German computer-animated movie featuring the voice of Patrick Stewart. When Gaya's power stone is stolen by Professor N. Icely (Stephan Lander), local hero Zino (Glenn Wrage), his companion Boo (Alan Mariot), the mayor's daughter Alanta (Emily Watson) and the local trouble makers The Snurks are pulled into the vortex as well. When they wake up, they find themselves in a world filled with giants, monster rats and buildings that reach into the sky.

Every year the ant colony of a tiny island are forced to hand over their midsummer grain to a marauding band of grasshoppers, led by the evil Hopper (voiced by Kevin Spacey). Worker ant Flik (Dave Foley) sets off to get help from the big city, where he mistakes a troupe of circus bugs for fierce warriors. After being fired by their ringmaster, P.T. Flea (John Ratzenberger), the bugs accompany Flik back to his home, thinking that he is a talent scout. When all becomes clear, they are less than happy at the prospect of fighting off Hopper and his gang!
