Judi Dench whispers you into a rainforest where ants are skyscrapers and dewdrops are bombs.
Explore the extraordinary hidden world of insects, where a leaf weighs more than a car, rain drops feel like exploding hand grenades and a blade of grass soars like a skyscraper. Shot on location in the Borneo rainforest, Bugs! brings the beautiful and dangerous universe of its tiny stars up close and personal with cutting-edge technology that magnifies them up to 250,000 times their normal size.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Borneo's Mulu National Park, a UNESCO site so remote the crew had to helicopter equipment in and build a custom rain shelter for the IMAX cameras.
This was Judi Dench's first and only IMAX documentary narration — she reportedly took the gig because she wanted to do something her grandkids could actually watch.
