    A daily comment from Midget Emma: The Ant Bully (2006)
    A entertaining kids movie. Much better then i thought it would be. I even laughed a few times. This is one to see with the family or if you want a light movie that can be enjoyed.

    The voice acting was great and the computer animation was good. This has charm and the must for a family looking for a good kids movie.

    This is not a kids movie where you don't have to worry about the content. There was some nudity(kind of). There are some references to genitals and there are some dead ants seen.

    A boy who is being bullied seems to take his rage out on the ants in his front yard. But the ants have made a devise that shrinks people and he gets shrunk. Not a very original story it has been used a few times.

    I recommend it to the kids out there. It is funny and has charm.

    6/10
