It's Tough to be a Bug! is an 9-minute 3-D movie based on the Pixar movie, "A Bug's Life". The film was created by Rhythm and Hues Studios. Using lighting, 3-D filming techniques, audio-animatronics and various special effects, the show gives the audience an idea of what it would be like to be an insect. Flik, from "A Bug's Life", hosts the show and educates the viewer on why bugs shouldn't be seen as pests, but more as friends.

The attraction opened at the Walt Disney World Resort's Disney's Animal Kingdom on April 22, 1998, a full seven months before the actual feature debuted in theaters. It has since opened at Disney's California Adventure Park on February 8, 2001.
