When Flik discovers that Hopper is afraid of birds (due to him almost getting eaten by one years ago), he proposes that the colony build a model bird to scare him away (the plan is presented by the circus bugs, so the royal council believes the "warriors" came up with the idea). The gang sets out for the island to collect their due. Hopper reminds him and the gang that if they do not keep the ants living in fear, the ants might use their superior numbers ("a hundred to one," he estimates) to run the grasshoppers out of the colony for good. She also starts to find herself falling in love with Flik and the feeling is mutual.Īt the grasshopper gang's hideout, Hopper's brother Molt suggests they do not go back, since they have more than enough food stored and the weather will soon turn bad. However, after they band together to save Dot from a hungry bird, she begins to think that the troupe may be able to stop the grasshoppers after all. Atta soon becomes suspicious after overhearing a conversation where both Flik and the troupe realize their mistakes. They return to the colony, much to Atta's surprise, and are immediately greeted as heroes who can end the grasshopper threat. At the same time, they believe him to be a talent scout who wants to book their act. He mistakes them for the warriors he needs. Reaching the insect "city" (actually a pile of garbage), Flik encounters a troupe of unemployed circus bugs whose latest performance has just ended in disaster. When Flik suggests that he try to recruit some "warrior bugs" to fight the grasshoppers, Princess Atta (Dot's older sister and the eventual successor to the Queen) allows him to do so, but only to keep him out of the way. Flik is admonished by the colony's royal council. Their leader, Hopper, gives the ants the rest of the season to make good on what they owe, but orders a double ration of food after Flik stands up to him in defense of the Queen's youngest daughter Dot. While trying out a mechanical harvester, he drops his machine and on auto-pilot, it knocks the pile of food into a stream just before the grasshoppers arrive. One ant, Flik, is an inventor whose creations usually do more harm than good. Every year, a colony of ants are expected to harvest food for a biker-gang-like bunch of grasshoppers.
