Editing Littlefoot's Adventures of A Bug's Life/Transcript (section)

==The grasshoppers take over Ant Island/Dot and Petrie escape to get help==
(Meanwhile, the grasshoppers and villains are continuing their trek to Ant Island through the misty fog and past dead trees. Molt is trying his best to keep up, but Thumper is making things difficult for him as he pulls him forward. Hopper, as usual, flew ahead of the gang, having his sight set on Ant Island, ready to terrorize the colony like they did before. On Ant Island, in the cold fog of winter, an ant carried a piece of food over his head. He was joined by other ants carrying food to the offering stone, but they were all frantic and in a panicked rush. Having not known the secret of the circus troupe until the last minute, they tried one last attempt to get enough food for the grasshoppers. But they had little time, for all the leaves have fallen off the tree. Atta and Thorny watched as the ants delivered the food.)

* Princess Atta: (frantically and nervously) That's it?! But there's gotta be more food on the island!
* Thorny: If we give up anymore, we'll starve.
* Princess Atta: Hopper won't accept this!

(Suddenly, everyone heard loud plane noises. They started getting louder and louder. This meant only one thing: the grasshoppers are back! But due to the fog, the ants couldn't see them. They could strike from anywhere at any minute.)

* Princess Atta: Mother, it's not enough. What do we do?
* Queen Ant: (distressed) I-I don't know.

(Suddenly, the plane noises stopped. Everyone looked around them, trying to find the grasshoppers and wasps, but there was no sign of them anywhere. However, they heard quiet footsteps that started getting bigger and bigger. The ants nervously looked and saw something coming from the fog. It was a grasshopper, slowly approaching the colony. Others joined him as they menacingly closed in on the terrified colony. But they weren't coming from one place.  A few others appeared from left and right. They were everywhere. But they weren't alone. Hopper brought back up with him: The Crime Empire, Oogie Boogie, Rothbart, Ozzy and Strut, The Horned King, Creeper, Ursula, Shere Khan, and Team Rocket. They all snickered evilly and prepare their weapons as well as their dark powers against them. Thumper snarled at the ants as they heard an angry voice coming from behind them.)

* Hopper: (lifting the leaf full of food) You little termites! I give you a second chance, AND THIS IS ALL I GET?! (angrily throws the leaf at the colony, scattering what's left of the food everywhere)
* Petrie: (sees Hopper abusing the ants with his minions; gasps and whispers) Oh, no! It's Hopper again!
* Princess Atta: But Hopper, we ran out of time!
* Joker: You ants call yourselves a colony?! What a disappointment!
* Harley Quinn: Do tell! Such a disgrace!
* Hopper: (to the ants) Have you been playing all summer?! You think this is a game?!
* Ants: (pleadingly) No, no, Hopper!
* Princess Atta: (pleadingly) No, no, please!
* Hopper: Well guess what?! (menacingly) You just lost.
* Joker: Crime Empire, arrest them all! (fires his gun)

(Thumper and Shere Khan jumps in and attacks the colony.)

* Thumper: (screeches)
* Shere Khan: (roars)

(The other grasshoppers and villains rushed in and attacked as well, sending the ants in a panicked run.)

* Hopper: Not one ant sleeps until we get EVERY SCRAP OF FOOD ON THIS ISLAND!!!!
* Molt: Just do what he says! You don't wanna make him mad! Believe me!

(The queen tried getting away, along with the rest of the colony, but Hopper landed right in front of her.)

* Queen Ant: (gasps)
* Hopper: No, no, no. You're staying with me, your highness. (grins venomously)

(Just then, a humongous giant appears right in back of the ant queen.)

