This story of an oppressed
ant colony is portrayed by breathtaking computer animation. The same people who
brought us Toy Story, Pixar Studios via Disney are responsible for this insect
epic.There's no doubting the visual delight of this good verses evil tale. It is the stunning effects that keep your eyes glued to the screen. The hero of the story, Flik, is an unusual little ant who wants to make a difference. His inventions however cause more harm than good.
The villains are the grasshoppers who through the intimidatory tactics of Hopper, their leader, demand an offering of food every year.
Flik of course is responsible for all the food falling
into the stream, something which makes the grasshoppers mad. The ants now have to
replace the offering by the time the last leaf falls.
Flik goes on a mission to find some mean bugs in the big city. These, he hopes, will fight off the grasshoppers. What he comes back with is some washed out circus bugs.
They hatch a grand plan to scare off the grasshoppers. This plan seems to be working but unfortunately it goes horribly wrong. It all works out in the end however.
This movie certainly has its funny moments and I enjoyed it a lot more than Toy Story. It is a movie that the whole family can enjoy together. As a family movie I would recommend it highly.
