A Bug's Life is a movie in the credits of Cars being shown at the Radiator Springs Drive-In Theatre. It is a film made with cars that closely follows the plot of A Bug's Life featuring Flik, P.T. Flea, and the circus cars.
Plot[]
The car version of Flik yells to the car version of the circus cars, "Circus cars? How can you be circus cars?", leaving P.T. Flea to reply, "These are the lousiest circus cars in the world and they're gonna make me rich!" (replacing "bugs" with "cars")
Then Mack, who was watching the movie, says: "Wait a minute, here. They're just using the same actor over and over. What kind of a cut-rate production is this?" This is a nod to the fact that they all share the voice actor, John Ratzenberger.
Cast[]
- Dave Foley
- John Ratzenberger
Trivia[]
Poster of the movie in Cars 2.
- This is the only parodied film that didn't have its name changed. This is most likely because the title is actually a pun on "insect" and "Volkswagen Beetle."
- Frank can be seen in the background watching the movie.
- Dave Foley and John Ratzenberger reprised their roles of Flik and P.T. Flea as cars.
- A poster of the movie makes a brief cameo appearance in Cars 2.
- P.T. Flea's comments about how the Circus Bugs are "gonna make (him) rich" were originally from an entirely different scene than the one parodied. In the original A Bug's Life, P.T. Flea makes those comments after he arrives on Ant Island and finds the troupe, inadvertently blowing their cover as "warrior bugs" to the colony. In the Cars version, P.T. Flea appears in the same scene in which Flik discovers who the "warrior bugs" truly are.
