There's a reason they never made a second bug's life.

There was Antz... I don't remember much from it, but iirc it was the same kind of theme?

Antz was released the same year so it's less a sequel and more a competitor. As for economic class oppression themes, it goes even further.

Antz was an excellent example of parallel creation, and the creation and rivalry between the two is a fascinating story and a microcosm of the broader early rivalry between Pixar and DreamWorks. It's detailed in the Production section of the Antz Wikipedia page.

It is not. It's a scene from A Bug's Life.

I'm not saying that Bird was named luigi. But it could have been.
