Good, but Pixar can do better

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2000)

Although it's well done and infinitely better compared to the highly overrated "Antz", I couldn't help feeling dissapointed by this film, especially when compared to other Pixar offerings. Perhaps it's the fact that the jokes are forced compared to Toy Story, or maybe the fact that ants don't look as convincing as toys do. Dave Foley sounds a little too starry-eyed, which is a little out of character for his usual, pessimistic self seen in "Newsradio" and his various "Kids In The Hall" characters. He was clearly uncomfortable doing a film like this. Anyway, better than Antz, but not as good as the two "Toy Story" films.
