jdsanders-21163 Michael Schelp movies are not all that bad like you think. I will admit the animation quality is not good, but the basic animation has a nostalgic at home feel to it. I love it! And this is the first computer animated movie made that was not from a major company, which at the time, Pixar and Dream Works were the only ones doing computer animated films. An Ant's Life is actually a pretty cute movie to watch. It is amazing what a hand full of people can do with what they have! And his movies are not rip offs as the plot is not similar at all. And this particular film is more mature and realistic than the movies people say it is a rip off of. So over all, it is kind of fun to watch what people can make with what they have. :)
callumgra This rips off the cover of ant bully ANTZ and a bugs life 3 movies in this beats all video brinquedo and other ripoff productions this takes the movie of cancer
frankykog Just a great movie. Had some strange and disturbing parts, but was just an entertaining movie to watch! It had great animation, good characters, and a fantastic plot! Let's hope that more movies like this come out!
TheLittleSongbird That it is a blatant rip-off of A Bug's Life, but with none of its great entertainment and charm, is the least of Bug Bites: An Ant's Life's problems. Of all the animated mock busters, this has to be one of the worst of those not with Video Brinquedo or Spark Plug Entertainment's names on them, it is atrociously bad and has no redeeming features whatsoever.What was especially bad here was the animation. Quite frankly it is some of the worst computer animation I've ever seen, on par with the worst of Video Brinquedo and Spark Plug Entertainment. The character designs are creepy-looking, with the worst case being the geckos(designed in a way that doesn't ever blend within the colours and the background), there is absolutely no detail, smoothness or depth in the backgrounds, instead everything looks blocky and sparse, and the colours have no vibrancy and look incredibly flatly textured instead. The music is intrusive and has no sense of pace to it, not really gelling with the rest.In Bug Bites: An Ant's Life, the script-writing is incredibly lazy and doesn't even try to make sense. While the target audience situation is nowhere near as bad as it in in A Car's Life and most of the Video Brinquedo output, Bug Bites: An Ant's Life has very little appeal for children(except for maybe the very little) or adults, adults especially will find it insultingly juvenile and children may find themselves squirming in their seats from how much boredom the story has. The story in Bug Bites: An Ant's Life is so bland and tissue-thin that it doesn't feel like there is one, a lot of scenes needlessly stretched with dialogue that has no relevance and only there to pad the running time. Apparently, this is the shortest animated mock buster, being twenty five minutes, but you wouldn't think so because it really does not feel that short(feeling over twice as long).The characters are insufferably annoying, with the ants adding very little charm or personality and the geckos aren't sinister whatsoever, the chemistry between them aimless. The voice acting is even worse. All the ants sounded disengaged and like they didn't care about the situation they were in and did the geckos really need to speak in that grating monotone and croaky tone all the time? In conclusion, atrociously and irredeemably bad. 0/10 Bethany Cox
