The Ant Bully (2006) 8/10

Starring : Zach Tyler Eisen, Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Paul Giamatti, Regina King, Bruce Campbell, Meryl Streep
Director : John A Davis
Running Time : 89 mins

Lucas Nickle (Tyler Eisen) is constantly getting bullied by the other kids in his neighbourhood, so he takes out his frustration on one of the only things smaller than him – and ant colony on his front lawn – but a wizard ant named Zoc (Cage) decides that Lucas needs to be taught and lesson so shrinks him down to the size of an ant and forces him to work in their colony.

This was a great fun filled movie with the usual amount of moral sub story that you’d expect in most modern cartoons. This movie didn’t really benefit from it’s remarkable cast, most of whom were unrecognisable in their roles, but this was still a nice movie which the whole family can enjoy, and Giamatti’s villain was outstanding.
