I found this movie by accident and showed it to my children, and it turned out to be a big surprise. It seems that a cartoon that is not very famous is so well done! Later, I watched it more than once, and it was dubbed by Taiwan, which felt pretty good.
There are many details in the story that make people laugh, and at the same time, I can't help but admire the innocence and carefulness of its creator. For example, the fat caterpillar was really cute, but when it finally turned into a butterfly, it was still chubby, with only a few tiny wings. When he lured the enemy with his body, he twisted his fat body and said: Come and eat delicious fat worms! Keep the kids entertained for a long time. Such foreign humor is rarely seen in Chinese comedies.
The insects in the circus are all vivid, and at the same time have implied human characteristics: the old mantis is a Chinese half-immortal pretending to be a ghost; his wife, the butterfly, is a coquettish half-old mistress; two The reptiles are totally Japanese; and there's that male ladybug who was born to be flowery, always mistaken for auntie. And that bug, a mercenary businessman.
The child's favorite character is the little ant: little one. Only she believed in Fili and gave him support and strength. This little guy has many valuable qualities: simplicity, perseverance, intelligence, courage and kindness. She will be a good queen in the future. Reminds me of Guo Xiang!
I won't say much about the other educational significance of the film. That's what every adult can see.
All in all, this is a movie that adults and kids alike will enjoy watching. It not only makes adults think, but also makes children feel happy.
