Synopsis:
From Academy Award nominated filmmaker John A. Davis (Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius) and producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman (The Polar Express), The Ant Bully tells a witty and heartwarming story about a 10-year-old boy who embarks on a remarkable journey. New in town, friendless and tormented by a neighborhood bully, young Lucas Nickle has been taking out his frustration on the innocent ant hill in his yard. But one day the ants retaliate. Using a magic potion, they shrink Lucas down to ant size and sentence him to live like an ant in their colony. In this strange new world Lucas will learn important lessons about friendship, get a whole new perspective on life and ultimately find the courage to stand up for himself.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
The Ant Bully is the latest computer-animated film to take the side of the little guys. It receives so-so reviews, with most critics indicating that kids will be delighted and their parents mildly amused by it. Here, for example, is Eleanor Ringel Gillespie's recommendation for the movie in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: " The small ones at the screening I attended seemed to eat it up. Even, ugh, the bit with the caterpillar poop." A.O. Scott in the New York Times sums it up this way: "In the end ... The Ant Bully is adequate rather than enchanting. Unsure of its ability to charm, it compensates with noise, sentiment and low humor, the usual synthetic stew served to children." The film's most enthusiastic booster is Glenn Whipp, film critic for the Los Angeles Daily News, who writes that it is "the summer's best family movie -- funny, action-packed, sometimes disgusting, sometimes affecting."
