A tremendous movie about heart, bravery, and courage

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 1999)

This animated feature about ants, grasshoppers, and various other bugs is a testament of never giving up despite the odds. The story begins as Flick, voiced by Dave Foley, the ant who always invents things one right after the other. After the grasshoppers come to invade the food supply, Flick comes up with the idea of getting warrior bugs to fight the grasshoppers. Not only will this idea give Flick respect it will allow him to get redemption as he has messed his prior invention up. This epic journey starts as Flick goes in search of the warrior bugs; he finds them in Circus bugs. Consumed for Princess Atta, voiced by Julia Louis Dreyfuss, and her approval, Flick hides the fact that these "warriors" are in fact circus bugs. I was smiling throughout this film because it was the one of the best animated features I've seen; in addition, this film far eclipses ANTZ because unlike ANTZ this film has a point, storyline, and direction. I recommend this movie because it allows the mind to sit down and relax and without tension watch the movie in peace. The ending is no surprise as far as the typical ending goes, but this is definitely a delight worth seeing on the big screen.
