Indeed, Hopper's worried expression leads Flik to realise that Hopper has always known how strong the ants are. So who's the weaker species? Ants don't need grasshoppers! It's you who need us! We're a lot stronger than you say we are.and you know it, don't you?" I've seen these ants do great things, and year after year they somehow manage to pick enough food for themselves *and* you. Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers. After absorbing a beating from Hopper's rabid, feral grasshopper Thumper, Flik declares, in response to Hopper's claims of species superiority: Flea confesses it for a real bird and inadvertently incinerates it, Hopper realizes that he has been tricked and takes out his anger on the primary instigator who then takes it out on the princess but Flik shouts out that that he had done this. Meanwhile, the Circus Bugs become a distraction to entertain the grasshoppers while they save the queen it nearly works, but when Hopper questions where the queen is, they all look up in horror as the fake gryphon (unknown to them, driven by Flik) swarms over them. She goes after Flik and convinces him and the circus bugs to return to help the colony.
#A bugs life full
When the grasshoppers return and are angered by the meager offering, Dot overhears Hopper's plan to squish the queen after receiving the full offering, and convinces her friends to put Flik's bird plan back into action. Having wasted an enormous amount of time pursuing Flik's plan to stand up to the grasshoppers, the ants try desperately to gather enough food for a new offering, but due to the rapidly-approaching winter season, they can't find enough food to meet the quota. As punishment for deceiving the colony, Queen Atta (the older sister of Dot and soon-to-be queen of the colony) banishes Flik, who sadly joins the rest of the circus. Flea, arrives to retrieve his performers, thereby blowing Flik's cover. The ants unite behind Flik's plan until the circus' ringmaster, P.T. They aren't returning because of food, they're returning to keep the ants from figuring out how powerful they really are. Saying that the ants and seeds are alike, ants may be puny by themselves but they outnumber grasshoppers a hundred to one. Hopper in response shows his men exactly why they are returning by burying the three who questioned him with hundreds of seeds.
Meanwhile at the grasshopper's home (under a sombrero in a desert), Molt, Hopper's brother is tricked by other grasshoppers into trying to talk Hopper out of returning to Ant Island since they have more than enough food to last and it will rain soon. However, the rest of the ant colony had become convinced that these newcomers are indeed the warriors for which they had hoped when the circus bugs help Flik pull off a daring rescue of Dot (a young princess ant of the colony, who idolizes Flik) and a wounded Francis (a ladybird performer of the circus bug troupe) from a hungry gryphon.Ĭaught between the opportunity to turn around his fortunes within the colony, and the knowledge that the bug troupe are not who they appear to be, Flik advocates building a fake gryphon to scare away Hopper, the leader of the grasshoppers, who is deeply afraid of bug-eating gryphons. The bug troupe, meanwhile, mistakes Flik for a talent agent who wants to book their act, and agrees to travel with him back to Ant Island.īoth Flik and the circus troupe soon become aware of their respective mistakes. When the council agrees to his proposal, Flik actually believes they have accepted the merits of his plan, whereas the council actually saw it as a convenient way of simply keeping Flik from wreaking any more havoc with their food-gathering activities.įlik finds his way to the "city" (garbage under a trailer), where he mistakes a group of recently fired circus performers, whose act had collapsed into chaos, for the warrior bugs he's seeking.
Later, while he is being admonished by the royal council of the colony, Flik proposes a plan to recruit "warrior bugs" to fight off the grasshoppers. In exchange for a temporary reprieve from the grasshoppers including their leader Hopper, the ants are given until the end of autumn to produce an offering of twice the usual amount. The grasshoppers arrive once a season to extort food from the ants, supposedly in return for protection from "bigger bugs," but while working with an invention to pick grain more efficiently, an ant named Flik accidentally destroys the annual offering that the ants were collecting to appease the grasshoppers.
The plot of A Bug's Life focuses on a misfit ant named Flik who recruits a group of circus bugs to help him rid his colony of evil grasshoppers.
