10 Worst Things Disney Heroes Have Done
3. Flik Ruins The Harvest And Deceives The Ants - A Bug's Life
A Bug's Life: the story of an ant that just can't catch a break.
Flik is one of the many hundreds of workers in his colony, but what makes him stand out is his apparent position as an inventor. I say 'apparent' because very little that he actually invents ends up working as intended.
See the contraption he designs to make harvesting nuts and seeds quicker. Although it appears to be quite efficient, he then uses it to knock all of their gatherings into a nearby creek, ruining the harvest.
If that wasn't bad enough, this harvest was actually the mandatory contribution to the grasshoppers, led by the dangerous Hopper.
Flik believes that they can find some tough bugs to fend off the grasshoppers and leaves to find some new allies.
The first bugs he comes across are a mismatched circus troupe. You'd like to think that Flik would ignore this rag-tag bunch and go and look for some actual help, but alas, no.
His instant reaction is to pretend the bugs are warriors and deceive everyone, including his own colony.
This, too, inevitably fails when their origins are discovered, and as a result, Hopper takes over their island, steals their winter food supply and plans to assassinate the queen.
Nice going, Flik.
