Here’s the announcement:

It’s Tough to Be A Bug Closing Date Announced
It’s Tough to be a Bug! will close permanently on March 17, 2025, to make way for Zootopia: Better Zoogether! coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park in winter 2025.
It’s Tough to Be A Bug is an opening day attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, located in the 450-seat Tree of Life theater. The attraction, minus the tree, also opened at Disney California Adventure on Feb. 8, 2001. The California version closed on March 19, 2018, to make way for Avengers Campus.
Here’s Walt Disney World’s description of It’s Tough to Be A Bug:
Become an honorary insect as you take your seat in the theater hidden at the base of the Tree of Life and don a pair of “bug eye” glasses. Enjoy a delightful 3D movie and live show hosted by Flik, the loveable ant from A Bug’s Life, and learn how insects survive in the wild.

During the show, dodge flying quills from a tarantula, feel a harmless spray from a soldier termite and sniff the putrid “defense stench” from a stink bug.
When Hopper—the grasshopper villain from A Bug’s Life—unexpectedly shows up, the theater goes bug-wild!
The moral of the story? It really is tough to be a bug. With dazzling 3D movie effects, Audio-Animatronics figures and in-theater 4D surprises, this is one show you’ll be buzzing about for a long time.
