The movie is slated for release on November 14, 2025.
The plot centers on Dot, now a courageous teenager and the oldest sister of Jonathan. Determined to protect her colony, Dot faces a new threat: a family of wasps led by the ruthless Stingy. Despite Flik’s concerns, Dot embarks on a mission to find “tough warriors” to defend their home. However, she inadvertently recruits a troupe of comedian bugs, reminiscent of Flik’s earlier misadventures.
The voice cast features returning talents such as Dave Foley as Flik, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Queen Atta, and Emily Hahn as Princess Dot. New additions include Idris Elba as Stingy the Wasp, McKenna Grace as the teenage Dot, and Daelo Walton as Jonathan. The ensemble brings fresh dynamics to the beloved characters, promising an engaging experience for audiences.
Production commenced in late 2023, with pre-production activities underway by February 2024. In June 2024, director John Lasseter announced at the Germany International Film Festival that the film would feature a tribute to Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s The Lives of Others. The production team has focused on enhancing the animation quality, utilizing cutting-edge technology to bring the microcosmic world to life.
The film’s score and soundtrack are composed by Randy Newman, featuring a remastered version of “The Time of Your Life” from the original film. The soundtrack is scheduled for release on November 14, 2025, coinciding with the film’s theatrical debut. The music aims to evoke nostalgia while introducing new compositions to captivate both new and returning audiences.
A tie-in video game developed by Avalanche Software is set to launch on November 11, 2025, for platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This interactive experience allows players to immerse themselves in the film’s universe, offering an additional medium to engage with the story and characters.
While specific budget details have not been publicly disclosed, industry analysts anticipate that A Bug’s Life 2 will perform well at the box office, given the enduring popularity of the original film and Pixar’s track record of successful sequels. The film is expected to resonate with both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers, contributing to its projected commercial success.
