The War Begins and the Red Ants Use a Pineapple to Destroy the Enemy’s Castle.
‘SPOILER ALERT’
The movie opens with a pregnant woman and her husband enjoying a picnic
The man is asleep when the woman suddenly feels the baby coming
she taps her husband who wakes and swings into action
grabbing their bags and a picnic basket and rushing off to their red car
In their hurry they left everything else behind
their blanket and the fruits and food they had brought to the picnic
The field buzz with the sound of numerous insects excited for the food left behind
A couple of lady bugs teach their three kids how to fly
One falls and smacks its body against a rock a loud derisive laughter can be heard in the background
The family of lady bugs fly around with the young bugs enjoying the flight very much
One of the young bugs is waylaid and pursued by a group of five flies
in an attempt to flee from her assailants and still unskilled at the art of flight
she fell bouncing over several hard and rocky surfaces
until it lands with a thud
Her wing is broken
and she becomes grounded
She couldn’t fly anymore
and sits where she had fallen until the rain begins to fall
She sought shelter under a mushroom but walked away quickly when the mushroom developed numerous eyes and stared down at her
She finally made a home inside a box filled with cookies a box the couple had left behind in the haste
When she wakes up in the morning a variety of insects and ants are carting away food items from the picnic site
Just as the ants are going away with their bounty their leader stops suddenly
returns to the box to find great loot inside
The ant whistles to the others and they dump everything they were carrying
and returned to carry the box of cookies
They don’t yet know the little bug was inside the box
but they find out when the box falls and the content spill
As they were putting everything back in the box they find the bug on her back and surround her
Before they could do anything a lizard comes along ready to eat the ants
The bug mimics the sound of a predator stronger than the lizard and it runs for dear life
The ants are grateful and welcome her into the fold
The ants communicate using whistles and signs there are no words throughout the movie
As they carry their box towards their home a group of red ants blocks their path
Their leader climbs into the box grabs one cookie and laid it before the red ants as a tribute
The red ants were not satisfied with the offering they want to take everything
They all pile into an empty can and go after the box
As the box of cookies falls over a cliff the small can in which the red ants are lodged fall and follow right behind it
Both containers sail slowly downstream
And Both groups navigate the water expertly avoiding rocks and hanging tree branches
until the red ants in the can nudge the box forcing it to collide with rocks
The bug falls into the water and is chased by a shark which runs happily after it
It is a very scary chase and just as the shark opens its mouth to swallow the bug
the ants make a long line with their arms connected and pull the bug out of the water
But in pulling him out they didn’t see the danger ahead
Their box as well as that of their enemies the red ants fall off the cliff
and land heavily in the water
They are able to get all their cookies out of the box before it sinks
and they pile everything up on the banks of the river
and at the command of the leader they all swing into action
carrying the goodies on their heads
and forming a straight line as they marched on
As they march the bug finds a group of bugs like herself
and sadness envelopes her
She goes to stand by them watching them as they fly
while she regrets her inability to fly but She tries to fly and fails
She goes back to the group of ants and continues her journey with them
The red ants pick up the trail and march after the black ants as they carried their bounty homewards
At night they pile the bounty up and surround it
while the bug and the lead black ant take the watch
In the morning they continue their journey
The bug stops suddenly and looks back while the black ants continue the journey
She sees the red ants coming quickly behind them and She rushed forward to inform the lead ant
They make a plan using the bug whose red body made it difficult for the red ants to identify the black ants
Just as they escape the red ants a car comes very close to squashing them on the asphalt as they are crossing the road
The leader whistles just in time and they all stop waiting until the car had gone
before they continued their journey across the road to their anthill
The little bug feels like it doesn’t belong so it stops while the others walk towards the anthill
One of the ants turns around and whistles inviting the bug to come along
The bug follows them in as the ants present their booty to the queen
When the queen tastes the booty brought home by each group she lays an egg or two for the other ants to carry to the egg room
When it tastes the cookies it laid more eggs than it had ever laid all her life
It was so much that it surprised all the other ants
One of the red ants is seen monitoring the proceedings
