A Bug's Life came out six weeks later, as planned.
按照計劃，《蟲蟲危機》將于6周后上映。
It had a more epic plot, which reversed Aesop's tale of "The Ant and the Grasshopper,"
這部動畫電影更具史詩情節(jié)，靈感來自伊索寓言《媽蟻與蚱蜢》的故事，
plus a greater technical virtuosity, which allowed such startling details as the view of grass from a bug's vantage point.
并加入了更加精彩的電腦特技表現(xiàn)細節(jié)，使得銀幕上從昆蟲的視角看到的青草讓人震撼。
Time was much more effusive about it.
《時代》雜志對這些特效的喜愛之情溢于言表。
"Its design work is so stellar
“電影的設計做得太精彩了，
a wide-screen Eden of leaves and labyrinths populated by dozens of ugly, buggy, cuddly cutups
滿銀幕的樹葉和迷宮，如同伊甸園，各種丑陋的、毛茸茸的、可愛又滑稽的角色，
that it makes the DreamWorks film seem, by comparison, like radio," wrote Richard Corliss.
相比之下，夢工廠的電影就像收音機那樣缺乏表現(xiàn)力。”理查德·科里斯寫道。
It did twice as well as Antz at the box office, grossing $163 million domestically and $363 million worldwide. (It also beat Prince of Egypt.)
《蟲蟲危機》的票房收入是《小蟻雄兵》的兩倍，在美國本土達1.63億美元，全球票房3.63億美元（也一舉打敗了《埃及王子》）。
A few years later Katzenberg ran into Jobs and tried to smooth things over.
幾年后，卡曾伯格碰到喬布斯，試圖重修舊好。
He insisted that he had never heard the pitch for A Bug's Life while at Disney;
卡曾伯格堅持說自己在迪士尼時從沒聽過關于《蟲蟲危機》的內(nèi)容；
if he had, his settlement with Disney would have given him a share of the profits,
如果聽過的話，按照他和迪士尼的協(xié)議，他還能從利潤中得到一些分成，
so it's not something he would lie about. Jobs laughed, and accepted as much.
所以他沒有撒謊。喬布斯笑了，接受了這個說法。
"I asked you to move your release date, and you wouldn't,
“我請你更改首映日期，你不同意，
so you can't be mad at me for protecting my child," Katzenberg told him.
所以你也不能反對我保護自己的‘孩子’”，卡曾伯格說。
He recalled that Jobs "got really calm and Zen-like" and said he understood.
他回憶，喬布斯當時“變得非常冷靜，像個禪師”，并表示理解。
But Jobs later said that he never really forgave Katzenberg.
但是喬布斯事后說，他從來沒有真正原諒過卡曾伯格。
