not quite innocuous enough for kids but lots of fun

Rating: Null/10 (13 February 2002)

Clever animated feature is a perspective of the world inhabited by ants. The focus of the story is on one woefully neurotic ant who rejects the colony's organized structure and chooses to embrace individualism. This leads him to clash with a callous general lusting for power, win the heart of the princess, and lead a journey to find an insect paradise which may or may not exist. The computer animation, visual effects, and wildly imaginative world of ants is something to truly marvel at, and you couldn't ask for a better cast of vocal talents. The script is much too edgy and complex for young children, but overall it's quite an impressive showing. ***
