An all-star cast--including such A-list stars as Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, and Meryl Streep--lend their voices to The Ant Bully. Social misfit Lucas gets bullied by the bigger boys in his neighborhood, so he takes out his frustrations on the only things around smaller than him: An ant hill on his front lawn. After being flooded and stepped on, the ants fight back when ant wizard Zoc (Cage, National Treasure) develops a potion that shrinks Lucas down to bug-size. But Zoc's thirst for revenge gets foiled when the beatific ant queen (Streep, The Devil Wears Prada) decrees that Lucas must learn to live like an ant, and Zoc's girlfriend Hova (Roberts, Runaway Bride) takes up the task of teaching the unhappy boy how to value others over himself. The animation of The Ant Bully makes good use of scale as Lucas grapples with the gigantic world around him, but the writing is not so imaginative; the name actors are thrown away on bland characters and lackluster dialogue. The lessons Lucas learns are admirable (and amusingly Communist in flavor), but the way he learns them feels contrived and uncompelling. It's too bad, because there probably won't be many other movies featuring the combined talents of Meryl Streep and Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness). Also featuring Ricardo Montalban (Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan), Lily Tomlin (Nashville), and Paul Giamatti (Sideways) as a sleazy exterminator. --Bret Fetzer

"And The Dreaded Yellow Rain..." April 28, 2009
Penny Dreadful (Under Your Skin)
This was a cute and sophisticated movie that ended way too soon. It was as enjoyable as Antz and A Bug's Life were in ye olden days of the '90's and is one further sign we are dwelling in, if not a golden age of animation, then surely something not far distant. The Ant Bully makes a nice addition to any animation-lover's video library (or is that a passe term nowadays?) and Blu-ray is the format for which this film was made!
Excellent performances February 24, 2009
Angelique (New Zealand)
Excellent movie, I strongly recommend it. The performances were magnificent, Julia Robert, Nicolas Cage, all of them, and of course, Zack Tyler Eisen, he is so young, and did and excellent job and has a great voice. I highly recommend this movie, to young and all... Enjoy!
