“Antz” is a fun movie for adults and for children, but occasionally lacks originality. The animation is definitely fine, but still nothing compared to what Disney can and has done.

[Antz is] a bizarre, tonally dissonant mess of a movie. Apparently we were willing to overlook such issues 22 years ago.

In a world of cookie-cutter movies at least it tries a bunch of weird stuff.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Mar 12, 2019

Amid all the ingenuity and smartness, the work fails to move and contains little wonderment - ironically appropriating the zealous industry of its on-screen ants.

It's the noble attempt by the doomed PDI to announce its worthiness to the world

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 29, 2018

Great effects, but surprisingly violent. Lacks kid appeal.

Kids may be puzzled by rebellious worker ants chanting Marxist slogans, but their parental guides may welcome the relief from the prevailing blandness of family films.

By any standard, the film is a remarkable technical achievement.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 4, 2008

The artwork is spectacular, vocal performances uniformly capable and the jokes appealing to both adults and children.

Appeals to your daydreams when you were a kid and you wondered about the daily physical hassles of an ant.

Visually striking and dynamically shot, this has strong characters and no shortage of incident.

Though the story is standard formula kids' fare, the Allen presence brings an adult swing to it, making it more than passable for both.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | May 26, 2006

Succeeds at pushing the technology as well as and offering intelligent family fare that won't leave adults bored. Great fun.

A clever, funny, fascinating to watch film that could have been more.

...the message of Antz is this: Freedom of choice is important, but one should use their freedom to be decent, responsible, humble, and helpful.

Full Review | Original Score: A | Jan 15, 2005

A few chuckles here and there, and a semi-interesting story line, but nothing too outstanding.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 13, 2004

Has enough of a story to keep a child engaged and a script clever enough to keep an adult amused.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 28, 2004

exciting, often hilarious and frequently wondrous film... Adults who live in fear of seeing non-Disney animated movies would be well-advised to overcome their prejudices.
