What kind of lessons could we possibly draw from such a seemingly childish movie.
One powerful lesson is given by the character of Hopper, the leader of the grasshoppers. He explains how the collective power of many small ants amounts to more power than the grasshoppers could possibly have.
The grasshoppers are simply outnumbered which means theyre main concern is to govern and control the ants so they don’t get out of the line of compliance.
