Who is Molt?

Molt is a character from Disney-Pixar’s A Bug’s Life (1998). He is a dimwitted, scatterbrained grasshopper and the younger brother of Hopper, the film’s primary antagonist.

Unlike Hopper, who is domineering and ruthless, Molt is more comedic and often the target of Hopper’s scorn and frustration. Despite his loyalty to his brother, Molt’s bumbling nature and tendency to blurt out inconvenient truths often irritate Hopper. His humorous personality provides a stark contrast to the oppressive and menacing demeanor of the grasshopper gang, making him a source of comic relief in the film.

Throughout A Bug’s Life, Molt struggles to meet Hopper’s expectations and tends to shy away from conflict. However, in a pivotal moment near the climax, Molt inadvertently contributes to the grasshoppers’ downfall when Hopper’s reign is challenged by the determined ants and their allies.

Molt is brought to life by the voice of Richard Kind, a talented actor and comedian known for his roles in television shows like Spin City and Mad About You. Kind’s energetic and quirky delivery adds depth to Molt’s character, making him a memorable and endearing part of the A Bug’s Life ensemble.
