I liked it. Not as good as Pixar’s a Bugs Life but still a great start to Dreamworks studio!

In this more inappropriate version of a bugs life, Z tries to win the princess. It's basic. I don't like this film because it is just to dull and the animation is horrible for today's standards. This is a garbage film. Don't watch.

Para mi es una gran pelicula, sinceramente me gusto más que "A bug's life", ya que tiene más madurez y profundidad en la historia, un protagonista y villano excelentes, y si bien una animación e historia no tan bien construidas, si que son entretenidas y buenas, me encantó, le doy un 9.4/10

Divertido, engraçado, e com uma ótima dosagem de humor, Formiguinhaz é uma história para toda a família, que mostra a chegada da incrível empresa DreamWorks SKG, com um simples e divertido filme.

Great effects, but surprisingly violent. Lacks kid appeal.

TIME Magazine

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.

Time Out

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

Cinema Sight

“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.

Rated: 3/4

Box Office Prophets

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

Rated: 4/10

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