Visually striking and dynamically shot, this has strong characters and no shortage of incident.

Reviews for Antz
Top CriticHilarious stuff, superbly achieving that elusive goal of being entertaining kids fare and having a lot to offer the adults.

Top CriticThe artwork is spectacular, vocal performances uniformly capable and the jokes appealing to both adults and children.

Top CriticThere are still moviegoers who dream of seeing Woody Allen in a comedy like his early ones 'when they were funny.' Well, the film is here, but no one expected it would be.

Though the story is standard formula kids' fare, the Allen presence brings an adult swing to it, making it more than passable for both.

HormiguitaZ es un claro ejemplo de lo que va a tener que luchar Disney para mantener su estatus de excelencia

Visually, it's more impressive than Disney's Toy Story. On a script level, it was developed as much with a mature audience in mind as with the usual pre-pubescent crowd.
01/01/00
A Woody Allen movie, with all the adult laughs, esteem issues and other accouterments that come with it, and a great kiddie flick, complete with the requisite warm and fuzzy character-building lessons.
01/01/00
It is truly a film for the entire family and a portend of the road the new Dreamworks studio is creating.
01/01/00
The kids will like it. You'll laugh.
01/01/00
The American myth of individualism as an antidote to conformity comes across loud and clear in Antz. Here freedom is glorified as the central virtue of life
03/02/02
It's a well-written, witty tale, expertly executed!
01/01/00
It's fresh, exhilarating, funny, able to tell an old story in a beguiling new way!
01/01/00
Ultimately, it is difficult to mine warmth from a story about an ant colony; worse, the only real guffaws come from Allen doing Allen.
01/01/00
Truly one of the most extraordinary visual achievements in film history.
01/01/00
A clever, funny, fascinating to watch film that could have been more.
04/09/05
A Engaging and awe-inspiring animation once again elevates Shrek's world to fantastic heights, and the laughs are just as freewheeling as we have come to expect.
10/18/08
A kids' movie that will leave grown-ups quoting the best lines to one another.
01/01/00
Has a smart script that will keep adults equally as entertained, if not more, as the young 'uns.
