, when P.T. comes around to Ant Island and finds his missing circus troupe, he mistakes the model bird for a real one and uses the Flaming Death act to set the bird on fire, ruining the plot.
