Excellent, a Must See

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

We've seen this plot over and over again (see Dances with Wolves, Avatar, Ferngully, etc.) and this one does it worst than a lot of them. Similar to Ferngully, this is a cartoon movie with an overt message of acceptance of something that is helpless against us. While this is an important message, it is done very poorly.The jokes in this one all fall flat, the voice acting is poor, the animation is C-average, and the plot is boring and will make you sleepy. The director really had an opportunity to do some fun things with space and size distortion from an ant's perspective but we really don't get enough scenes regarding this. The kite-surfing was really the only fun one that comes to my mind. Besides this, the other ones don't really capture your attention. Skip this one.

This is a first rate film and for me to say this about anything to do with Animation is saying something because I am not one for animated films, But this film is chock full of Great family values like treating others how you want to be treated, and anti Bullying messages. It teaches teamwork and trust I was in to this film from the start. Please rent this form your local Library or purchase it for your kids I would say it is for all audiences YOUNG ANd Old alike. it also teaches a respect for nature which is a healthy value to teach a child I tip my hat to Warner Brothers, and to Legendary Pictures and to MR. Tom Hanks the producer.

From director John A. Davis, and the rest of the team that created Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, I wasn't expecting much from this computer animated film, but I still went for it. Basically ten-year-old Lucas Nickle (Zach Tyler), moved in a new neighbourhood, has no friends, and is the target for a local bully and his gang. The only thing Lucas can do to express his anger is bully the ants in his front garden, and the ants themselves are living in fear of the giant "Destroyer". Wizard ant Zoc (Nicolas Cage) has invented a magic potion that he is sure will shrink Lucas down to their size, and it works, and they drag him down to their colony. As punishment for endangering all the ants, Lucas is sentenced to live and work amongst the insects, and slowly this does open his eyes up, not just to what he has been doing, but to what the ants get up to, e.g. teamwork. But Lucas forgot that he signed a form to get the help of bug exterminator Stan Beals (Paul Giamatti) to vaporise the colony, so with the help of all ants and some wasps, they team up to save everyone. Also starring Julia Roberts as Hova, Meryl Streep as Queen, Jerry Maguire's Regina King as Kreela, The Evil Dead's Bruce Campbell as Fugax, Lily Tomlin as Mommo, Scary Movie's Cheri Oteri as Doreen Nickle, The Nutty Professor's Larry Miller as Fred Nickle, Allison Mack as Tiffany Nickle and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan's Ricardo Montalban as Head of Council. This film was obviously very hyped with the list of big stars providing their voices, and while the animation is good, the story that goes with it is a little dry, but I suppose there is some fun to be had for the family. Okay!

What can I say? I liked this movie. Sure, the ant-based animation has reached its limit, I think, but there's always room for another one if the film itself is any good. Ant Bully works on a number of levels. It has the bright colours and action that will keep small kids happy and also enough adult in jokes and humour to satisfy watching parents.The voice cast is just about as good as you could hope for... Nicolas Cage, Paul Giamatti to name but a couple. Even Meryl Streep for goodness sake! But for me the highlight of the movie was Bruce Campbell's character, Fugax. Brucey fans will have no trouble watching this film, whether with their kids or alone. He totally steals the show as the slightly crazed but good-hearted scout ant.Sure, there have been lots of ant movies over the last few years, certainly enough to be sick of them. It seems like the movie industry works to death any theme that seems to do well.....rather like they are doing with penguin themed animations now. But Ant Bully still succeeds where others fail for simple reason that it is fun.There are a couple of things parents might want to be ready for when watching with very young children. There's a scene where a small bug gets incinerated by a beam of sunlight, for instance. Also the wasps in the film are about ten times the size of the ants and have no cutesy anthropomorphic features to make them appear less sinister than they come across in the film. Likewise, although the movie has a strong message against bullying I wonder how many kids will go home and find an ants nest to pour water down.But, on the whole, thoroughly enjoyable entertainment that should have done better than it did at the box office.
