A childhood favourite of mine, and it's still good stuff twenty years since it came out.

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2018)

Antz is '90s entertainment embodied in CGI: it's got an underdog character named Z (voiced by Woody Allen) reluctant about the world he's stuck in, and of course the underdog gets a girl, Sharon Stone's Princess Bala, has a celebrity-voiced best-friend in Sylvester Stallone's Weaver and of course there's the menacing all-rotten baddie General Mandible voiced by Gene Hackman. Antz may be derivative of other movies but it worked in introducing audiences with CG-animation in cinema outside of PIXAR's Toy Story. And Woody Allen is of course a joy to listen to in the movie.
Antz is a movie's movie and it deserves a watch for its period-specific charm and for showing people how DreamWorks came to compete with PIXAR in the long-run. It's rather good stuff. 4/5 stars.
