Ants X Bugs

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 1998)

Antz was nothing more and nothing less than I expected. A very well done, virtually and incredibly made film.
The history is very imaginative: An ant, named Z, who is tired of being just another ant in the oppressive colony, where no individuality is allowed. He dreams about reaching a legendary place name "Insectopia", and his dreams end up to cause an involuntary revolution. There are many other interesting characters too, all performed by an all star cast, and I say performed because they were so fantasticaly developed. Gifted not only with the stars' voices, but also with their facial expressions, personality and everything else that can make us recognize the person behind the bug.
Everything in this movie seems to be carefully made, everything in the right place, everything with so much quality. But that nameless and unknown thing that makes the movies magic is missing. I don't know why, but, despite all its qualities, this is, somehow, a forgettable film.
Disney has been threatened by a Russian princess named Anastasia and retaliated with Mulan. Now, these little ants are ready and willing to eradicate some bug's lives. But, by what I saw in the trailers, who will win in the end is a God's buddy, the holly prophet Moses.
