Amazing, 24 syyskuu 2003

Released right on top of ANTZ, it's a bit of a tossup between the two. Plots are quite different, as is the voice work. Dave Foley is no Woody Allen, but he's darned good as the hero of this epic comedy about saving the ant colony. Amazing CGI, and a nice followup to A TOY STORY with more expressive facial work. Better you should see both flicks, although I lean slightly in favor of ABL over ANTZ if only for the greater level of humor.
