Goodish fun, though a bit one-note

Rating: 5/10 (30 April 2020)

A colony of ants is under the thumb of the grasshoppers, who extort food from the ants. One ant, Flik, decides to do something about this. He sets out to the city to find some warrior bugs to fight the grasshoppers. Hew returns with an assortment of characters he believes will be enough to battle the ant's oppressors, only to find that they're a troupe of circus performers.
Okayish. Starts interestingly and originally enough: the mixing of the traits of the various bugs with human qualities was initially quite funny and clever. However, this wears off pretty quickly as this becomes the writer-directors' go-to form of humour.
Similarly, the plot is initially quite interesting but soon degenerates into pretty basic action-comedy stuff.
It all feels so predictable and basic after a while.
This said, it is reasonably fun and does have some good comedic moments. Kids will love it.
