Some ABL humanized art because why not??? 🐜🐛🐞🪲🕷️🦋👑🎪

Nothing to say about it, but I just did some redesigns of my humanized styles for the characters! I really miss drawing their humanized forms… TwT

All of the humanizations for the characters but mostly the humanized version of P.T. Flea’s Circus poster are both proudly inspired by @liz-freemen! 💕

These drawings will be part of my upcoming ABL art on the day the movie turns 27 since 1998! 🥳🎉

I hope y’all like it! ✨⭐️

A Bug's Life (1998)

[ladies-and-gentlebugs]

P.T. Flea, explaining the flaming death stunt: I think Houdini did something like this once! Why, if I recall, he was out of the hospital in no time!

Slim: Well, that’s encouraging.

Heavily inspired by @liz-freemen ‘s designs for slim & francis and just went with it and drew the whole circus troupe. Whoops

Hi, small prompt idea (or just sharing a thought with you, no pressure to write it) because Kevin spacey can sing really well, imagine hopper is picking grain and thinks he’s alone, and out of habit starts singing, unbeknownst to him, dot, flik, or whomever else you choose hears him and is amazed at his singing.

Man, ya'll keep beating me to these prompts XD. There are a few songs I've been listening to while imagining this scenario and it took me some time to choose the right one. But I think I got it...

<><><><><><><>

Chaotic laughter was heard and the group knew it was P.T. long before he hopped onto the table. "I'm gonna be rich!" his laughter made his words almost incoherent.

Slim raised an eyebrow, "I thought you were already rich?"

"No, I mean richer than rich! A breakthrough in circus entertainment! Crowds will swarm like...like--"

"Flies?" Francis suggested flatly.

"Yes!" P.T. broke out in laughter again. He took Slim by the hand and started tugging, "You guys gotta see this!"

Slim stood and stumbled as P.T. pulled him down trying to walk, "Woah, wait, what is this breakthrough exactly?"

The ringmaster was already anxious as it was to show off his new addition, "We'll bring singing into the performance!"

Flik squinted, "Singing?"

"Huh, you know that might actually work," Francis shrugged as he stood to follow.

"But who's going to sing?" Slim pulled his hand back to keep from getting drug again.

P.T. threw his arms back dramatically, "That's what I'm trying t' show you knuckleheads. Now, come on!"

He led them past the clearing, shushing them as they hid behind one of the rocks. They heard the faintest of something. Molt perked when he recognized the voice, "Wait a minute! That's--"

"Hush!" P.T. hissed when the voice grew louder.

"Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know,

"Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean,

"Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean,

"And this old world is a new world...

"And a bold world...For me...

"For me!"

They peaked over the rock while the singing seemed to pause a moment. Flik gaped, "Hopper?"

Molt beamed in pride when he saw his brother, not knowing he had an audience, "You should hear 'im sing at The Resort. Man that band really brings it all together."

P.T. instantly rounded on the grasshopper, "You knew he could sing?"

"Well, yeah...he's my brother..."

The flea took him by the shoulders, "Why didn't ya say anything? I coulda been swimmin' in money by now!"

He now found himself getting hushed as Gypsy waved him down, "He's singing again," she whispered.

"Stars when you shine, you know how I feel," Hopper's voice had risen a key. He was still collecting grain absentmindedly.

"Scent of the pine, you know how I feel,

"Oh, freedom is mine and I know how I feel

"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life." The grain was forgotten about momentarily in his hand as he lost himself in the song.

"It's a new dawn...it's a new day...it's a new life..." Molt remembered him singing this song before. Excitedly, he nudged Flik beside him with a proud smile as Hopper really got into it.

"It's a new dawn! It's a new day! It's a new life!

"It's a new life for me!

"And I'm feelin'...," his voice scaled down to a lower octave.

"Good...I'm feelin' good..."

He seemed to come back to reality a bit, so the group took that as a sign the song had ended. Molt instantly stood from their hiding spot and started clapping, "Alright!" he nudged Flik again, "that's my brother!"

Hopper yelped, which had to be the highest they'd ever heard his voice go. The moment he saw them he narrowed his eyes, "What in the world are you doing here?" he felt his face burn as Molt came and draped an arm around his shoulders.

"Just checkin' out the new talent!" Molt beamed.

"Excuse me?"

P.T. jumped in front of Hopper, eyes still gleaming with excitement, "Congratulations, Jumpy! Ya got yourself a spot in the circus!"

Hopper blinked and slid out of Molt's embrace, "I am not joining your little freak show."

"Aw c'mon," Molt whined, "All you'd do is sing! Ya do it all the time!"

Flik gave Hopper a curious look, "You do?"

Hopper pursed his lips, "He's exaggerating. I rarely sing."

"In front o' others, maybe, but I've heard ya before," Molt smirked, crossing his arms. "Remember you were on top o' the sombrero one night and--" a hand slapped over his mouth.

"Okay, shut it! I'm still not participating in this stupid circus," Hopper narrowed his eyes at P.T..

The flea jumped up on his shoulder, leaning against his head, "Think about it for a second: lights shining around ya, people cheering, and there ya are in the center of it all!"

Hopper took the flea by the back of his collar, holding him at eye level, "That's not my thing," he dropped him. "Go find someone else to play with."

"Just one song," Gypsy encouraged, "you don't have to perform the whole night. Just sing one song and try it out. Who knows? You might enjoy it." The others nodded and added in their encouragement.

He crossed his arms, hesitating, "Just one song?"

Gypsy nodded, "Just one."

Eventually, he sighed and rolled his eyes, "Fine," he muttered.

Molt laughed and wrapped his arm around his brother's shoulders again, "My brother's gonna be a star!"

"It's just one song, Molt, got it?" Hopper snarled.

"Sure, sure, whatever ya say," Molt winked at the others playfully.

<><><><><><><><>

I was going to have Hopper singing one of the songs from the Beyond the Sea album, but I felt drawn toward Michael Buble. This song just has Hopper's energy, in my opinion. The song is "Feeling Good," by the aforementioned Michael Buble. Here's the link if ya'll wanna listen to it:

And yeah, the poor thing is a little shy when it comes to singing in front of others XD
