P.T. Flea

P.T. Flea is a character in A Bug's Life. He started off as a minor antagonist, but in the end was reformed.

A Bug's Life
P.T. is the short-tempered, boisterous, greedy ringmaster of the circus troupe who is unwilling to give refunds after his show has lasted 2 minutes. He loves money and he would hire the lowest of low-lives and later even go as far as to have himself injured as a result just to make it.

P.T.'s finale consists of an act called Flaming Death, in which he was almost incinerated. This made him fire his entire troupe, until a foot-long line of flies lined up outside the circus tent wanting to see the Flaming Death act again.

He also ended up ruining a fake bird attack with his Flaming Death act from the circus because he thought the bird was real, and many of his troupe were dead as a result.

In the end, he and his whole circus troupe (even Molt, who has become a new member under the nickname "Tiny") leave Ant Island and say goodbye to Flik, Atta, and Dot.
