Maybee hollywood will finally realize that a bunch of big name voices aren't going to get people to go see it. I mean there are actually people who are trained in voice work, why aren't they getting these jobs. I'm not just saying Ant Bully though, pretty much all computer animated movies do this but this movie was one of the worst.

How was it one of the worst? So many people put this movie down, but I have yet to see an actual good reason as to why its bad. Storyline wise, what's wrong with the premise of this CARTOON?
And by cartoon, I emphasize the fact that its a fantasy movie and is in no way to be taken seriously by people (which was obviously made clear by the producers).
So again, what makes this deliberately unrealistic movie so terrible that people are willing to call it one of the worst movies? Was it not entertaining at all?
I'm a little confused. My post and the other post didn't mention how we hate the movie at all, in fact if you read again the other poster said that he/she LOVED Ant Bully. Still I think that hollywood shouldn't keep casting these big hollywood names, pay them *beep* of money and then expect people to flock to go see it because of the voices. Thats why I'm glad its not doing to well not because it was unrealistic.
shareIts rushed. characters pop in and out without much development, the moral of the film is pushed on the viewers in big glowing red letters every second scene of the film meaning the films plot mechanics stick out like painful torns making the viewing difficult.
Not to mention its very difficult to accept that everyone in the film is too stupid to go.
THE DEATHCLOUD IS COMING HOW WILL WE STOP IT?
I KNOW WE WILL SHRINK HIM LIKE YOU DID WITH ME SACRIFICING THOUSANDS OF LIVES WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A POTION TO MAKE ME BIG SO I CAN TELL HIM TO GO AWAY!!!!
MY GOD YOUR RIGHT LETS SHRINK HIM!
*thousands of ants die*
Lets also not forget the wonderful wit and character interaction.
I like you
i dont like you

...ok i like you.
Also its technically flawed...objects literally change sizes during the film, they shrink (firecracker, grandmothers teeth) to fit plotpoints. The film is horrible rushed in everyway, the ending was patheticaly forced with the bully.
I thought the movie was pretty good!
shareLet's get one thing striaght. It doesn't matter what Hollywood does, it's the viewers that determine the course of action. If Hollywood produced low-grade fecal matter, and we eat it and want more, well, they will make more.
That being said, Hollywood knows if they turn out any CGI movie, advertise it to death on Nikelodian, and a few network prime time spots to give the parents reference, we will drag the entire family out to see it. As will essentially anyone with kids between the ages of 4 and 9. AND once we go see it, our kids will ask, in the parking lot, "when can we BUY it on DVD"? Kids aren't discriminating movie goers, as going to the movies is a special treat, and they don't place value in the equation.
So, pop out any blase flick, get the kids there, sell the DVD 4 weeks after, and run away with the money! And WE continue to promote this as we have a hard time telling little Johhny and his puppy dog eyes "No, we're not going to that movie as it is getting horrible reviews and I don't want to lay down $70 to take us all to see junk". Me included, so we're stuck when it comes to "kids movies" which is what CGI has been typecast.
So, either accept the fact kids movies will continue to have more than thier share of flops we pay dearly to see, or stop taking the family to see them. Pixar manages to turn out a good product, and I really enjoyed Cars. So we either have to raga against the machine, or suck it up and continue draggin the kids to see movies where we'd rather be drinking battery acid than watch.
BTW: I didn't think Ant Bully was too bad, but agree... who cares on the voice? I too didn't know that was Mr. Cage... and still don't care.
