Just as winter begins to blanket his sleepy village, a little ladybug cozies his way into a chestnut factory and finds himself accidentally trapped inside a shipment heading for the Caribbean! His parent, through some quick investigative work, figures out the little guy’s exotic destination and sets out on a heroic overseas journey to rescue his beloved offspring. The mission gets more complicated when the father ladybug learns that his son’s new Caribbean home is on the verge of being demolished by a massive construction project. Along with some help from an old pal who comes sailing to the rescue, this crew of colourful teensy heroes develops an elaborate plan to save a precious patch of rainforest.

It noticeably lacks the directness, playfulness and scale of the first film, as well as the grotesqueness and development of one idea of the bedtime story template. There is hardly half as much as last time, and even the grotesque escapades are somewhat subdued. Compared to the first film and the series, it is more focused on smaller children, but at the same time it is much more edgy, which means that it does not avoid occasional passages when the little ones will freak out. None of this means, however, that it isn't still tacky cute fun, but you have to accept that it stands in the shadow of its predecessors.

Compared to the previous film, this one seemed somehow emptier and at the same time unnecessarily complicated with various subplots, but despite the multiple Pixar rip-offs, it was still beautiful with many disarming moments.
