I thought that Antz was really good because of the number of good actors, but this rival film from Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar did better business. Basically ants pick food for greedy grasshoppers, and disaster happens when Flik (Dave Foley) is responsible for ruining the offering. The grasshopper leader, Hopper (Kevin Spacey) with his gang give them till the end of summer to try and gather food again. Flik decides to leave the island, with Princess Atta's (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) permission, to find warrior bugs to fight the grasshoppers, and to his disbelief, what he brings back is a bunch of circus clowns. These are Slim (David Hyde Pierce) the stick insect, Heimlich (Joe Ranft) the fat German caterpillar, Francis (Denis Leary) the ladybird, Manny (Jonathan Harris) the magician bug with assistant Gypsy Moth (Madeline Kahn) and Rosie (Bonnie Hunt) the black widow spider.
The movie Antz was pushed more towards an adult crowd, where as this movie really reaches for kids. The Pixar group knows what it is doing, and has been releasing incredible movies since their first Disney combined hit Toy Story.
