Bug Bites: An Ant's Life is a mockbuster made in 1998. It was the first 3D mockbuster and also the first made by Michael Schelp. It is criticized for being a rip-off of A Bug's Life and Antz. It was later re-released on DVD in 2006.

The original 1998 VHS for this had the 1971 Aesop's Fables special as filler. This was replaced on the 2006 DVD with four additional public domain cartoons for the same reason. The cartoons that were included are Doggone Tired, To Spring, Teacher's Pest, and Farm Frolics.

Plot

Life's not easy when you're a six-legged critter. Just ask Thang, Rose and Didi, three ant sisters trying to make it in one tough neighborhood. Join these intrepid anthropoids as they help the young Queen Jo build a new ant hill while avoiding the sinister geckos and keeping Sal Caterpillar out of trouble. The adventure never stops when you're a quarter inch long - in the underbrush.

Cast

  • Claudine Ohayon as Thang
  • Corine Orr as Rose and Gigi
  • Jean Richard as Didi and Josephine
  • Larry Robinson as Sal and the geckos

Trivia

  • With a running time of 25 minutes, this is one of the shortest mockbuster films of all time.
