    You Know, Pepole May Read The Plot and Get Confused With This Film, and ''Honey, I Shrunk The Kids''. There's Just One Diffrence, While Disney's Movie is So-So, This Film is A Must-See.

    The Animation Was Brilliant. But, Just Like DreamWorks, Wanner Brothers is Not in The Same Leauge As PIXAR.

    But, The Villan, I Felt I've Seen Villan Once or Twice Before. The Villan Seems To Be Recycled From ''Over The Hedge''. But, While The ''Over The Hedge'' Villan is Goofy, This One is About As Menacing As The Jocker (If The Joker Killed Bugs Insted of Pepole).

    But, Ingnor Those 2 Minor Detels, This Film is A Must-See For The Whole Family. And I Do Mean The WHOLE Family.

    In the kingdom of the ants, few things are more frightening than the Destroyer, a giant that seems to exist only to wreak mass destruction on their home. This deadly force of nature is actually Lucas (Zach Tyler, The Backyardigans), a little boy being bullied by bigger kids in his neighborhood. Out of frustration, Lucas responds by attacking his front yard's ant hill with hoses, rocks, and kicks from his sneakers. The ants' resident wizard, Zoc (Nicolas Cage, The Rock), has a solution. He's created a powerful potion that shrinks Lucas down the ants' size. Now a captive of the ants, a frightened Lucas is brought before their queen (Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada) for judgment. She decides that Lucas must live as one of them, to teach him a lesson. Lucas's instructor in the ways of antdom is the kind-hearted Hova (Julia Roberts, Closer), who has her work cut out for her, because none of the other ants want their "Destroyer" living with them. When a death-happy exterminator (Paul Giamatti, Sideways) arrives to rid the entire lawn of all insects, it's up to Lucas to save the day. The animation is, for the most part, as dazzling as we've come to expect with our computer-created treats; the character design is attractive and admirable, and the "cave art" scenes (in which Lucas is introduced to the ant colony's drawn history, which resembles ancient cave drawings) are pretty stunning. And on a storytelling level, Davis' knack for comic timing is on display, with a well played verbal or sight gag earning a few chuckles here and there.

    It's An Ok Animation Very Well Made With Famous Celebs As Charachters The Only Thing I Can Complain Is The Whole Story Cause They Added So Many Little Stories To Make It A Long Movie The Story Is To Short Itself But It's A Decent Movie To Watch

    It could have been really cute, but then they added a bunch of potty talk and stuff...but parts of it were really funny! "Oh, you're so smart! Now I know why they call you peanut, because you have a brain the size of a PEANUT!!" It was really neat that Nicolas Cage was in it though!

    Lucas stands for what i was before the movie, and rokai is what i became after watching th movie. An inspiring tale about who is bigger and is abusing the fact that they are bigger. annoying but very much real. A good movie, nice balance of humor..the sweet rock was a nice touch !

    ''Fun and entertaining for pretty much everyone! It even kept Grandma entertained! '' Funny as!

    Now i know there's alot of family animated films out there. I was amused by this offering though. A few of these animated films to do with ants, the plot here is its about a 10 year old boy called Lucas Nickle who is shrunk by some ants who are antagonised by him.

    Julia Roberts does the voice for Hova who teaches Lucas.
    Nicolas Cage does the voice for Zoc.
    Bruce Campbell i instantly recognised his voice he voice-overs Fugax.

    So many funny scenarios in this, its huge fun and delicious animation all shiny. The flying bugs reminded me of the aliens in Halo. Also reminded me of Honey, I shrunk the kids the whole shrinking aspect.

    Nice family animated film for the kids and adults alike. Dont be put off by the ant Theme its got heart so its not just another clone.

    See if you like two other ant animation movies i like, similar in subject matter and looks:

    A Bug's Life, Antz

    A nice movie that it tells everybody the importance of team work and of people that abuse from other for only being "bigger"

    Um, Alan Cumming is not in this film. I have no idea what happened, but Bruce Campbell replaced him in the role of Fugax. You can still hear Cumming on the deleted scenes, but good luck finding any mention of The Ant Bully on his Wikipedia or Imdb pages.

    Any site-maintenance people reading this?

    It isn't that great and to be honest it was just a poor version and cheaper version of Bugs life and Antz. The story was unimaginative and unrealistic.

    I study ants and I am in my masters. 1) Fertile queens do not have wings!!!!!!!!!!! the wings fall when they copulate.. 2) All ANTS ARE FEMALES!!!
