| Character | Original Voice | Tamil Voice Artist (likely) | |-----------|----------------|-----------------------------| | Flik (ant) | Dave Foley | Praveen Kumar (speculated) or a comedian-voice specialist | | Princess Atta | Julia Louis-Dreyfus | Renuka (popular dubbing artist for female leads) | | Hopper (grasshopper) | Kevin Spacey | Nizhalgal Ravi (known for deep, menacing voice) | | Heimlich (caterpillar) | Joe Ranft | “Crazy” Mohan (fits his comedic style) |
The story follows Flik, a clever and resourceful ant who devises a plan to recruit a group of brave warriors to fight against the grasshoppers. Instead, Flik accidentally recruits a group of circus performers, including a charming and confident butterfly named Rosie, a lovable and goofy caterpillar named Heimlich, and a fearless and agile spider named Gypsy Mantis.
The Tamil-dubbed version is (only English, Hindi, Telugu). It survives through:
When Flik accidentally ruins the annual offering to Hopper, he sets out to find "tough warrior bugs" to defend the colony. He mistakenly brings back a circus troupe of misfits—including a ladybug who thinks he’s a boy, a rhinoceros beetle, and a caterpillar. Chaos and hilarity ensue.
