All the old delight, innocence and anticipation are still here in this telling of a children's classic. The pretty little girl, her grandmother and the wicked old wolf have stepped from the storybook onto the screen through the magic of animation. It is a film that all children will enjoy--as will adults who like reassurances that evil gets the chop in the end.

As in the classic fable, the grasshopper plays his fiddle and lives for the moment, while the industrious ants squirrel away massive amounts of food for the winter. With his song, he's able to convince at least one small ant until the queen arrives and scares him back to work. The queen warns the grasshopper of the trouble he'll be in, come winter. Winter comes, and the grasshopper, near starvation, stumbles across the ants, who are having a full-on feast in their snug little tree. They take him in and warm him up. The queen tells him only those who work can eat so he must play for them. Written by Jon Reeves