and it quickly rushes back to report what it had found to her queen
Now we see numerous red ants marching like they were going to war
The black ants closed their lair at night and goes to sleep
the bug is still one of them sleeping among them as peacefully as though they were all kin
While she sleeps she dreams of flying with her siblings and parents perching on flower plants and friends
The bug goes out of the ant hill to try its wings they are growing back slowly
It could lift itself off the ground with the tiny wing beginning to form
Early the next morning the ants get a warning from their queen
and step out to find that they have been surrounded by red ants
The red ants had arrived with some powerful weapons
From slingshots to forks and insecticides
They started pelting the anthill with slingshots smashing holes into the hill
Then they fired a cannon containing toothpicks onto the anthill
The black ants began to fight back
First they dropped a box of cotton bud into the crowd of red ants
Then they dropped several vials containing different drugs into the crowd of marching red ants
but the red ants seem to have more fire power
Some of the black ants and the little bug go to have a meeting with the queen of the black ants
After a short while one black ant and the little bug walk down to a room
where an ant is staring at what looks like a board game with numbers on it
The ant had moved a few numbers around on the board leaving a small hole
they communicate with the black ant in charge of the arsenal
He walked away and returned with a box of a match box
and opened the covering of what looked like crayons
The ants carried the crayons up to the roof and set them up
just as we see the red ants begin an assault on the entrance to the anthill with what looks like a pineapple
At the top of the building the black ants opened the box of match box
pulled out the single matchstick inside and lit the fuse on one of the crayons
which flew upwards like a rocket before landing and blowing up on the red ants who were very scared
Unfortunately the matchstick goes off after lighting one crayon bomb
The red ants celebrate and continue their assault on the anthill home of the black ants
They continue the assault with the pineapple and shoot slings shots with smooth pebbles and forks attached to them
While the black ants were running scared the little bug remembered that it had seen an insect carry away a box of match box
She speaks to the ants and they fashion a kite for her
and She flies off on the kite but was attacked by a spray from the red ants which destroyed his kite
She was forced to fly and she did
flying off towards the picnic venues the spot where they had picked up the box of cookies from
She found the match box right on the picnic basket and tries to lift it
She couldn’t it was too heavy for her
and noticed an insect coming for the match box and hid
The tiny insect lifted the match box over her head and began to run away with it
The little bug followed behind her
Meanwhile the battle rages on
The red ants are assaulting the anthill heavily smashing the entrance with the pineapple
A look out black ant watches hoping to see the little bug return
The little bug followed the insect with the match box
The insect carries the match box into a tiny brick house and the little bug wades through the waters following it
A frog rises out of the water eyeing the little bug
Just as the little bug finds a stick of matches the frog grabs her from behind
and topples the house in a bid to take the little bug through the window
A beautiful field of flowers is shown almost like a flashback
The bugs are flying happily perching right on a canopy of a mushroom
The bug wakes suddenly while music plays in a stereo
She is in bed being nursed by the insect who lives in the toppled house
She brings her a flower which she sucks then begs the insect for the match box
The insect allows her to have the match box and this time she is able to fly with it
She makes her way back and again we hear the loud cackling laughter the bug had heard as a child
it was the houseflies that had chased her and caused the fall that damaged her wing
they were about to do the same thing to another bug
The match box falls off her grip and she calls out to the flies
She farts in the face of one of them and it drops dead
The others pursue the little bug
She is faster now racing ahead of them and making them fly too fast
He forces them to slam into the lamp of an oncoming car and dies
She frees the other bug and takes the match box once more flying towards the anthill
The red ants are winning the anthill is almost destroyed as the bug returns
With the match box hope returned to the black ants
She lays the match box in front of them and they greet and hug
The red ants are scared as the black ants light the rockets
There are lots of fiery fireworks happening all over the battle ground
and The red ants run for dear life The battle is won
The ants are grateful to the bug and gather to thank him in the presence of their queen
At the end the bug can be seen flying again with the young bugs over the grasses
