Part of

Minuscule

The French animated series Minuscule tells the adventures of the insect world through a unique blend of live-action footage and CGI, with no dialogue — just brilliant visual storytelling. In the first film, a ladybug with a broken wing stumbles into the territory of black ants and forms a deep friendship with them, joining forces to fight off an army of red ants in what becomes an insect-sized "Trojan War." In the second film, Minuscule 2: Far from Home, a father-and-son ladybug duo are accidentally shipped from France to a Caribbean island, prompting the black ant and a little spider to form a dream team and embark on an ocean-crossing rescue mission full of warmth and adventure.

The soundtrack was probably my favourite thing about the whole film, and Mathieu Lamboley has done a magnificent job with the original soundtrack; it’s whimsical, tonal and absolutely wonderful. Maybe this is where I should leave it in my memory - eyes closed, listening to the music and meeps, knowing where everything was heading and finding myself wanting to skip ahead. No doubt this would be more captivating for a bebe.
