If you're looking for a feel-good, family flick give the Ant Bully a try. Lacking the budget and hype of the current cinema fodder, the Ant Bully was quietly received by the masses. (No doubt because we are all still reeling from the mediocrity of Bugs' Life, Antz and Bee Movie.)
The Ant Bully tells the story of Lucas, an under-sized kid with over-sized problems. Dealing with a bully of his own, Lucas takes his aggression out on the ants in his yard. Little does he know, his antics have wreaked havoc in the insect world earning him the title of the Destroyer. Terrified at the prospect of the next disaster, the ants take matters into their own hands...
Zach Tyler Eisen (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Backyardigans) does an excellent job as the voice of Lucas Nickle standing up against Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Paul Giamatti, Regina King, Bruce Campbell, and Lily Tomlin. The animation is fluid and interesting, though the score is uninspiring.
I rate it a Popcorn Combo!