* Hopper: (cackles) You don't mind if my dear friend, Bowser, joins us, do you, your highness?
* Bowser: I really don't care whether she minds at all, Hopper.
* Queen Ant: Wha-...! Who is...?!
* Bowser: But this is the second time this year that you've failed to have this worthless colony gather food and meet with our demands. Do you really think I am a fool?
* Hopper: Oh, don't you worry, Bowser. We're having that problem sorted out in no time. And besides which, we've got bigger plans in store for her. Do you remember the drone ant who was also the king of this colony, Bowser? Well, this is his queen.
* Bowser: Really? My, my. What a pitiful sight to behold. At least this one talks way less.
* Queen Ant: (confused) What?
* Bowser: I'll see to it that this colony will not rest until all of the food on this island is collected. Make sure the queen doesn't escape, Hopper.
* Hopper: Yes, sir. (cackles)
* Bowser: Oh, and Hopper, you won't disappoint me this time. Will you?
* Hopper: Oh, certainly not, my lord.
* Bowser: Good. In the meantime, do what you will with the queen.
* Hopper: You got it! (cackles)

(Elsewhere, Atta tries to escape but gets captured by Ursula using one of her tentacles.)

* Ursula: Going somewhere, sweetheart?! (cackles as she throws her in a cage set up by Rothbart and Team Rocket)
* Jessie: Looks like your leadership skills ran out, princess!
* Rothbart: However, there's one thing we'd like to ask you: we want to know where your little friend is.
* Princess Atta: I-.. I-I-I don't know what you're talking about.
* James: Don't play stupid with us, princess! We know exactly who we're talking about!
* Penguin: We're talking about that one little ant who was brave enough to stand up against Hopper to save your little sister!
* Joker: (holds up a gun towards her face) Tell us where he is! Or we'll have you become tiger food to Shere Khan!
* Shere Khan: (snarls viciously at Atta)
* Princess Atta: (cowers in fear and gives in as sighs sadly) He's not on the island.
* Villains: Huh?!
* Creeper: Not on the island?! What do you mean, "not on the island"?! Where is he?!
* Princess Atta: He left because I banished him along with the circus bugs. We all believed that he was a fool to bring them. So, we got rid of them in order to keep them off our backs and meet up with Hopper's demand. But that's not all, there were others that went with them.
* Ursula: Others?
* Princess Atta: Yes.
* Shere Khan: Who, my dear?
* Princess Atta: Littlefoot and his team of friends.
* Villains: (gasps)
* Horned King: So, the longneck was here.
* Joker: Big villain huddle!

(They huddle together.)

* Joker: Do you realize what this means, guys?!
* Harley Quinn: Uh, no.
* Joker: (groans) Oh, don't you see?! She just told us that everyone left because of her banishing Flik and the circus troupe. With our enemies gone along with the ant who stood up to Hopper, we have no one left to stand in our way! Get it?!
* Penguin: So, with our enemies, Flik, and this "circus troupe" she mentioned gone, then this means we can...do whatever we want!
* Two-Face: Yes! This is perfect! (cackles)
* Ursula: Oh, what joyous happenings!

(The villains cheer happily with this revelation.)

* Rothbart: (clears throat) Well, princess, with this sudden turn of events, we wish to thank you for banishing our enemies off this island and for giving us the advantage of this hostile takeover. Regardless of how totally foolish and, not to mention, selfish it was on your part.
* Princess Atta: What?!
* Rothbart: Poor, deluded, Atta. You call yourself a princess? Didn't you realize that by banishing our enemies including Flik and his circus bug friends, it would only lead you to more trouble? Without them, you have no one to defend you. No one to protect you. And most of all, no one to help you protect your precious, little sister, Dot! (Atta gasps in horror at the fatal mistake she's made) You see, Hopper has been working towards this goal for such a very, long time. And the only way for him to accomplish it was to get rid of those who stood in his way. And it appears that we couldn't have picked a more gullible ant than you! (cackles evilly)
* Meowth: That's right! By ridding the island of the twoips and your friend, you had just handed us the total annihilation of this pathetic colony!
* Penguin: And how much sweeter than victory knowing that this whole dilemma was ALL YOUR FAULT!!
* Two-Face: (chuckles) How shameful. It is obvious that ever since you banished our enemies off the island, you've lost your ability to lead this colony! I guess you'll never live up to your mother's expectations by being a worthless princess who knows nothing about leadership! You're weak! Cowardly! Powerless! And vulnerable!
* Joker: Oh, how pitiful! What a disgrace you have become to your colony! After everything you've done for them, you've only ended up as a weak, pathetic, cowardly screwup! They looked up to you, trusted you, and obeyed you as if they were your followers! And look at how you've repaid them for gaining their trust! Your selfish arrogance has put the colony at the mercy of Hopper, and you've let them down! It's only a matter of time before they begin questioning your leadership skills. And now, because of you, the colony has lost absolute faith and trust in you. (chuckles) So much for royalty, your highness! OR should we say, "your lowness?!"

