''It's Tough to Be a Bug!'' is a 3D movie attraction based on the Creator/{{Pixar}} film ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' created for the Ride/DisneyThemeParks. It opened at Disney's Animal Kingdom in April 1998 and at Disney's California Adventure in February 2001. The California Adventure version later closed in March 2018, as the land that it was a part of, A Bug's Land, closed to make way for ''Ride/AvengersCAMPUS'' which opened in 2021.
The show is hosted by Flik, hoping to teach the audience how insects survive in the wild. Throughout the show he introduces different insects, who demonstrate their skills for the audience. The show is eventually interrupted by Hopper, and things take a turn for the terrifying.

* EarlyBirdCameo: The entire attraction served as this for ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', as it opened months before the movie came out. For reference the attraction was an opening day attraction at the Animal Kingdom in April of 1998 and a bugs life came out in November of that year meaning the attraction was out for seven full months before the movie.

* AbsenteeActor: Flik and Hopper are the only characters from ''A Bug's Life'' to show up - no Atta, no Dot, no circus bugs, nobody else. This is because the attraction was developed at the same time as ''A Bug's Life'' and the only character designs that had been approved at the time were Flik and Hopper (in fact, the Animal Kingdom version opened BEFORE ''A Bug's Life'' was released).

* ShownTheirWork: The show demonstrates cartoony versions of actual "survival techniques" that bugs use, but the icing on the cake is that the scent pumped into the theater for the stinkbug scene, is actually what a real stinkbug smells like.
