Insect film

An insect film is a film mainly about insects (and/or spiders, which are often thought to be insects but are actually arachnids). The most notable insect films to date are James and the Giant Peach, Antz, A Bug's Life and Bee Movie.
Origins
The first ever insect film was the 1941 movie Mr. Bug Goes to Town. The 1996 film adaption of the Roald Dahl novel James and the Giant Peach (which contained humans as well as stop-motion-animated insects incuding a centipede, ladybird, spider, grasshopper, earthworm, glowworm and silkworm).
Other films
Following the 1996 release of James and the Giant Peach several other insect films have followed (most of them CGI). 1998 brought the direct-to-video film Bug Bites: An Ant's Life about a trio of ant sisters who are tricked into hatching an army by an evil queen ant. In late 1998 came DreamWork's first ever film Antz and Pixar's second film A Bug's Life. In 2006 came the film The Ant Bully and DreamWorks' 2007 film Bee Movie.