(The villains laugh and scoff at Atta for her failure as she slumps in shame. It has become clear that Grandma Longneck was right all along. Princess Atta and her mother had made a fatal mistake in banishing Flik and the circus bugs. Without them, there is no hope in defending Ant Island and the colony from the grasshoppers. Atta and her mother had become a total disgrace to the colony. They let everyone down and failed to do their part as both princess and queen alike. They've got no one to blame but themselves. As a result, Atta breaks down in tears and cries in remorse for the trouble she's caused. The queen ant looks at her distressed daughter in sadness and feels remorseful for the trouble she's put everyone into as well. As a result, she slumps her head down in sadness.)

* Harley Quinn: (teasingly) Look at yourself, girly. Kneeling down on your knees in sorrow and despair while your mommy is frozen in guilt and remorse. Ha! You and her must feel really stupid right now.
* Princess Atta: It’s all my fault… I drove away our only hope. Why didn’t we listen? And how could I be so blind and selfish?!
* Queen: You’re not the only one, Atta.  and to be honest, it’s as much as my fault as yours.  we both did, but we completely regretted.
* Hopper: (in Powhatan's voice) Take them away!
* Ozzy and Strut: Yes, sir!!

(The villains take the emotionally depressed Princess Atta and the sad ant queen away where they will be their own personal prisoners.)

* Grasshopper: (oppressing the ants) Where do you think you're going?! Get over there!

(Back with Atta and the queen, who are imprisoned with the ant council...)

* Dr. Flora: It looks like this is the end of Ant Island, everyone.
* Mr. Soil: I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's been a pleasure working with all of you.
* Thorny: I couldn't agree more, Mr. Soil.
* Cornelius: Me too.
* Queen Ant: (distressed; sighs sadly) I-I never thought that it would end like this.
* Princess Atta: (sniffs as she dries her tears; to her mother and the ant council) This is all my fault.
* Queen Ant: Atta...
* Princess Atta: No! (cries) Don't you see, Mother? They're right. Hopper was right. And Littlefoot and his friends were right too. Flik wasn't the one who put himself before the colony. I have. I'm not a princess. I'm just a weak, cowardly ant who knows nothing about leadership. I couldn't even build up the strength to stand up to Hopper, protect this colony, and save my sister. I didn't even have faith in Flik's idea in seeking help from other bugs to fight off the grasshoppers. I doubted his optimistic wisdom and treated it like it was a joke. We had one chance of scaring off the grasshoppers when we were supposed to use the decoy bird we built together with Flik, but I blew it by banishing him and the circus troupe. I've ruined our chance for freedom and our lives. And now the whole colony is at the mercy of Hopper because of me! (tosses away her tiara and cries in despair)

(The ant queen picks up her tiara and looks at her daughter in sadness. Dr. Flora, Mr. Soil, Thorny, and Cornelius all look on at their depressed princess in despair. They all turn to their queen who gives them a sad stare. Upon remembering the criticism they received from Littlefoot and his friends the other day before leaving, they cannot help but feel ashamed of themselves for the way they've treated Flik. Especially after everything he's done to try to help the colony defend itself from Hopper's tyrannical wrath. They've got no one to blame but themselves. As a result, the queen and the ant council begin to shed tears in regret and really wish Flik, the circus troupe, Littlefoot, and all of their new friends would come back. Meanwhile, Petrie manages to fly over to Dot to tell her the news about Hopper's return.)

