Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
callumgra This rips off the cover of ant bully ANTZ and a bugs life 3 movies in this beats all video brinquedo and other ripoff productions this takes the movie of cancer
frankykog Just a great movie. Had some strange and disturbing parts, but was just an entertaining movie to watch! It had great animation, good characters, and a fantastic plot! Let's hope that more movies like this come out!
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Bug Bites: An Ant's Life" is a 25-minute animated short film written and directed by Michael Schelp. It is an American English-language production and the title already tells you that this film intended to shamelessly cash in with the success of "A Bug's Life". This would have been fine actually if it still had been an individually creative production, but it is no such thing. The graphic side is abysmal. And it is bad to a level where it leaves a really bad note on all the other aspects too. One example would be when we hear a bug eat a grass leaf I think, but we see that his mouth isn't even close enough for eating. Still we hear him chewing. This is just one example where the animation destroys the story and there are several other moments where it is just not working out. Actually, it is difficult to understand the plot at all because of this major deficit. Schelp has made several other films that are heavily connected to successful animated movies, but this one here has to be one of the worst for sure. Still, there is one aspect that is okay: the voice acting. You cannot blame the cast list for anything that is wrong with this movie. But they cannot save it either because there is so much else wrong here. Stay far far away.
joebrian55 This has got to be one of the worst cartoons of all time. Even though it was produced in the 1990's when independent films produced with computer animation were not between barely and not at all like Pixar and DreamWorks, it still sucks.This whole mess of a CGI cartoon film is so awful that the only age group that could possibly like it would be little children who can't tell a knock-off from a blockbuster hit. The character designs are completely crappy, there seem to be at least only a couple pieces of music (played over and over at parts mind you) and the geckos look more like Kermit the Frog was turned into a lizard.In one scene, the caterpillar eating a leaf is actually the caterpillar moving its mouth while a corner of the leaf is suspended from the ground! The animation is so crappy that it makes a VeggieTales tape seem like Toy Story.I purposely watched it after I saw the DVD at my local library, and knew from looking at the cover that it is a ripoff of A Bug's Life. If you want a movie about bugs, get A Bug's Life or Antz, and not this piece of junk!
