Julia Roberts, Alison Mack, Nicolas Cage

This deadly force of nature is actually Lucas (Zach Tyler, The Backyardigans), a little boy being bullied by bigger kids in hi...( read more)

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...( read more) -
November 21, 2007This cartoon is pretty good. Has lessons on being aware of your environment and working together. They didn't bother with trivialities like the ant colony having only female ants, etc.

May 7, 2007Sadly, my hopes for 'The Ant Bully' were higher than it delivered. A few nice moments (in an 'Innerspace' kinda way), but just not all that entertaining. Oh, and Julia Roberts may be a good actress, but she really can't do voice acting.

October 16, 2009I did like Cage's character in this but at the end of the day if you want to watch an animated insect film Antz is still by far the best - and not only because it has Christopher Walken and Sylvester Stallone as ants - mainly because it bigs up individuality, this one bigs up com...( read more)

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
The Ant Bully isn't a kid classic, but it's an enjoyable diversion until the next ant movie comes along. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though the story is predictable, the message is benign, and the visuals, particularly in IMAX 3-D, are stylized and surreal. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The Ant Bully, the latest computer-animated plea for interspecies understanding, provides a few moments of inventiveness and wit.

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
The Ant Bully exhibits little of the humanity that characterized Pixar's 1998 arthropod adventure A Bug's Life. full review

May 24, 2007Um, 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? -

September 29, 2006It 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.

September 9, 2006I 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!!! Except the amles that have wings, copulate and die, never work. MALES NEVER WORK< FORAGE OOR DEFEND THE COLONY! Please can someone can make an ant movie that is a little bit real biologically? 3) Special effects greaT!!
