Dim is a supporting character from Pixar's 2nd full-length animated featured film, A Bug's Life

He is a large, blue rhinoceros beetle who has a childlike, impressionable, but clear-sighted character. He is usually mothered by the black widow spider, Rosie. He is the largest insect of the circus troupe, and also the transport to Heimlich, Tuck, Roll, and Rosie. It's he who provokes the performers to revive Flik's belief in himself, when this has waned. When the Circus Bugs perform their magic act in front of Hopper, Dim provides a refuge for the Queen when she is made to look like she is put into the Chinese Cabinet.

He was voiced by Brad Garrett. who also voiced Bloat in Finding Nemo, Big Dog in 2 Stupid Dogs, Hook Hand in Tangled, Chug in Planes, and Auguste Gusteau in Ratatouille.

Role

Dim is a blue rhinoceros beetle that plays the "ferocious beast" in the circus. He has a childlike nature, as seen when he sobs in pain after Rosie accidentally lashes her makeshift whip against the sole of his front left foot. He is also shown to be ticklish when some ant kids unintentionally tickle his thorax with their antennae while exploring beneath him. He is usually mothered by the black widow spider, Rosie. He is the largest insect of the circus troupe, and also the transport to Heimlich, Rosie, Tuck and Roll.

When the Circus Bugs perform their magic act in front of Hopper, Dim provides refuge for the Queen when she is made to look like she is put into the Chinese Cabinet. Dim also helps Dot scare the evil grasshopper, Thumper, away after having enough with his cowardly feral vain by teaching him a lesson who's stronger and threatening. When the ants load Hopper into the circus cannon, Dim jumps onto the cannon, ready to blast Hopper away, but rain begins to fall before he can do so.

At the end of the film, some of the Blueberries try to hide under Dim's wings, but Rosie spots them, and she tells them that they can't travel with them. As the circus troupe leave the island, Dim carries the wagon, leaving Heimlich to be carried by Manny and Francis instead.
