A BUG'S LIFE becomes fourth highest grossing animated film of all time

A BUG'S LIFE, a Walt Disney Pictures presentation of a Pixar Animation
Studios film, has climbed to $358 million in worldwide box office receipts
to become one of the top-grossing animated films of all time. With its
domestic gross of $163 million, the film has already become the fourth
biggest animated feature released in the United States (behind THE LION
KING, ALADDIN and TOY STORY). Internationally, A BUG'S LIFE has a
gross-to-date of $195 million and has set records in the United Kingdom,
Mexico, Colombia, Thailand and Hong Kong. Directed by Pixar's John Lasseter
and co-directed by Pixar's Andrew Stanton, the film marked its domestic
release on home video and DVD on April 20 and continues to be the No. 1
title -- sales and rental -- in the marketplace. In addition to becoming
the fourth biggest animated feature ever released in the domestic market, A
BUG'S LIFE ranks as the sixth biggest release of all time in the United
Kingdom with a gross to date of nearly $47 million. With equally impressive

Spain, $12.2 million in Australia and $13.7 million in Japan in just seven
weeks of release, the film continues to be a top draw in the international
markets.
