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!
"Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse" recounts how, against all odds,
Phyllis Diller became America's first successful and best-loved
female stand-up comic. She began her professional career at age
thirty-seven, in spite of the fact that she was a housewife and
mother of five, and was working at a radio station because of her
husband's chronic unemployment. Now, fifty years later, after two
traumatic marriages, extensive cosmetic surgery, numerous film,
television, and stage appearances, and separate careers as an
artist and piano soloist with symphony orchestras, Phyllis Diller
finally tells her story.
With her trademark laugh, self-deprecating humor, and incredible
wit, Phyllis Diller has etched her way into comedic history. And
while her wild hair and outrageous clothes may make her look like a
lampshade in a whorehouse, her strength, self-belief, perseverance,
and raucous sense of humor make her truly unforgettable.
