Without copying themselves or relying on proven formulas, they've created a solid, entertaining film. The basic storyline is a variation of the fable about the ant and the grasshopper, the difference being that the grasshoppers, led by Hopper, are vicious brutes who have terrorized the ants into foraging for food to support them. When Flik accidentally botches the annual grasshopper offering, he desperately tries to organize the ants and some other bugs into facing up to Hopper and his ilk. As with Toy Story , the real pleasure is in the details. In fact, Kevin Spacey's snarling performance, combined with the animators' fine work, makes Hopper one of the more frightening animated villains to come along in some time.
Hopper is pure rage given form.
