It's Tough to Be a Bug! Take a fantastic journey with the Bugs from "Bugs Life" in their 3D film "It's Tough to be a Bug". Originally produced for Disney's Animal Kingdom (Housed in the "Tree of Life' Theater), this film was actually released prior to the Pixar release of 'A Bugs Life". Although fun, this film is not recommended for the faint of heart or with irrational fears of bugs, as many in-house special effects are quite intense! Watch the complete film below and decide for yourself. Audio animatronics figures, along with interactive elements inside the theater (and seats) can be a bit scary for the young ones, so use your best judgment.

Tuck and Roll, the two acrobatic bugs, tell you how to drive your acrobatic bugs (bumper cars). The ride is very short, at only a minute and a half, if the wait is too long, consider another attraction.



Another amusement-park-style attraction, themed to Francis, the Ladybug (who isn't a lady). This is a variation on the "Scrambler" amusement park attraction. .

During the hot months of summer, this play area it a great chance to cool off. You may want to bring a change of clothes for the kids (and yourself, if you plan on joining in on the fun). Consider this attraction right after Grizzly River Run, then either make a dash back to the hotel to change, or use the facilities here to do so (Family bathrooms are nearby).
