Hopper: The Classic, Memorable Villain

My favorite part of Pixar's A Bug's Life is definitely at the end of the movie where Hopper is finally defeated and is fed to the little (big in the movie) sparrows. When I saw that part, I had mixed feelings of excitement, sadness, and victory.

I was really happy the the bad guy in the movie was finally put to justice in the storyline and that gave me a sense of a happily ever after ending. I also felt sad because it seemed that hopper's death would be really gruesome. It also reminded me of how small the world presented in A Bug's Life movie is, I kind of forgot before how small the world can actually be.

Overall, it just gave a good conclusion to the Pixar movie and set up for a good ending. My favorite character once again was Hopper because he had a really unique character for a bad guy in the movie. He was tyrannic and also funny at the same time. I also felt that it was really clever to use a cricket/grasshopper as a villain for a children's movie, I will probably never view them the same again! I love the movie no matter what, and it is still one of my favorites!
