The narrator of the story is discussing the animated film "A Bug's Life." The movie is about a group of ants who are oppressed by a gang of bullying grasshoppers, led by the villainous Hopper. The ants, led by a young inventor named Flik, come up with a plan to recruit a group of "warrior insects" to fight off the grasshoppers. However, the insects they recruit are actually a group of circus performers who are not warriors at all.
Despite this, the circus performers help the ants to come up with a plan to scare away the grasshoppers using a fake bird. The plan works, and the grasshoppers are chased away. Flik and the princess ant, who has become his love interest, are hailed as heroes.
The narrator notes that the movie ends with the ants celebrating their victory, and Flik and the princess becoming a couple. However, the narrator also notes that they had hoped for a sequel to the movie, which was never made.
