Nobody is actually eaten, but there is a scene where the threat of being swallowed whole is the source of suspense.

Minor spoilers below!

Around halfway the kids find a cookie in the garden, and immediately after they encounter a giant ant that becomes their companion for a while. Not long after, a scorpion appears. Both can be triggering.

there are ants and/or roaches in this movie based on my memory from childhood. and because the people are small, the bugs are huge.

edit: someone in the spider section wrote that there are giant ants and a giant scorpion

The shrunken characters befriend an ant, who is not sapient and doesn't speak but has enough personality to qualify as a character who the audience might become attached to.

Not in a deliberate or malicious way, but there's a scene where a character is dancing like no-one is watching, unaware that the neighbors can see her through the window.
