Invoking storytelling and cinematic traditions that are more than a century old, yet deploying the most sophisticated technology to create its hyper-realist textures, this wonderful French cartoon is entirely dialogue free.

Rated: 4/5

If Ant-Man's ever looking to recruit, there are plenty of heroic critters in this charming French live-action/CGI-animation hybrid.

Rated: 4/5

If my attention wandered at times, I approved of the film's comic style: the best scenes are reminiscent of the Road Runner cartoons.

Rated: 3/5

A wounded male ladybug befriends an ant colony. Hidden Gem! One of the best animated films of the 21st century! I was pleasantly surprised as I thought it might be a bland children's tale. Instead, it's a humorous, touching, and visually stimulating film. It's a charming diversion from the ills of the world. Highly recommended There is a mid-credits scene

This is a super cute animated movie I like the seams of found family and standing up to bullies and I like the fact that they don't talk in this they just make the noises to communicate it's definitely a film that I think a lot of people can actually enjoy not just kick children or foreign film fans.

Between 2.5 and 3 stars. Image is hypnotic, story is not so attractive.
