It's Tough to Be a Bug! was a 3D film based on Pixar's 1998 film A Bug's Life. The attraction first opened with Disney's Animal Kingdom on April 22, 1998, seven months before A Bug's Life debuted in theaters, and was housed within the theme park's icon, the Tree of Life. A second version of the attraction opened with Disney California Adventure on February 8, 2001, as part of the Bountiful Valley Farm area of the park, until A Bug's Land was built around it, and was housed inside the Bug's Life Theater. The attraction was Pixar's first presence in a Disney park. The film utilized theater lighting, 3D filming techniques, Audio-Animatronics and various special effects and was hosted by Flik, an ant and the protagonist of A Bug's Life, who lead an educational presentation on why insects should be considered an important part of the lives of humans.