* Petrie: (whispers) Dot! Hopper's back! What do we do?
* Dot: (looks out and sees Hopper's minions oppressing the colony; gasps and whispers) Don't worry, Petrie, follow us to the clubhouse. We'll try to think of something.
* Petrie: (whispering) Um, okay then.
* Dot: (to the Blueberries Scouts; whispers) Quick, to the clubhouse.

(Dot and the Blueberries escape the hostile takeover and take refuge into their secret clubhouse. Petrie then follows after them.)

(Dot hears some rustling behind them)

* Dot: (Gasps) Hurry!

(As soon as they got into the clubhouse, Petrie whimpers in fear, Dot hushes him as They heard footsteps approaching)

* Unknown Grasshopper #1: Shut up a minute, will you? I think I heard something over here. Have you checked over there?
* Unknown Grasshopper #2: No, not yet.
* Unknown Grasshopper #1: Well then, get over there and check it out!
* Unknown Grasshopper #2: Wait a minute.

(Dot Gasps)

* Unknown Grasshopper #2: Hey, I think I found something.

(The grasshopper bends down and picks up a ladybug leaf cape that fell from Dot's neck, placing it on his head)

* Unknown Grasshopper #2: (chuckle) Cool. Hey, how do I look?
* Unknown Grasshopper #1: Like an idiot.
* Unknown Grasshopper #2: I don't know, maybe it'll keep me dry in the rain.
* Unknown Grasshopper #1: You moron! We'll be out of here before it rains. Didn't you hear Hopper? After the ants pick all the food, he and Bowser are gonna squish the queen just like what they did to the drone ant to remind them who's boss. (Dot and Petrie gasp) Then she's dead, they cry, boo-hoo, we go home. End of story.
* Unknown Grasshopper #2: Oh. Cool. I love our job.
* Petrie: The leader of grasshoppers and Bowser killed the drone ant?! And now, they're gonna squish the queen too?! Oh, that not good.
* Dot: I know right? We've gotta get Flik back to the island.
* Petrie: Well then, let's go!
* Dot: (to the Blueberries Scouts) Stay here. I'm gonna get help.

(Dot Follows Petrie outside, only for them to run into Thumper who snarls at them)

(Dot Shrieks)

* Petrie: YIKES!

(Thumper starts to fly into the air as He chases after them)

(W.I.P.)

(Dot and Petrie continued running away until they stopped at a dead end, which is where Flik once left the island with Littlefoot and the others to go get help)

* Petrie: Now what?
* Dot: We've gotta fly!
* Petrie: But Dot, you can't fly! You're too small to fly.
* Dot: Come on, wings, fly. Fly!

(Thumper then appears out of nowhere as He manages to catch up with the two. He then knocks Dot out as she screamed, leaving her to plummet into the mist down below.)

* Petrie: (gasps) Dot! (kicks dirt and small rocks into Thumper's eyes causing him to screech) Me coming, Dot! (flies down after Dot into the mist below as fast as he can)

(Thumper rubs his eyes and looks down. He chuckles cruelly, snarls and then flies away, leaving the scene into complete utter silence. Petrie then appears out of nowhere, carrying Dot as her wings started to flap)

* Petrie: (pants) Almost there! (makes it to the surface) Whew! Made it! You sure are heavy for a little guy. Heavier than Guido. Hmm? (notices her wings flapping around; gasps as he lets Dot go) Dot! You can fly?!

(Dot opens her eyes, and noticed that her wings are finally working)

* Dot: Yeah! (She then loses control as She tries to balance herself)
* Petrie: But Me thought ants couldn't fly.
* Dot: Well, I am little. I can't really fly. Because my mom told me that when my wings grow in, I will be able to fly. Now come on! Let's go find Flik and our friends! (flies away to get Flik and the group for help)
* Petrie: Oh, um... Me not think of that.

(Petrie then follows after Dot, right off into the mist)
