Antz is refreshingly naughty and nice.

Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

Antz is brief enough, clocking in at 83 minutes, but its story is too predictable to make an impact even in such a short space.

...the message of Antz is this: Freedom of choice is important, but one should use their freedom to be decent, responsible, humble, and helpful.

A few chuckles here and there, and a semi-interesting story line, but nothing too outstanding.

Has enough of a story to keep a child engaged and a script clever enough to keep an adult amused.

exciting, often hilarious and frequently wondrous film... Adults who live in fear of seeing non-Disney animated movies would be well-advised to overcome their prejudices.

Star-studded, gloriously animated, beautifully written, this cartoon will appeal just as much, if not more, to adults as to children.

There's plenty of action in this computer-animated comedy, but it's no match for Toy Story in humor and originality.
