Synopsis

The neighbourhood bully is making Lucas Nickle's life miserable, so much so that Lucas takes it out on the ants in his back garden. Of course, the ants are having none of it, to the extent that Zoc the genius ant wizard makes a potion to shrink Lucas to the size of them! Eventually, Lucas and the ants become friends despite his past misdemeanours - but that friendship is soon put to the test, in this smart and funny animated story.
