...Pixar, the tandem that made Toy Story), this creepy-crawly mini-epic features a cast of zillions and plenty of clever insect asides. But the kids will love the gross-out effects. One tiny creature, the Termite-ator, blows "snot" at the audience (you will get wet). A stink bug backs up to the screen and engulfs the crowd in his sulfurous stench (face it, fart jokes are funny).

When the 165 members of the Republican National Committee gather for their annual winter meeting this week in Palm Springs, Calif., they'll have a stink bomb on their hands--a resolution that would prohibit the R.N.C. from funding any candidate not opposed to partial-birth abortion. Bauer didn't write the resolution, but his politics inspired it. "This isn't a matter of ideology, it's a matter of human decency," says Colleen Parro, director...
