    This really does exist...

    I found this on Amazon Prime Video while searching for terrible under an hour "movies" to watch. At the time, I've seen a least several Sparkplug and Video Brinquedo RIP offs combined. But this thing here sets the bar INCREDIBLY low with 3D animation. The animation is horrendous, the characters are boring and ugly, the backgrounds are ugly and lazy, this "movie" is straight up garbage. I don't think a single person on the planet can confuse this for A Bug's Life or Antz.

    CHILDHOOD CORE MEMORY

    Oh my goodness. I didnt even realize that this movie was from my childhood. I loved it as a kid and now looking back at it, I cant see how i liked it im not going to lie. It looks like trash but then again, wasnt everything back then? Anyway, I loved the whole thing and watched it every day sooo as my younger self talking.. 10/10. But now.. probably a 2/10, such a ripoff lol and the graphics, dont even get me started. If your just skimming throught this and wondering if its you should buy it. DONT. Its not worth your time, really. I am going to watching it for the giggles but yeah! Thanks for reading!

    Great Movie

    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!

    I loved this and still do

    As a child with Autism this movie dragged me in, its simple and has a nostalgic feel to watching it. It reminds me of the times when I was innocent and didn't know the world suck balls. I still have the movie and disk somewhere. When I have children they get to watch the great movies I watched as a kid. Not whatever Disney pumping out of the "we ran out of ideas" machine.

    Just pants

    Our five year olds said this was boring within 5 minutes and the ants walked silly, enough said.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      With a running time of 25 minutes, this is one of the shortest "mockbuster" films of all time.
    • Goofs
      In the 2006 re-release, as the bar with "© Michael Schelp" appears, "© BugBites.com" from the 1998 release can be seen for a few frames.
    • Crazy credits
      As the credits roll, the ants crawl around in different shots.
    • Alternate versions
      In the original 1998 release of the film, before you hear Rose say "Hurry! Hurry!", the words "Bug Bites" appear in green lettering with yellow shadow. Also, as the ants crawl away at the end, "© BugBites.com" appears. When it was re-released in 2006, the "Bug Bites" title was changed to have a green bar with "An Ant's Life" with the "s" backwards (that may have been intentional). When the ants crawl at the end, a green bar covers up the original copyright notice, and on the green bar is "© Michael Schelp". The original can be found on the original UAV VHS and the UK Dream Town DVD release, while the updated version can be found on the DVD with 4 classic cartoons and on the "An Ant's Life: Bug Bites" episode of the "Worst Movies Ever", which can be found on YouTube.
