Disney Parks Character Tribute
Flik is the main character from Pixar's A Bug's Life, and he was a major part of the Disney Parks for a long time after his film was released. As an early Pixar hit, this movie was a big part of early Pixar attractions and shows in Walt Disney World and Disneyland alongside Toy Story, and Flik was the most common character to find from his film.
Bug's Life was regularly featured in parades and shows, and Flik was usually featured front and center in any and all of the Pixar presence in the parks. Eventually this movie would be the first Pixar movie to get its own land in the Disney Parks, with A Bug's Land in Disney California Adventure.
Flik also became one of the most common characters to find in meet and greets in Disney's Animal Kingdom. Usually he could be found near It's Tough To Be A Bug wandering the grounds near the Tree of Life.
As time went on, and Pixar released progressively more movies, Flik would gradually be replaced by other characters from more recent films. He would essentially disappear entirely from Walt Disney World, only meeting regularly in A Bug's Land in Disney California Adventure.
Now, Flik is almost never seen in the Disney Parks, having gone from one of the most common Pixar characters, to a character only seen occasionally in special events, or as a part of a much larger parade or show featuring Pixar's entire library.
