Frog Overview
It's Tough to be a Bug!® Attraction is a 3D movie and multimedia show hosted by Flik and Hopper from the Disney-Pixar film A Bug’s Life. Make your way to this cute attraction by following a path to the base of the Tree of Life, where you'll enter and take a seat in the Tree of Life Repertory Theatre.
The supporting cast includes cute little insects like spiders, termites, beetles, weevils and butterflies. During the show, you'll experience a piece of a "bug's life" by facing flying quills from a tarantula and defense spray from soldier termites -- make sure to watch out for the stench from a stink bug! In a hilariously entertaining way, It's Tough to be a Bug!® Attraction enlightens Earth’s bigger creatures about the struggles of being a little creature.
It's Tough to be a Bug!® Attraction is housed in a 430-seat theater at the base of the Tree of Life in Discovery Island® Land at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. The duration of the movie is about 8 minutes. 3D glasses are provided and are cleaned after each use. The theater has wooden bench seats with no padding. Guests do not have to transfer from wheelchairs or ECVs to experience this attraction.
