God, I love this site. That's it. Thanks a lot! ^_^
An animated short set in a school for insects, but they're cartoony and sort of humanoid.
From what I recall, the main character is a smaller bug, like a brown fly. I think he had spiky hair and was wearing a yellow T-shirt and red sneakers. He also played the flute. He's picked on by these other bigger bugs/students, but the flute bug saves the bully bugs from being under a glass or from some peril. It's a bit fuzzy.
There was also this female bug teacher who was attractive and could sing. She was like a light purple, with big black hair and wearing a short black dress.
Judging by the animation and clothes the bugs were wearing, I'm guessing early 1990s was when it made.
