A Bug's Life

A colony of ants, led by the elderly Queen and her daughter Princess Atta, lives in the middle of a seasonally dry creekbed on a small hill known as "Ant Island". Every summer, they are forced to give food to a gang of grasshoppers, led by Hopper. Meanwhile, Flik, a kind-hearted inventor ant, looks for "tough warriors" to save his colony from a protection racket run by the grasshoppers. The plan is foiled when Flik mistakenly recruits a troupe of jobless Circus Bugs, who are mistaken for fierce warriors. With the help of the Circus Bugs, Flik devises a clever plan to defeat Hopper and free his colony from its exploitative grasp.
