Review

A magical cartoon from the makers of Toy Story and Finding Nemo. Brave ant Flik (voice of Dave Foley) enlists a troupe of performing bugs from a flea circus to battle the evil grasshopper Hopper (Kevin Spacey) and his gang who are stealing his colony's food. The computer-generated images are delight, the story's a joy and the voice cast bring their characters to life, particulalry David Hyde Pierce'a stick insect Slim. There are colourful sequences at the circus and it's topped off with an exciting last reel, as Flik and his followers try to drive the grasshoppers away.
