The Grasshopper and the Ants (1934) on Netflix

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 the coming 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 took him in and warmed him up. The queen tells him only those who work can eat so he must play for them. —Jon Reeves 1930santqueengrasshopperfiddle15 morePlot summaryPlot synopsisTaglinesA grasshopper learns a lesson about hard work.GenresAnimationShortComedyFamilyMusicalCertificateApprovedParents guide
