The Ant Bully

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I saw the movie and for the most part, really enjoyed it. Sometimes I'm cautious these days about seeing kids movies because there's always the fear that I will end up seeing something really, really, REALLY kiddie sappy and oh so crappy.

A good kids flick is one parents and even us teens (me being 22 not really a teen, but not really much of an adult either) can enjoy. Ant Bully gets really good after Lucas is shrunk and to be honest, i wasn't TRYING to look for his weiner when he got shrunk.

In any case, I really liked how Hova actually liked Lucas and that Zok was an ant wizard, I mean how the hell often do you hear the words ant and wizard together? In any case. I think the animation was pretty good and they did some impressive scenes with the frog, and the hornets and such.

Bruce Campbell surprisingly excels in his role here and I really enjoyed him. My only REAL beefs were the annoyingly pathetic writing in terms of Lucas's problematic cliche's:

1. The Bully - this guy was terribly written and too overdone, a monkey could write better lines for this guy.

2. The Exterminator - His little teasings to get Lucas to sign it were really pointless, and how they beat him in the end was too kiddie-comical to swallow. I also don't know how you can call him a villain considering he was in the movie for like what 15-20 mins max?

Overall, this was pretty good, there was some really sucky too kiddie feeling moments in the beginning but it really picks up once Lucas is shrunk. But I personally will take the oh so sweet "Over the hedge" instead.
