Inside the base of the Tree of Life is the theatre that houses the 4-D showing of It’s Tough to be a Bug. After all, bugs do live in trees, right? Guests follow winding paths around the Tree of Life where they can take their time and enjoy trying to spot the 325 creatures. Most of the queue area is unshaded.
TIP: On hot days, mister fans can provide respite from the heat.
Upon entering the “Tree”, guests are given 3D “bug”
glasses that should not be put on until you are seated in
the inside theatre. The walls of the pre-show area are lined with posters
of past shows that the Tree of Life Repertory Theatre Players
have performed in. Guests will notice such classics as A
Stinkbug Named Desire, My Fair Ladybug, and A Cockroach
Line.
Every
8 minutes, visitors are escorted into the 430-seat theatre
where they put on the 3D glasses and begin the fun. Hosted
by Flik from A Bugs Life, with an appearance by
Hopper, guests are made honorary insects. A good natured
ant introduces you to some of his friends. What follows
is a fast paced adventure with some surprising "4-D" effects.
A warning to parents, some of the special effects may be too intense for small children. It may be best for an adult to experience this before bringing small children in to see it.
Fastpass: Yes
Handicapped Accessibility: The theatre is wheelchair accessible. There are assistive listening devices for hearing impaired guests. For deaf guests, reflective captioning is available, ask a CM at the entrance for details.
