Tired of being a punching bag, Lucas takes out his frustration on the ants living in his lawn. But when the ants strike back--shrinking Lucas down to their size with a magic potion and forcing him to live like an ant within the colony--an astonishing new world opens up to him. Lucas learns, first-hand, the value of friendship and teamwork, ultimately leading the ants in an effort to save their colony from annihilation. And in the process, Lucas obtains the things he wants most: friends, companionship, acceptance and the courage to stand up for himself. |

• The eerie insect noise heard when Zoc and the other ants first enter Lucas' house (to shrink and kidnap him) is the same eerie insect noise heard in "Them!" (1954), when the giant ants are shown on screen.
• The kid who answers the phone at the Pizza Kingdom says, "Hail to the King." Bruce Campbell, who voices Fugax, was the star of the Evil Dead movies, in which Hail to the King was a prominent quote and the title of the video games that were based on the movies. |
