The life of an ant is not the same as the life of Antz

Rating: 7/10 (26 January 1999)

The worst problem with this movie is the comparison to the other bug movie of the year, "Antz."
It is a softer, more attractive, and in a way, funnier movie than Antz, yet... Something was definitely missing. The characters lacked heart, the voices were thin, it lacked the heart that I expect from a film.
Dave Foley was an appropriate enough voice, but could not compare to Woody Allen (whom I am NOT a big fan of.) The princess's voice was still too weak and thin to be an Ant. Someone with a more powerful voice (like Rosey) would have made (O'Donnell of course) a better voice there, just to make a more ant like voice (yes, I talk to ants all of the time :)
Artistically, the film was woo hoo. Cannot be stated any better. Even if the ants only had four legs. The crowd scenes were beautiful and had to be seen.
Enough chatter, go see the flik, er flick...
