Synopsis

In a quiet, peaceful clearing, the remnants of an abandoned picnic ignite a conflict between two ant tribes. A courageous young ladybug becomes entangled in the struggle. He forms a bond with Mandible, the leader of the black ants, and assists him in defending the anthill from the attack of the fierce red ant warriors, commanded by the intimidating Butor. The story unfolds as an extraordinary journey seen from the ground up.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
