It deals with Katy, a young caterpillar who is curious and playful, who lives in a cherry tree with her three sisters. Having had enough of eating cherry leaves all day long, one day she leaves her tree and encounters the spirit of Mother Nature, who tells the young caterpillar that she must make a journey to discover by herself who she really is. In the progress, Katy meets many animals, makes new friends, learns a lot of things about the world, and ultimately achieves her dream by metamorphosing into a butterfly.Based on an original story by singer Silvia Roche (which was also the basis for the music album of the same name) the movie was a huge success in Mexico and Spain, and was even dubbed in English too. The film got a sequel in 1987 called Katy, Kiki y Koko (Katy Meets the Aliens or Katy and the Katerpillar Kids in English). In it, Katy now as an adult butterfly, lives in the same cherry tree she used to live with her children, Kiki and Koko, two young caterpillars who are as curious and adventurous as Katy herself used to. Katy loves her children, but has become a somewhat overprotective Mama Bear, which sometimes annoys them. Meanwhile, a group of Starfish Aliens from a lonely asteroid send one member of their species to Earth to capture creatures for food so they can devour them and regain their energy. Alien X as he is called, makes landfall in the forest where Katy and her friends live and it's up to the two young caterpillars to stop him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Artistic License – Biology: Lots of it. Mostly regarding insect, bird and reptilian biology. Katy herself metamorphoses in a cocoon, yet in real life moth caterpillars are the ones who encase themselves in cocoons, while butterfly caterpillars encase themselves in chrysalids. The chameleons change colors to blend into their surroundings, which is a common misconception and not the actual reason why chameleons change color.

Always a Bigger Fish: In the first movie, a dragonfly seemingly tries to make a meal out of Katy, but flees in terror when it sees a spiderweb nearby.
