Plot
In Corpus Christi, Texas, Two ants called Frank and Attato (Xavier Mosley), work on getting food for the ant colony to survive. As of being fed up with their job of getting food, they decide to the queen (Kate McKinnon) about switching jobs. But, the queen unexcepts their desire. They go back to work. Later, Attato thought of an idea: taking food from a human's home. At night, they enter the house, by entering a half-open window to the kitchen. As they entered the kitchen, they see a bunch of bananas on the counter. They take one back to the colony. The next morning, the queen and the clan are elated of the banana they found at the house. However, when they tell them how they found it, the queen warns them not to go back there again for food. After not taking her warning, they repeatedly go there again. One day, a human catches the duo stealing food. After they escape and hide in the colony, a hired exterminator gases the colony. After the gas attack, the queen tells them to never come back.

After they are kicked out of the colony, they decide to go on an adventure to see the big world. After going through the giant grass, crawling from curb to curb and tired from the long crawl they took, they rest. The next day, they discover a balloon stand. They take one balloon and have it attached to a bottle cap and fly away. But, a gunshot pops the balloon, making them slide down a roof to an apartment. After the fall, a man who is a bug catcher (Hugh Laurie) traps them with a jar and takes them back to England.

After they have arrived in England, he takes them to his home and puts them in a glass fish tank (filled with real leafs, grass, flowers and rocks to make it look like a grassy land). The ant duo meets three other insects; a fly called Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a bee called Reginald (James McAvoy) and a butterfly, Ria (Isabella Acres). The duo have less interest on getting to know them, as they focus on trying to escape. However, many attempts backfire (Even when the bug collector sees them try to escape). At night, Frank successfully sneaks out with a leaf and writes a message to the ant clan.
