Review of Antz (1998) by Jane L — 02 Apr 2015
ANTZ doesn't hold up at all. Maybe at the time this movie was original and well-animated, but now this film's narrative has been done better in countless other children's movies, and the animation is dark and ugly.
The only positive comment I have for this movie is the voice acting, which is very good for the most part (Christopher Walken and Sylvester Stallone aside). To those of you who say that the animation was once good and that it should be a free pass, you're wrong.
TOY STORY for example (which came out three years before this film) had way better animation that still looks great today. I wouldn't even recommend this film to little kids because there's swearing, sex jokes and murder.
ANTZ is not fun (it's actually quite an unpleasant experience), visually interesting or original. It was made in the nineties and should stay there.
