== Synopsis ==
Two ants while journeying through a human home, decide to exploit a sugar bowl on their own rather than delivering the crystals to the colony's queen, until they experience misadventures.
== Cast ==
* Steve Carell as Otto, one of the two ants who decide to exploit a sugar bowl. He is the protagonist of the film.

But when Otto and Louis tried to explain that the spider is stealing the crystals, she just ignores and accuses them since they always stir up trouble. She is the secondary antagonist-turned-tritagonist of the film.
