The Ant Bully
Directed by John A. Davis
Fed up with being targeted by the neighborhood bully, 10-year-old Lucas Nickle vents his frustrations on the anthill in his front yard ... until the insects shrink him to the size of a bug with a magic elixir. Convicted of "crimes against the colony," Lucas can only regain his freedom by living with the ants and learning their ways. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie idea: modern reboot of The Ant Bully. It's called The Ant Simp and it's about an Ant that simps for an A-girl on Onlyfants.
neutral · AI labelView post →I always fucking forgot The Ant Bully exists I saw that movie and I don't remember anything besides the free version of Bejeweled that existed that was Ant Bully themed

positive · AI labelView post →I've only seen The Ant Bully a number of times growing up, but one of the standout moments of the film, is Stan Beals in the climax being subjected to the most unexpected distraction from the Beetle and the Glowworm and to the Ants' shrinking potion with a Wasp sting resulting in... well, this.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is a deleted scene from The Ant Bully that I've heard some say was a mistake to cut from the film. They said it would’ve made him an even better antagonist and it actually gives context to when we first meet him in the final cut of the movie, and lets us know that he was in fact lying to Lucas.

neutral · AI labelView post →If I knew there was a scene where a character was eaten I would convince everyone to see a different movie (with some unrelated excuse) because I couldn't stand watching it with others (e.g. I did this for The Ant Bully, Flushed Away, and others)

neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, I’m not too against the development of this reboot because the series did get cut short after the production studio, DNA Productions, shuttered its doors as their second and final film “The Ant Bully” bombed so hard that it closed down.
neutral · AI labelView post →(Though DNA Productions shut down shortly after the failure of their second film, the Ant Bully. O Entertainment shut down shortly after the flop that was Planet Sheen.)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ant Bully (2006, Rewatch) It sure is the movie that murdered Jimmy Neutron in cold blood and with frog vore To think if this actually performed well we probably would have gotten a season 4 of jimmy

neutral · AI labelView post →It was a really good movie to me. The mix of real world acting and CGI were phenomenal for the time period and the fact the at The Ant Bully is rated higher than this will forever leave me fuming
positive · AI labelView post →The Ant Bully was a severely flawed, unfinished game. Shockingly, I don't recommend it. And I hear the movie was terrible as well. You're forced to 100% the game to roll credits, therefore beating it. This is a scene from the very short "True Ending" which qualifies as horror.

neutral · AI labelView post →Uh, no Glenn. You’re thinking of Antz, Dreamworks made that movie. The Ant Bully was made by DNA Productions. Yes, the same company that made Jimmy Neutron, both the debut movie and the following television series. Unfortunately, Ant Bully was DNA’s final production before they closed down.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hoppers was in fact a movie It was like if The Ant Bully protagonist was Luz Noceda Sadly another Pixar movie not reaching its full potential bc Disney screwed them over U can pinpoint when Disney told them to tone down the environmentalism bc Trump won the election, so the plot became a shitpost
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ant Bully Definitely a weird one to put here. Not really a good movie, but it has its odd charms, like Nicholas Cage teaming up with Aang. It has one of the best Ant-hro designs when comparing to A Bug's Life and Antz, but that's really about it. Also the Wasp design goes so fucking hard
neutral · AI labelView post →Getting to chat with the Aang himself Zach Tyler Eisen on Friday was beyond unreal. I brought my childhood DVD copy of The Ant Bully over and he was amazed! He told me how much he loved recording with the all-star cast of the film, he even told me that he saw Paul Giamatti the other day! #NYCC
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait the GOAT teaser trailer came out. Let's see if no. This movie's just blatantly stole the plotline of The Ant Bully. Though I do like the idea of a FULLY animated basketball themed movie. Yes the two Space Jam's don't count.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Bee Movie and the Ant Bully being for free right now feels a little pointed.
neutral · AI labelView post →THE ANT BULLY is one of those weird early 2000’s, early CG animated movies that fall in this uncanny valley, fever dream like state. It’s also yet another film from that era about bugs for some reason, and has an insane cast. It was fun though, and I’ll watch anything with Bruce Campbell #FilmSky
