Sophisticated, funny, and joyously subversive animated bug epic.

A charmer, complete with cute critters voiced by the ultrafamous.

Alright, if you all really think this is not for youngsters, well that depends on what they think. I first saw this when I was 8 and this was the type of animated entertainment of action and violence I looked forward to. Besides, you have to find Antz sense of humor and language entertaining and the story is 83 minutes of amusingly menacing action!

Sorry, stinging fire ants couldn't make me reveal the outcome of this witty and, yes, surprisingly suspenseful adventure.

This witty, star-packed and visually splendid kids' movie provides a small-is-beautiful message served on a parodoxically epic scale.

The story is well-told, but so familiar that it renders the surrounding film a bright, shiny, dispensible bauble, an amusing diversion but not much more.

Adults also are more likely than kids to snicker at jokes.

Without a doubt, the animation is vibrant and electrifying; it's only the story that lacks.

A unique animated film. Most animated films come with the tagline "for adults and kids", but this one truly fits that description. This is one of the darkest animated kids movieI think I've ever seen. From a brutal war scene, to insects getting squashed, and discussions of depression, Antz is so different from your typically animated film, and for that it shines. That's not even mentioning the stellar and deep voice cast, touching moments, and epic scale.

Antz is quite a mobilized film as it does have quite a fair amount of construction with the scenery but the massacre does flood with some moments.

Althought Antz is sweet and funny, it unfortunately lacks that depth and remarkable sense of warmth that makes the Pixar films so wonderful and rewatchable.

A violent and gross "kids" movie with bad animation and a boring plot. Don't waste your time.

I hated when i discovered this and watching it, the film is stupid, boring, dumb, lame, but mostly this is really bad. The script is awful with a lot of cliches and lame dialog, the characters are boring and uninteresting, the humor is not funny, the animation ****, the message is bad revived and the climax is the most terrible climax i ever seen. For other side, some takes for the animation are OK, the voice acting it´s fine and there are some jokes than i got a little laugh. Overall, Antz is a really bad movie. I don´t understand why people love this, is a ripoff of A Bugs Life, only that is worse. The only thing that i can define this is as just an "Inzignificant" DreamWorks movie.
