From Wiki\’:

\”Pixar head John Lasseter pitched A Bug\’s Life the day Katzenberg left Disney in August 1994, and said he felt \”betrayed\” when he learned Antz was scheduled for release before A Bug\’s Life.[4] According to Lasseter and Steve Jobs, Katzenberg offered to stop development of Antz if Disney moved the release date of A Bug\’s Life, which was coming out opposite DreamWorks\’ The Prince of Egypt. Pixar refused.[4]\”

and on a side note, I hope Cars 2 does extremely well and makes all the haters eat their words! I think Cars is a fantastic film.
