Do you want a poorly animated CG movie with a tired story bolstered only by an array of big name actor's voices? Because that's how you get Antz.

Oh wow, they used a 'z' instead of an 's'. They are so rebellious and edgy and cool. It's obvious they called the main character Z just so they could do this and whoever came up with that idea is a cunt.

Wait, did this steal from 'A Bugs life' or was it the other way around? Anyhow, it's the usual 'weirdo saves the collective by following his heart' blabber trying to set itself apart by a stellar cast of voice talent. And say what you will about the success of that approach, but it is still by far the best Woody Allen movie out there.

I found it to be a poor man's A Bug's Life. The animation is nowhere near up to Pixar par to the point where I'd dare go as far as to say it's "mediocre." While you'd think it's a kids movie it's far more of a Woody Allen film that's toned down just enough to make it for young adults. Personally I found the most entertaining character was, and I never thought I'd say this, Sylvester Stallone. This film isn't bad but just feels really mediocre.

I seem to have reviewed it more warmly than most, but I remember actually finding it pretty entertaining, and even better than the similar A Bug's Life by Pixar. For an early CGI film it didn't look half bad, and something about Woody Allen and Sly Stallone acting together is just bizarre enough to work.

Antz is one of the biggest scandals and frauds ever to come out in the 90s. As evidence, it was made at the exact same time as Pixar's immensely inferior animated blockbuster A Bug's Life. On its own without the initial release of that previous film overshadowing it's core it still fails miserably. The visuals itself are cruddy and amateurishly done while it tries to recover but falls back down with abominable, contemptible voice acting. Woody Allen is the only redeeming quality. Shameful.

Near the beginning, I liked Antz. It was funny, charming, had a real edge to it, and also possessed some intellectual merit. Then, mid-way through, it took the final two parts of that away from me, and left only a film that seemed aimed at children. For an animated film to be a great success, you need to leave something in it for all audiences. If you do, the crowd can look past some dated animation in order to appreciate the film underneath. In this case, for the most part, I couldn't.

Antz told an acceptable story. This debut from Dreamworks tried to use the Pixar formula but just ended up fumbling. Unlike Pixar movies that aim for all audiences to enjoy their movies, this movie seemed to be more geared towards adults. The actors they got to play the parts, the story, and even the style of the animation was aimed at more of an adult audience than a kids audience so the movie felt more dreary than Pixar titles. It isn't a terrible debut but it's not something I'd watch again.

Strictly worse Bugs Life rip on release, this hasn't aged particularly well, though it probably benefits from escaping direct comparison. The visuals were pretty ropey in 1998, and it took a long time for the other animation houses to catch up with what Pixar were doing. The humour is slightly too willfully edgy and mean spirited to recommend as a kids' film, and of course there are far more and better animated options now than there were back then. Doesn't hold up as adult entertainment either.

I actually like this a bit better than A Bug's Life. The characters are more interesting and the jokes are more adult, yet still appropriate for kids aside from some mild swearing here and there. Though the story is still a little cliche and the animation doesn't hold up as well, but it makes up for that by the wise decision of giving each ant a unique design unlike with A Bug's Life.

I knew it was more of a grown-up movie when I first watched it as a kid, but watching it again as an adult, one realizes it is surprisingly mature and grim. Not the nicest character design, and the CGI is not the best of the late '90s, but it still holds alright. Maybe not the most interesting for kids nowadays however, which could be a problem target audience-wise.

Antz's humor will go over the heads of the average under-12 viewer. Image-conscious adults should not feel embarrassed about sitting through this "kids' movie." The big-name vocal cast is expertly-selected. Where else can you find Woody Allen, Sylvester Stallone, Anne Bancroft, Christopher Walken, Sharon Stone, and Gene Hackman in the same film?

I like to take shots at DreamWorks Animation every chance I get for their sub-par product and their shameless Pixar rip-offs. So I really wanted to hate this, as it seems like it was greenlit solely to combat A Bug's Life. And while that may indeed be true, and the animation quality here is weak, the movie still entertains. It's more adult-oriented than its Pixar equivalent, and basically works as a CGI Woody Allen film. Its stacked cast of voice-actors is what really gets it through.
