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.

In all respects an average picture for young kids which, thanks to the “action" scenes and it being relatively short, can be lived through relatively problem free. Only the parts with the wasps are any good. The rest is a harmless or even uninteresting kids’ movie with a very forced lesson at the end. The third * is for the experience I had with the IMAX 3D version which clearly demonstrates what potential the future of movies holds in store. ()
A totally average animated film in all respects, with neither much humour nor an interesting story. Another variation on the "reformed bastard" theme we've seen a thousand times before. But thanks to the running time, it's quite easy to sit through. ()
Excellent animated anthills, grass, water, and various creatures present in a story that is great to watch, especially if you have siblings next to you who are having a royal time. Classic aspects of a family animated film, such as an important grumpy male character (Zoc) or an infectiously optimistic or totally depressed pairing (here, a bee in the first case and a strange snail(?) in the second). A surprisingly enjoyable movie that can lift your mood. ()
A pleasant adventure for the whole family that never disappoints. The animation is nice and there are quite a few funny moments, but I still can't shake the feeling that I've seen all this before... and better. 65% ()
