Plot Summary:
|
Lucas Nickle's the new kid in town and the local bully, Steve, makes certain he knows it. Lucas gets so fed up with being bullied, he takes out his frustration on ants in his backyard in hilarious ways, like squirting them with his garden hose or stamping on the ant hill. The ants are understandably fed up with this and Zoc the ant wizard uses a cup to shrink him down to ant size! Lucas is sentenced to arduous labor in the ruins and learns to be more compassionate to ants. He becomes an ant friend, then must become an ant hero when Stan Beals, the local nag control guy, who's an just bigger b... rowbeat, comes to wipe out the total colony. An "ants vs heckler control" battle ensues and Zoc reluctantly accepts that Lucas may be the ants' only chance of survival.

BRILLIANT
One for the kids, you can't go wrong here, my children loved every minute.
Ant Bully, The
Claudia PuigWho among us hasn't stared at ants marching with such seeming determination and pondered about their lives? The Ant Bully offers a window into their world. But so did Antz and A Bug's Life.
Ant Bully, while not wildly fresh or inventive, is entertaining and energetic. It is also best viewed on 3-D IMAX (showing in about 50 cities in the USA and Canada), where the bugs seem to be plopping themselves on the head of the guy sitting in front of you.
Tom Hanks produced the movie and secured an illustrious voice cast, including Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin.
The story centers on Lucas, a lonely 10-year-old (Zach Taylor Eisen) who, bored and lonely, enjoys demolishing ant hills. He is also the victim of a neighborho...
ONE OF THE BEST!
I saw this at the cinema the other day with my four year old son. There is action, laughter and a pretty good lesson to learn for anyone at the mercy of bullies. The story line is so imaginative and brings the world of the garden and insects into our world giving a greater perspective of these characters but that it doesn't matter how small you are - together we are all big.
Fantastic. I shall be buying this when it is released on DVD and I suggest you do too. Even if you don't have any children!
Ant Bully, The
Adapted from John Nickle's children's paperback of the after all is said name, The Ant Bully was brought to director John A. Davis' attention alongside Tom Hanks, who he worked with on The Hibernal Betoken in 2004. On the surface The Ant Worthy is pretty much like any other gargantuan-budget Hollywood animation with its extraordinary-tech animation luxuriousness and multiple organ-overs provided by Tinsel Town personalities. But as director Davis argues, he didn't want the film to be just about "airy-fairy" exhibition. The Ant Bully does indeed provide a storyline that works on several levels. Unfledged in the practically, 10-year-loved Lucas Nickle (Tyler) falls scapegoat to the county hector, and vents his frustration on the innocent bugs in the front garde...
