A lone ant tries to prove he is worth something to his colony that is oppressed by a gang of grasshoppers.
I loved this movie as a kid, though I find it is far more complex and nuanced as an adult. The animation has finally aged, but the movie is still and enjoyable watch. I think my only issues is that it tries to jam in too many major themes and plot points into a short period. Flick trying to prove his worth. The colony needing to accept new ideas. Overcoming oppression. And the whole need for the circus bugs to be seen as warrior bugs. There is a lot going on here.
Kids will still enjoy this movie, although there are a few scarier scenes for them. Adults will probably like this film more, but may find it is too packed to be able to fully embrace. Nevertheless, this is perhaps one of Pixar's most underrated outings.
