Critic Reviews

  • Bob Mondello, NPR.org

    Personally, I think I liked "nothing" better.

  • David Edelstein, New York Magazine

    It's impersonal. It doesn't come from anywhere interesting.

  • Robert Wilonsky, Village Voice

    Rock has but two scenes in the film, but he needs a hundred more. Give the man his own movie, please, if only because it'd bee far better than this one.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    This is a beautifully animated, cleverly executed, warm and funny adventure.

  • Dana Stevens, Slate

    The movie's more than cute, funny, and (at 81 minutes) brisk enough to move families in and out of the multiplex in mass quantities, like the social insects we are.

    I enjoyed this movie for a few years but as time went by, I realized that it wasn't as good as I thought, it had some good jokes, a horrible and cliche plot, the characters were kinda weird, but I will admit I couldn't have chosen the voice actors any better myself.

  • Lady D


    One of the best Feature length Cartoons in the last few years. It will inevitably be compared to the likes of ?Antz? and ?A Bug?s Life?, but in my opinion, it has a much better storyline to it. <br/> <br/>Watch out for the guest appearances, which adults may find… More
