Greetings, little friends.

There's something

About the insect world that

Really bugs me.

It's enough to make your skin

Crawl.

Personally, I hate picnics.

They turn me into a real

Basket case.

[Laughter]

Oooh... Those ants tickle.

Or maybe I'm just itching

To tell you today's spine

Tingling tale.

It's about two boys

On a family picnic who engage

In some seemingly harmless

Antics, never anticipating

Where it might lead.

Heh-heh-heh...

[Laughter]

Oh... Those boys!

Like always.

Desert before the main course.

Hey, where is becky?

Off with her brothers

Learning about nature.

You know, I think that

Insect book we gave them has

Opened up a whole new world

For rick and teddy.

Becky, give me my book.

That's not the way to play ant

Wars.

Hey, rick, where's

The bait?

Becky, no!

That's not baby bait.

It's for the ants.

Good.

Go see mom.

Red leader advancing at 12:00.

Prepare to engage.

Repeat... Prepare to engage.

We are preparing ordinance.

Confidence is high.

Repeat... Confidence is high.

They've entered the mine

Field.

Priority one, red leader is

Escaping.

Execute rear as*ault!

Roger.

Look at 'em scramble.

Ah, nuts!

Rick?

Rick!

Uh-oh.

Aaaaaah!

Aaaaaah!

Aaaaaah!

How'd you get here?

Same as you.

How did I get here?

Beats me.

Aaaaaah!

Aaah, what?

Aaaaaah!

H-h-hey, rick.

A g-g-giant ant.

F-f-fangs and eyes.

A-a-and it almost g-g-gobbled

Me up!

Shhh!

What are they doing?

I think they're talking.

Ants don't talk.

Come on, let's get outta

Sight.

Aaaaaah...

Where can they be taking

Us, rick?

Rick!

How can you be reading

At a time like this?

It's the insect book dad

Gave us.

So?

So maybe learning something

About ants will give us some

Idea of what they're going

To do with us.

Whoa, look at the fangs

On that guy!

They're not fangs, teddy.

They're called mandibles.

And all worker ants are shes,

Not hes.

Hes, shes, who cares!

Except that drone.

He's definitely a male.

[Gasp!]

Rick, look!

Soldier ants!

Aaah!

Aaaaaah...

Teddy!

Yeahhh?

It looks like the drone is

On our side.

Yeah, well maybe he wants

To save us for himself.

Wow, ants are pretty

Awesome, teddy!

Did you know...

Aaaaaah!

Aaaaaah...

Why'd they drop us here?

This must be an ant version

Of a refrigerator.

All right!

Popcorn!

Here... Pig out, little bro.

Yuck!

If they want me stuffed, then

They can stuff me themselves!

Listen, if they wanted us

For lunch, they would have

Eaten us already.

Okay, then we're dinner.

How about us figuring a way

To get out of here, ted?

Uh-oh!

Wait a second.

It's not alive.

Yes, it is!

And it's going back out

Of here!

Come on, teddy.

Now's our chance.

Grab on!

Run for it!

Whoaaa!

Rick, i-i-i can't see!

Teddy?

Whoaaa!

Whoaaa!

Ooof!

Rick, this isn't kansas.

Look, it's the queen ant!

Awesome!

It looks like a feast.

Huh?

Yeah, it's gonna be

A feast, rick.

A feast fit for a queen.

Hmmm... I... I don't think

So, teddy.

Look in the book.

Queen's are vegetarians, right

Rick?

Right?

Rick!

Rick!

Try not to move.

Rick, I'm gonna jump!

I'm... Huh?

[Gulp].

Rick, why is she looking

At us like that?

Aaaaaah!

Yikes!

[Boys coughing]

Yuck!

I've been sauced.

So that's it?

They bring us all the way here

For a paint job?

I think there's more to it,

Teddy.

So that's it!

What's it?

The carrot cake.

You're going after the carrot

Cake and you want us to go

Along.

But that's miles away.

Whew... I wish I brought

My bike.

Hey, teddy, look!

What?

He's got wings.

Radical!

So he can fly?

Not yet, but he's going

To be a king.

There are no ant kings.

Even I know that.

Yeah, exactly.

But every so often, a male ant

Sprouts wings and flies off

With the queen ant to start

A whole new ant colony... Like

A giant family.

Let me see that.

You know, I'm really

Starting to like this.

Being an ant is kind of cool!

Evasive action!

We're trapped!

I don't think so.

Woof, woof, woof!

