An A-list of vocal talent---Dave Foley, Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Phyllis Diller---brings this animated gem to life. An ant colony is terrorized by tyrannical, voracious grasshoppers who demand an annual food tribute from the ants be replaced after it is accidentally lost by Flik, an inventive but bumbling ant. So Flik leaves home to find insect warriors to help save his colony. 1hr36m Rated G
