The Grasshopper and the Ants

7.1 | NR | en | Animation

As in the classic fable, the grasshopper plays his fiddle and lives for the moment, while the industrious ants squirrel away massive amounts of food for the winter. With his song, he's able to convince at least one small ant until the queen arrives and scares him back to work. The queen warns the grasshopper of the trouble he'll be in, come winter. Winter comes, and the grasshopper, near starvation, stumbles across the ants, who are having a full-on feast in their snug little tree. They take him in and warm him up. The queen tells him only those who work can eat so he must play for them. Written by Jon Reeves

The Grasshopper and the Ants Audience Reviews

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
