In A Bug’s Life, the circus ringmaster is a flea. It’s a flea circus.
Admittedly I had heard the term “flea circus” my entire life but only this morning looked up what it actually was. I mean it’s pretty straightforward, a bunch of fleas made to look like they’re in a circus, but I was missing the history and context.


Are you aware of all the parallels between TMNT and Daredevil?
Set in NYC, chemicals causing mutations/superpowers. What else am I missing?
Never read the comic (TMNT or Daredevil) but like any kid in the late 80s and early 90s I watched the TMNT cartoon.
Daredevil’s sensei is Stick. TMNT is Splinter. The baddies in Daredevil are “The Hand,” in TMNT, they’re “The Foot.”
And the radioactive mutigen that mutated the turtles came from the same canister that blinded Murdock.
