This would be the first time that subsurface scattering would be used in a Pixar film, and a small team at Pixar worked out the practical problems that kept it from working in animation. Catmull asked for a short film to test and showcase subsurface scattering and the result, Geri's Game (1997), was attached alongside A Bug's Life in its theatrical release.

The concept simmered until early 1995, when the story team began work on the second film in earnest. [9] During an early test screening for Toy Story in San Rafael in June 1995, they pitched the film to Disney CEO Michael Eisner. Eisner thought the idea was fine and they submitted a treatment to Disney in early July under the title Bugs. [9] Disney approved the treatment and gave notice on July 7 that it was exercising the option of a second film under the original 1991 agreement between Disney and Pixar.

Lasseter had realized that working on a computer-animated feature as a sole director was dangerous while the production of Toy Story was in process. [11] In addition, Lasseter believed that it would relieve stress and that the role would groom Stanton for having his own position as a lead director.
