Its Tough to be a Bug! made its theme park debut before the hiton which it was based premiered.\r

As the concept for the attrion began at Walt Disney Imagineering, story development for thewas well underway. At that time, the films only designed charers were Flik and Hopper. So Imagineering—with the help of a senior entomologist at the Smithsonian Institute—hatched the remaining insect cast and fashioned a story about the survival techniques of bugs.\r
\r
Because the attrion was finished before the film was complete, Flik and Hopper went on to make their very first public appearance at Walt Disney World Resort—6 months before the Disney•Pixar film A Bugs Life was even released.\r
