Fun family film featuring Woody Allen and Sharon Stone.

Rating: 8/10 (9 October 2003)

I thoroughly enjoy this animation/CGI production, although the quality is not up to par with what we have, today. The main characters are well developed and easy to adopt as focal interest points.
The story is quite well-written and delivered, the colors are bright and crisp, and helped to sell the DVD media to the average civilian. Even today, the content is still better than that of, "A Bug's Life," which just basically has a few characters bouncing one-liners off each other. At least this movie has a STORY!
Woody Allen's character is the star...and an Ant. He was classified "worker" as larvae and he's having a few problems with that classification. He feels inadequately judged and pigeon-holed by this assignment, and lets the whole world know it via Allen's nasal whining. There is something better in the world for him, and he is sure he could find and attain it, if only he had the chance. Finally, he realizes that he has to take the chance; opportunity doesn't come on its own to the normal people.
There is a nice sub-plot and a strong main plot; well developed characters and a star-studded cast of voice and likeness donors in this adventurous and entertaining story.
All in all it earns an 8.2/10 from... the Fiend :.
