See the films the platforms disagree about most →A neurotic and individualistic worker ant feels insignificant within his highly regimented colony. He is disillusioned with his predetermined life and yearns for something more. After switching places with his soldier friend to impress a rebellious princess, he is thrust into a brutal battle against termites. His accidental heroism in the battle propels him into an adventure that leads him to discover "Insectopia," a mythical paradise, and ultimately to challenge the oppressive system of his own colony and its warmongering general.
