An ant colony works feverishly to assemble an "offering" of food to appease the dreaded grasshoppers. However, one of the ants accidentally spills it into a stream. He offers to go to "bug city" to find warrior bugs to fight the grasshoppers, which the rulers gleefully accept as a way to get rid of the troublemaker. In the city, a trash heap under a trailer, he mistakes a circus troupe for warriors, and they mistake him for a talent scout, and head back to the colony for the final showdown with the grasshoppers. Entertaining animated concoction from the makers of Toy Story, though it lacks that film's endearing characters.