Dog slobber at 12:00!

That was close!

Dog drool!

What a way to go.

Huh?

It's okay... I'm fine.

Me too.

Whoa!

Check it out!

Wow!

Grrrrrr!

Huh?

Grrrrrr!

Um... Um... Rick.

Rick!

Aaaaaah!

Grrrrrr!

Yikes!

Teddy, move!

Rick, the web!

Now!

Yeow!

Yeowww!

Ooof!

Teddy!

Teddy?

Oh, yeah, I'm okay.

Aw... Wow, i-i-i had this crazy

Dream we were ants and there

Was this... Uh-oh!

Spider!

We're all here.

Let's move it.

Man, it's tough being

An ant.

Spiders, walking, roaches,

Walking, dog drool, and more

Walking.

Hey, teddy, look!

Almost there.

[Gasp!]

[Baby giggling]

It's the becky beast!

Bug, bug, bug, bug, bug,

Bug, bug...

Bug, bug, bug, bug, bug,

Bug!

Becky, no!

She can't hear you.

She's got the marbles!

Brace yourself, diaper

Touching down!

Yeowww!

Run for it!

Ooooooh!

Aaaaaah!

Yeowww!

Yeowww!

Ooof!

Wow!

Rick!

Rick!

Teddy!

I'm okay, rick.

She's playing ant wars.

Yeah, and you taught

Her pretty good.

Me?

You're the one who taught her.

Rick, come on!

The drone's caught under that

Stick.

We gotta get it off before

She opens up with the squirt

g*n.

Gotta move it more.

Too late!

Grab on!

Come on, you can make it!

A little more!

There, over there!

Whew... We'll be lucky if any

Of us make it through this

Alive.

You thinking what I'm

Thinking?

Yeah, that's what this is

About, isn't it?

All they wanted was for us

To feel what it was like.

I mean, to be on the receiving

End.

Not much fun on this side, is

It?

If we ever get out of this,

Rick, I promise I'll never...

Teddy!

Teddy!

Teddy?

I'm okay... Again.

Then let's run for it!

[Becky playing with squirt

[g*n]

Bang, bang, bang...

Uh-oh!

The mine field!

Charge!

Teddy!

Teddy!

Teddy?

Here, rick.

Where are the others.

The drone?

They're safe.

Whoa, I never thought we'd

Make it.

You had to say that.

Oh, no!

Look, she's got the magnifying

Glass!

She doesn't know how to use

It.

She doesn't have to.

She's going to finish us off

With her bare hands.

I love you rick.

Bye.

Keep her busy.

Uh... Uh... Tell her a story.

Aaaaaah!

Sorry, sis!

Owww!

You did it!

Huh?

Aaaaaah!

Thanks, guys... Er, girls

And guy.

Uh... Tell them, rick,

About our... Our promise.

I think they kind

Of understand you.

What teddy means is, well,

We understand what we've been

Putting you through.

Do we ever!

We don't exactly know how

We got here, but if we ever

Get back, well, well...

From now on, we're

On your side.

Okay, so cake's waiting!

Let's celebrate!

Oh, no!

All this way and not even

A nibble!

Look!

Come on!

This could be our only chance!

Thanks.

Come on!

Come on!

Oh, no!

We'll never get up in time.

Try, teddy, try!

Thanks again.

We did it!

Yes!

Where on earth have

You boys been?

Just look at you!

Studying nature.

Uh-huh.

Well, while you were busy not

Watching your sister,

She stuck herself

With a thistle.

Sorry, mom.

Burgers, coming right up.

No thanks, dad.

This will do.

What the... Ha-ha-ha!

Now where are you going?

Come and get it!

Look at 'em go!

Look!

It finally happened.

It's gonna be a nice colony.

Yeah.

So you love me, huh?

Hee-hee-hee-hee!

Quite a lesson for

Our anti-heroes, hmmm?

I'm so happy rick and teddy

Discovered that the insect

World is a marvellous place.

Oh, look... Two bugs

About to be joined

In gnatrimony.

From the moment he first spied

Her, he wanted to make that

Girl his happily webbed wife.

Uh-oh... There's a fly

In the ointment.

Marrying a black widow could

Make things a bit sticky.

Yeowww!

Oh, dear.

Pardon me if a seem a little

Antsy, but my little friends

Are being a little antisocial.

But then again, why make

A mountain out of an ant hill.

Remember, don't step

On the ants.

They might make you say uncle.

Ah-ha-ha-ha...
