Critics Consensus

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

Common Sense Media

Great effects, but surprisingly violent. Lacks kid appeal.

Rated: 3/5

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

[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.

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

The voice cast was wonderful and star studded, the animation nice-looking, and message worth hearing, but it commits a cardinal sin- trying to be funny and failing.

Antz is brilliant. Don't let anybody tell you differently. We've got stunning visuals, great jokes, some brilliant scenes and some very likeable characters.
