Yeah, the bully sucked. I dun really like the way he was animated either. His movements were kinda...I dunno...Bleh. Maybe it just looked bad because I was used to the cool bug stuff. =P

I agree. They could've done better with the Exterminator. Though I did think the company name was clever...^^

The funny thing was, Paul Giamatti voiced the Exterminator here and strangely enough, his "Sideways" co star Thomas Hden Church voiced over for an exterminator in another CGI kiddie film, "Over the Hedge".

The only difference was that while not the most original and brilliantly crafted villain, Haden's exterminator has a REAL personality and is no where near as stupid or cliche as Giamatti's exterminator. Church did loads better.

I really wish they hadn't made CGI animation so mainstream because once anything gets big, the good stuff only lasts for the first few films. Once you drag it out it becomes more common, and more crap films get churned out.

"Ant Bully" was a decent movie, I'm not doubting that, I'm just saying in comparsion to it's earlier CGI ancestor films, they make this movie look like a joke.
