Where There Is No Intelligence, There Is Epic Fantasy (Or, Don't Bug Me, I'm a King)

[We briefly considered doing a Thursday Three-Way of bug movies in June. ("June Bugs." Get it?) In the intro, Phil would have said something to the effect that his anal obsessive-compulsive precocious freak-nerd nine-year old self would have impatiently pointed out that "June Bug" is incorrect nomenclature. They are, in fact, May Beetles. But nearly forty years later, mellowed by good food, better beer, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, Phil is now prepared to accept the popular sobriquet. And besides, it's a B-52s song. As a farewell to June and its bugs, here is one spectacular bug-movie mash-up from Phil.]

To save them from the Blitz, the four Pevensie children are sent to the countryside to stay with their uncle, eccentric entomologist Dr. Nils Hellstrom.
