Trivia:
The eerie insect noise heard when Zoc and the other ants first enter Lucas' house (to shrink and kidnap him) is the same eerie insect noise heard in "Them!" (1954), when the giant ants are shown on screen. moreQuotes:
Zoc: [after Lucas tells Zoc a plan to save the colony] I think I know why his name is 'Peanut',[raises his arms up]
Zoc: Because his brain is the size of a peanut!

Wildly entertaining for kids and bits of off the wall humor for adults make The Ant Bully my top choice for cartoons and animated films this year! Tom Hanks' production group assembled a fantastic line up of voice actors for this movie. My favorite all-star was Julia Roberts, who I believe is best playing in fun roles for children as she did in Hook as Tinkerbell.
Nicolas Cage added a hint of familiarity and also added to the entertainment level for adults (i.e. imagining the "Lord of War" as a tiny ant!) Above that, my favorite part about the Ant Bully were the vivid scenes and camera angles between the world of the human and the world of the ant. The animators had brilliant use of switching the perspective at different times for example - *mini-spoiler* a fire cracker goes off and makes a gigantic BOOM in the underground for the ants, but the camera zooms out and it is a tiny pop for the world of humans.
The variety of entertainment and different levels of humor make The Ant Bully this Summer's top choice for family fun!
