Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Let's be realistic.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Well, what can I say? The title says it all. My parents took me and my sister to see this when it came out, because there wasn't anything else, and I was expecting it to be something that would be stupid and not worth seeing again, but I was wrong, again. It wasn't bad at all. It was pretty cute, to say the least. The acting was excellent, the story line was great (not to mention original), the animation was decent, everything was nearly perfect. Nothing excessive was used here. And it gives a pretty good message about treating different people nicely, whether they're human or not. I'd recommend this to anyone ages 8 and up. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

This one is just a formulaic rehash of stuff we've seen and heard before. There's not much of a story here, and the characters are paper thin cutouts with the voices of bored celebs who wanted some extra milk money between films.A kid gets shrunk by some ants who he blasted with a garden hose. You don't even see him get shrunk (wasn't this an animated film?); he just wakes up next to his giant underwear. The 21st Century society colony of ants decide to "teach him our ways," and the moral (whatever it is) of the film has been sloppily served up. If you hear a snoring noise, that's your kids who have nodded off by now from the blank-page scripting. You'll probably follow them in the next few minutes; this one is definitely a cure for insomniacs. If the dead-end story doesn't anesthetize you, the lame cultural one-liners will.The baddie is ripped off directly from Over the Hedge, with all the trimmings: smoking, evil laughing, overweight etc. He wasn't funny in that movie; he's even worse here. Battles between the ants and the bad guy are CGI splashes of color and out of focus images. Why? Because there really isn't anything to see. Somebody's always following a long distance, with the same blurry effect, and for the same blurry reason.Good to torment a disobedient child with, or to put a hyper one to sleep. But that's all.

A entertaining kids movie. Much better then i thought it would be. I even laughed a few times. This is one to see with the family or if you want a light movie that can be enjoyed.The voice acting was great and the computer animation was good. This has charm and the must for a family looking for a good kids movie.This is not a kids movie where you don't have to worry about the content. There was some nudity(kind of). There are some references to genitals and there are some dead ants seen.A boy who is being bullied seems to take his rage out on the ants in his front yard. But the ants have made a devise that shrinks people and he gets shrunk. Not a very original story it has been used a few times.I recommend it to the kids out there. It is funny and has charm.6/10

'Ant Bully' is another cute animated film with ants. Many might compare it to Dreamworks's 'Antz' and if I'm told to pick one, then 'Ant Bully' is the better one. Of course the story isn't anything new per se but it moves at a steady pace and the characters are very likable. Besides, there's no harm in enjoying some laugh-out-loud moments. For me it was a good 90 minutes spent laughing as I was watching it with my mom and little sister (who enjoyed it too). Voice talents include names like Nicolas Cage, Lily Tomlin, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Paul Giamatti and many more. All of them do fairly well, though Cage appears to sound a little theatrical urban. The animation is brilliant. I especially like how the aunt 'colonization' was created with vibrant colours and attention to detail. Watch out for some cute shorts of the ants. All in all, this is a cute film to enjoy with the family.
