An excellent film and a milestone in computer generated animation

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 1998)

I enjoyed this film because of its technical excellence, its simplicity and sound track which made the ant-characters have personalities and behave like humans. This was, of course, the intention, Walt Disney did it decades ago, but using state-of the art computer techniques added a new dimension to the realism. The opening remarks by the central character with Woody Allen's voice were both funny and memorable. Congratulations to the production team and let's have many more like this based on the animal, insect etc. kingdom. It serves not only as entertainment but also conveys a powerful message about ourselves, the humans who have dominance over all other life-forms or do we?
This film was not for the very young but the title and publicity may have been slightly misleading. At the cinema that I attended in Manchester there were many young children, who in some cases may have expected a different type of film. This is not meant to be a criticism but should be considered when marketing the film.
I await the next film with eager anticipation.
