Excited bug fanfare greets the opening of a lavish new hotel for bugs, which is chock full of the best resort amenities any bug could want. Colorful digital illustrations show off the many types of cartoon-like bugs and the many available activities. All are happy, until a slimy slug arrives looking for a room and is turned away. Bugs of all types become quite upset about the slug rejection, so much so that the clerk changes course, brings the slug back for a room, and asks them to join the party. An unexpected tale about accepting others no matter how different they may be.
