HEART OF COURAGE | 3d Animation Film | MAAC 24Fps | GIRISH PARK- Kolkata

In a vibrant insect village hidden within a deep jungle, a shy and skinny grasshopper musician dreams quietly of a simple life. One morning, he meets a graceful butterfly who helps him after he stumbles and drops his violin. Her kindness makes him fall in love instantly.

But his heart breaks when he later sees her with the village champion — a muscular, proud beetle, winner of the “Insect of the Year” contest. Feeling small and unworthy, the grasshopper discovers a poster of the beetle posing with the butterfly. Motivated by jealousy and love, he decides to transform himself.

He joins the insect gym — a quirky place built from earbuds, twigs, leaves, and bottle caps. Though other insects laugh at his weak body, he refuses to quit. Through determination, endless training, and hope, he slowly begins to change.

On the day of the new Insect of the Year competition, the beetle once again wins first place. The grasshopper manages to secure third, earning small applause. But before celebrations begin, a dangerous lizard, the predator feared by all insects, suddenly attacks the stage, scattering everyone in panic.

The butterfly freezes in fear as the lizard charges toward her. Seeing her in danger, the grasshopper forgets his own fear and leaps forward. He jumps high and lands a brave kick to the lizard’s eye, giving the butterfly time to escape. He grabs her hand and leads her to safety in the mushroom forest.

After the lizard leaves in frustration, the villagers return and realize the truth:

the grasshopper is the real hero.

He is celebrated, honoured and the butterfly, touched by his courage and kindness, falls in love with him.



In the final moment, the grasshopper and butterfly embrace, beginning a new story together.
