Antz

Pros: Good voice cast. Entertaining movie overall.
Cons: Slow in spots. Not that funny.

After Pixar had so much success with Toy Story, they went on to make A Bug's Life. Dreamworks also started working on computer animated movies and released Antz very ...

Pros: Detailed animation, Gene Hackman is always good
Cons: Script and treatment

Antz, originally released in theatres in 1998, provides detailed, sometimes stunning animation. The cast names read like a who’s who, with Woody Allen and Gene Hackman heading up the list. Produced by the upstart Dreamworks studio...

Pros: Wry Woody Allen humour, imaginative animation, powerful anti-statist message.
Cons: Lack of storyline originality

Antz looks like standard animation fare. I didn't expect a great movie, or even a good movie. Boy was I wrong. Antz is to standard animation as 1984 is to political novels. What's more, it out-1984s 1984, and is in the league of, but not as political as, ...

Pros: Woody Allen, Sylvester Stallone and a few, minor other voices do very well here.
Cons: Too many weak voices. Poor plotting. Poor character delvelopment on some characters. Poor bad guy

Shame. As a kid, I used to love this movie. I loved the voices particually, but now some just sound out of place. Stallone and Allen are the two best voices on here (and characters). But Jennifer Lopez and Gene Hackmen as the mean general seem like they ...

Pros: interesting computer animation
Cons: retread of earlier Allen comedies

The DreamWorks animated film Antz goes to great expense to create an otherworldly environment without a compelling storyline to carry it. It has many set pieces meant to inspire astonishment and laughter, but instead you're left stupefied that the...

Pros: Funny, educational, interesting, human parallels
Cons: Woody Allen's voice

I saw this the week after I saw Pleasantville. The same thing happened to me where I saw the preview and knew I had to see it. I mean, when the screen started to move underground and they said something about an underground society, I crossed my...

Pros: Great graphics.
Cons: The graphics are great but not much else.

Anyone else notice that these ants are NAKED?! A minor detail. Parents, watch out! The princess ant has nice legs, and I'm talking about six nice legs.

Well, the graphics in this movie are stunning. When there is a close-up...

Pros: Good Animation and Storyline. Great Characters.
Cons: The language was a little rough for the really young.

I was pleasantly surprised at this movie when my girlfriend brought it back from the video store. It's probably not a movie I would have picked, as my first choice is always action/adventure or comedy.

However, I found ANTZ to be highly...

Pros: Brilliant Orwellian Vision
Cons: Animated film might discourage adults from seeing this smart and witty film

"Antz" is just like George Orwell's Animal Farm, but it is funnier. Sure, Orwell's brilliant satire is humorous, but is nothing like the razor sharp comedy that explodes from "Antz." Instead of building the communist regime from the...

Pros: Great animation, clever satire, and a message that "teaches" without "preaching"
Cons: Woody Allen's voice isn't exactly my favorite thing ;)

"Handling dirt is not my idea of a rewarding career," laments Z, the tiny, unwitting hero of Dreamworks' remarkable animated odyssey, Antz. His frustration is understandable, for he lives in a rigid society that eschews individuality. All ants...

Pros: Biting script; well-cast voice actors.
Cons: The visuals, while largely impressive, aren't always dazzling.

It's still another two months before DreamWorks launches its assault on the current state of feature animation with the much-ballyhooed (and equally as anticipated) The Prince of Egypt, but in the meantime, the crew at SKG has found another way to...

Pros: Funny, Price, Animation, All Star Cast
Cons: Curse Words

But, if you are a horrible parent like me, you go ahead and let your 3 year old watch it because it keeps her entertained! The reason I say its not for children is the language. There are a few curse words in the movie. But if curse words do not...

Pros: Z is a good role model, great graphics, fun
Cons: Violence and adult humor not appropriate for young ones

Yesterday, I watched Antz with my family for the first time. I had my children here (they are both twenty somethings) and two of my grand children, ages 6 and 2.

Sometimes hilarious, often predictable, DreamWorks'animated family entertainment succeeds...

One indicator of popular culture in Antz is the struggle of the...

Pros: Action, adventure, fun, and light hearted.
Cons: Didn't feel story was entirely appropriate for children.

Antz would not have been a choice for a Saturday night movie but my niece was with me and she picked the show. I was pleasantly surprise at how delightful the motion picture was - It was amazing at the skill and craftsmanship that went into such a...
