| ~ Hopper to his brother Molt, showing his sense of honor. |
| “ | You let one ant stand up to us, then they ALL might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of LIFE! It's not about food. It's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! Does anybody else want to stay? | „ |
| ~ Hopper's speech to the Grasshoppers on why they have to return to Ant Island. |
| “ | Hopper: You think it's over?! Flik: No, no, no, no, I-I can explain! Hopper: All your little stunt did was buy them time! Flik: No, please! Please, Hopper- Hopper: (Hopper grabs Flik by the throat) I'll get more grasshoppers and be back next season, but you won't! |

Hopper is the main antagonist of Pixar's 2nd full-length animated feature film A Bug's Life.
He is the cunning, xenophobic, and cruel leader of a gang of grasshoppers and Flik's arch-nemesis.
He was voiced by Kevin Spacey, who also played Keyser Söze in The Usual Suspects, Lex Luthor in Superman Returns, and Jonathan Irons in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He is a tyrannical slaver who held no love for his affectionate yet clumsy younger brother Molt, as he really wanted to kill him, only not doing so due to making a promise to their late mother that he would never do it.
- He enslaved the entire ant colony, making them gather food for him and the rest of his grasshopper army every year, terrorizing them to scare them into submission if they failed.
- He held Princess Dot right up close to Thumper in front of the other ants just to send a message while mocking her, as punishment for not receiving the food the ants had promised him.
- After Flik demanded him to release Dot, he held her in front of Flik and challenged him to take her from him. When Flik showed too much fear to directly challenge him, he ordered him to get back with his own before releasing Dot and she did the same.
- While he was willing to give the ants a second chance to bring him the food he wanted, it was only for pragmatic reasons as he decided to make them gather food during the rainy season (which is the time that the ants need it the most) and demanded double the amount of grain to compensate.
- When Axel, Loco and one of his henchmen questioned his reason of going back to the ant colony despite them having tons of food, he buried them alive under a pile of grain which killed them just to make a point about the ants’ potential uprising following Flik’s intervention.
- He had the grasshoppers occupy the ant colony until they've gathered all the food on the island because he is displeased by the amount of grain they offered him, essentially sentencing them to starvation, in order to maintain his dominance over them.
- He planned to crush the ant queen to death, which would result in repopulation of the ant colony becoming impossible, to set an example and further terrorize the colony into serving him.
- He had Thumper brutally beat up Flik in front of the other ants for duping him with a fake bird and nearly killed Flik when he accused him of being scared of the ants before Princess Atta intervened.
- After escaping from the cannon Flik and the others trapped him into, he took flight and snatched up Flik in an attempt to kill him.
- He nearly killed Flik again by strangling him while promising to bring his army to the ant colony the following year.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He has a moment of honor in which he made a promise to his mother on her deathbed to never kill his younger brother Molt and kept that promise out of respect for her despite his own desires.
Trivia[]
- Hopper is the first villain to be approved as Near Pure Evil.
