Insectibles

recommended age Unlock co-watching from 5

Zak and his insect friends crash into an underground ant colony whose serene queen and servant ants insist on pampering and feeding the caterpillar Chowser as 'the green one.' Growing suspicious, Zak finds a book he reads as 'how to eat caterpillars' and becomes convinced the ants plan to cook and eat his friend, which leads to a chase. The ants then reveal the book actually says 'how to treat caterpillars' and that they only wanted to collect Chowser's sweat for an aromatherapy centre. The friends turn down the offer to stay and head home together.
