Woody Allen Animated Film for Adults

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 1999)

Antz is the rare animated film like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Lord of the Rings which is more for adults than children. The film is clever from the music, the subtle humor and of course building the movie around the Woody Allen character. In Annie Hall there is a short cartoon with Woody and Diane Keaton. No need to wonder about a full length Woody Allen animated film. Here it is.
The computer animation in Antz is not overwhelmingly beautiful as it is in A Bugs Life or even Toy Story. The film's color is often limited, a muddy brown or grey. Antz is always pleasing to look at but never looks great but just mediocre.
Quibbling aside, the film has laughs and with Woody Allen doing his thing very well is comfortable like a pair of old slippers.
