Character Discussion: Mr. Soil

Upon re-visiting ABL, I realized how underrated of a character Mr. Soil is. While no means a vital character, it’s amusing to see a very calm personality amidst the controlled chaos of the Ant Counsel. Also, the late Roddy McDowell is class personified and it’s a shame that he couldn’t work on more Pixar films. So, who else loves Mr. Soil?

I like him! Mainly because of his voice. I know, it’s a weird reason. But I really like voices. He also has a chill name. He’s a great character, for having such little screentime!

He’s pretty cool. Not my favorite character, but he’s interesting if you pay attention to him.

I’m just here to say that I ship Dr.Flora/Mr. Soil.

I remember Mr. Soil best as my tutorial guy for the A Bug’s Life video game. In fact it was actually the game that was Roddy’s final work, not the film.

They’d make a good couple.
