Critics Consensus

Featuring a stellar voice cast, technically dazzling animation, and loads of good humor, Antz should delight both children and adults.

Great effects, but surprisingly violent. Lacks kid appeal.

Kids may be puzzled by rebellious worker ants chanting Marxist slogans, but their parental guides may welcome the relief from the prevailing blandness of family films.

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

“Antz” is a fun movie for adults and for children, but occasionally lacks originality. The animation is definitely fine, but still nothing compared to what Disney can and has done.

[Antz is] a bizarre, tonally dissonant mess of a movie. Apparently we were willing to overlook such issues 22 years ago.

In a world of cookie-cutter movies at least it tries a bunch of weird stuff.

Não é ambicioso e muitas cenas são tediosas, mas o geral é bastante positivo.

It’s a great movie, and teaches a good lesson about war for younger audiences.

It's dark. It has adult jokes. And I like it. This is one of those early computer animated films, so the animation doesn't look very good...but for its time, it did, and some things, like the crowd simulation and the textures hold up. Antz isn't afraid to get dark. You find termite wars, with actual deaths shown by the dozen. You have a soldier ant, Barbatus, still alive and speaking with his head cut off. There is a scene where a wasp is squished by a flyswatter. Some may not like this at all. But this gives the film more of its distinct charm, I think. We have that adult humor (my favorite part is where two bugs find out what they're eating), political allegories, romance, and Allen-esque wit. He nailed it here. Also the other cast members are great, though. All in all, a great film, establishing Dreamworks as the second major animation studio, and better than its competitor A bug's life for sure.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
