The Ant Bully
New in town, friendless and tormented by a neighborhood bully, young Lucas Nickle has been frustrated. Until one day, he attacks an anthill with a squirt gun and he's magically shrunken down to insect size and sentenced to hard labor in the ruins.

Cute animated movie with a message for kids.

While the animation, particularly in the action set pieces, is indeed well done, it's nothing revolutionary nor imaginative that stands out from the rest in this CG-feature-a-week marketplace.

... The Ant Bully is just a great ride, but all that moralizing diminishes the fun of feeling ant-sized yourself and being immersed in Lucas's incredible adventures.

One of those animated features you can enjoy even without a kid by your side.

[It's] a rousing adventure capped with just the right measure of sweetness... John A. Davis shows heaps of invention.

... unnecessary ...

[T]he movie certainly means well, and its worthwhile message (teamwork is good, selfishness is bad) should penetrate the brains of kids old enough to stay in their seats and pay attention to it.

If the Ant Bully story is generic, it is never plodding. It zips along quite nicely, aided by the especially well-constructed action sequences.

It's a fun adventure fantasy, and I was never bored...

It's imaginative and amusing with its engaging characters and nicely crafted animation, even though the ants themselves are visually the least interesting ... Uplifting and bright.

Kiddie-friendly toilet humour, a whiff of suspense and familiar voice actors make it passably entertaining, but there's little warmth or emotional satisfaction to be had from its cynical characters.

Isn't clever or inventive enough to make up for its repetitive and lackluster storytelling.
