"Antz"

I had forgotten how clever and outright funny this early Dreamworks CGI effort is when I ran across it in my collection (an anamorphic wide screen DVD). Woody Allen "stars" as "Z", a worker ant who wants to be an individual rather than a "colony player". The cast is remarkable (I'vepasted the list in below) and it's hard to believe that all the voices were recorded separately and then edited together for various converstions. I looked for mono/dialogue writing credit for Woody as some of the lines are so his that it's hard to believe he didn't at least have a hand there but neither the film's credit scroll not IMDB lists him as anything other than a voice actor. Gene Hackman is particularly well cast but when I think anout it everyone else is , too. A delightful romp and fun for all ages.

Next for me is "A Bug's Life"

  Se above. Just saw ABL last night.
Allen's prologue alone is worth the time. Stallone and Hackman do splendid work, too. nt - tinear 12:31:54 07/20/07 (1)

  Agree. I love it at the end when Stallone gives Z a high five and says, "You da ANT!"
