Disney may not have an animated film to put up against DreamWork’s “Prince of Egypt,” but they’ve come up with an ingenious way of profiting from the November release of “A Bug’s Life.” The company announced that starting December 18th, a completely new set of animated bloopers will accompany the closing credits of the film. As word has spread about the film, these “faux” film flubs have proven to be a hit with both filmgoers and film critics, thus making the change a perfect way to relaunch the film for the upcoming Christmas season and garner repeat viewings. Pixar came up with so many ideas for the blooper reel that they originally animated two sets and chose half of them for the initial film release. The original set of outtakes is now viewable on the movie’s web site at
