Unspectacular, but solidly entertaining animated adventure flick.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 20, 2020

It is hard not to be troubled by a film that seems obsessed with teaching about community and friendship, but ends up preaching more about conformity and self-sacrifice.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

Hollywood animation can be boringly formulaic. And this one is all about some self-righteous moralising.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 18, 2019

Cute animated movie with a message for kids.

It's a fun adventure fantasy, and I was never bored...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 26, 2007

While the animation, particularly in the action set pieces, is indeed well done, it's nothing revolutionary nor imaginative that stands out from the rest in this CG-feature-a-week marketplace.

One of those animated features you can enjoy even without a kid by your side.

The film acknowledges that faith is an important part of our social fabric, and if the film has any moral lessons to pass on, it implicitly roots them in a spiritual foundation.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2006

The new computer-animated movie, "The Ant Bully," knows a few things about bullies, most of which we already know--all of which bear repeating.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 30, 2006

Kiddie-friendly toilet humour, a whiff of suspense and familiar voice actors make it passably entertaining, but there's little warmth or emotional satisfaction to be had from its cynical characters.

| Aug 12, 2006

Enjoyable, brightly animated adventure with strong characters, superb gags and a script that isn't afraid to throw in a spot of political subtext.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 12, 2006

Writer-director John A Davis has one or two nice touches, but the film is disposable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 12, 2006

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 12, 2006
