You wouldn't expect this from a Disney picture.

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 2001)

I saw "Antz" in 1998 at cinema and I thought it was a wonderful computer animated movie. Since I am a Woody Allen fan, I have found it a very good idea to give Woody's character to the 'hero' ant. I wanted to check "A Bug's Life" at cinema, but I thought it couldn't be better than "Antz" and it was advertised as a real children film, so I didn't want to be disappointed. Now I know I was wrong. There are several good surprises in this wonderful film. Firstly, there are no stupid songs in it, which are just slow the story down (don't forget this is a Disney production, until "Atlantis" it was compulsory to put songs in Disney animations). Secondly the sophisticated irony and the humor. Of course its less sarcastic than "Antz" because it was made for children but adults can enjoy it very much, too. The animation is fantastic, I'm sure the other comment writers have written dozens of lines about it, so I don't want to go into details, but I have to say that nothing can replace real drawings. I know this is a computer animated movie and I might seem conservative, but that's the only thing I miss from this picture. Maybe that's why I prefer "Nightmare Before Christmas" & "James and the Giant Peach". It's sure this is my second favourite animated film after "The Iron Giant" and from technical point of view it surpasses "Antz". The only thing I would like to draw the attention to is during the end titles where you can see the collection of the "faulted scenes". It's one of the best gag of the animation history. The best is at the end.
