Antz

As a kid I've once tried to watch it, but the horrifying war scene really scared me so I did not know who the story ends. Until now, and I feel ambivalent. I think til the war scene the plot was building well and if they take this war concept through the whole film in a serious way but also a more than 12 year-old child could understand what a war situation means in his/her own level. Because I feel those moments the spotlight of the film, which effected me a lot and now as a 24 year-old man gave me chills Z and Barbatus' dialogue and the horror what happened right before. Unfortunately they've taken the story in another way and it seemed like _A Bug's Life_ lookalike. Okay, that movie is my favourite Pixar animation so I don't demean _Antz_, just the tone of this two piece espeacially outisde indicated me I would've watched a more serious and dramatic cartoon, and left the brighter and child-orientated version to _A Bug's Life_.

Antz is a smart and fun CGI animated film that launched DreamWorks Animation. The film follows a neurotic ant who dreams of more than life as a worker, but when he ventures to the surface the world turns out to be quite different than he imagined. Featuring an all-star cast, the voice talents include Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Sylvester Stallone, and Christopher Walken. There’s a bit of stunt casting going on, but overall of the actors are used especially well and help to heighten comedy. And the CGI animation is quite imaginative and colorful despite the rather rudimentary look. Wildly entertaining, Antz is a great film that’s full of laughs for all ages.
