Well dear readers, as you know I always give credit where credit's due. A Bug's Life is truly an excellent display of entertaining entomology. Every child is gonna shrill with joy to these clever warm little creatures. You'll never pick up a can of Raid again.
Hopper is bad to the exoskeleton.
Hopper makes the ants work, work, work to feed him and his Hells Angel-esque crew with the ants' food supply. They're ant bulllies. Natch, Hopper threatens death to the colony if the food supply is not restocked by the Fall deadline. A nearly inpossible feat for the colony. Flik volunteers to search out warriors to fight the evil Hopper, rather than restock the food.
