![]() ![]() The princess starts to find herself falling in love with Flik, and the feeling is mutual. She gives Flik an idea, and he kisses her on the cheek before bolting off to tell the troupe. Atta begins to think that the troupe may stop the grasshoppers after all and apologizes for being rude to Flik. Dot, who was also curious about what Flik could be up to, gets caught in the chaos, and Flik and the Circus Bugs band together to save her and escape the birds' reach. Atta brings the Queen and the council over to see what Flik is up to, only to find them being attacked by a hungry bird. When Flik and the troupe are far enough from the others, the troupe begins to leave, but Flik begs them to stay, saying that they would never let him live it down if the colony learns of his mistake. They send Rosie the "Lion Tamer" to tell Flik what they really are and he panics, nonchalantly excusing himself and the troupe to supposedly plan out a strategy to fight off the grasshoppers, which in turn arouses Atta's suspicion. After watching a gritty play put on by the ant children, the troupe realize with horror what they are really wanted for. They return to the colony, much to Atta's surprise, and are immediately greeted as heroes who can end the grasshopper threat. At the same time, they believe him to be a talent scout who wants to book their act. ![]() However, the flies frighten the Circus Bugs into running for the wall and rolling the can. The three clowns decide to fight back by putting on their "Robin Hood" act, having Flik mistaken them for the tough bugs he was looking for. They are harassed by a group of flies who have previously been confronted by one of the clowns- a ladybug- after they mistake him for being a female. Reaching the insect "city" (made of of garbage and other human objects), Flik enters a bar and spots a troupe of unemployed Circus Bugs whose latest performance had just ended in disaster. When Flik suggests that he try to recruit some "warrior bugs" to fight the grasshoppers, Atta allows him to do so, but only to keep him out of the way. ![]() After the gang leaves, Flik is admonished by the colony's royal council. Their leader, Hopper, gives the ants the rest of the season to make good on what they owe, but orders a double ration of food after Flik stands up to him in defense of Dot, who was being threatened to Hopper's Thumper. Flik is about to tell Atta when the grasshoppers bash through the ceiling and drop in. After Flik puts the grain he collected onto the offering stone, he drops his machine which knocks the pile of food into a stream just before the grasshoppers arrive. Suddenly, the alarm to finish harvesting and rush into the anthill sounded and the colony frantically finishes their work and hides in a corridor for when the grasshoppers enjoy their offering in peace. Flik tries to make his new friend feel better by showing her a metaphor of how like a tiny seed takes time to become a giant tree, we have potential to do great things in time. Flik feels discouraged and doubts if he will ever make a difference and Dot expresses her own insecurity, saying she's too little. Flik sadly heads back to the wheat forest and Dot follows, saying she is impressed by his inventions. Atta tries to reason with the misfit who makes her a telescope for when she's queen and Thorny, a member of the royal council confronts him and tells him to go and pick grain like the other workers. While trying out a mechanical harvester, he accidentally hurls a wheat stock onto Atta and rushes over to apologize. Then there is Flik, is an inventor whose creations usually do more harm than good. Her younger sister, Dot, is tired of being mocked by the other children for being small and unable to fly yet due to her wings being too small. The anxious Princess Atta is being trained by her mother, the Queen to take her place all the while worrying about pleasing the oncoming hoard. Every year, a colony of ants is expected to harvest food for a biker-gang-like bunch of greedy grasshoppers. "Ant Island" is a small area in grassy hills surrounded by a little stream. ![]()
