In a private discussion, I heard the theory that it's because there are humans in A Bug's Life, making the bugs' lives seem more naturalistic than they actually are.also kinda funny how everyone hates on Zootopia for the animals acting too human (don't look now but A Bug's Life also has animals and settings that are very human, gasp!)
(Warrior grasshoppers stealing food from ants?)
Also, remember that Joe Rohde told everyone that Zootopians are just stand-ins for humans, as well as forces on Twitter who were determined to view the movie as sheerly about society. With that background, the animal nature of the movie can be very subtle. People here are reacting better than expected. Maybe we shouldn't push too much.
