Critics' reviews
  • "Based on John Nickle's children's book, this computer-animated comedy starts slowly but builds into a rousing adventure capped with just the right measure of sweetness."
  • "The movie has a great time playing with ideas of scope and perspective, shifting between microscopic and macroscopic."
  • "An effortlessly clever animated confection."
  • "Why bother with wit, intelligence, and emotion when children will be equally entertained by pretty images, colorful action, and the obligatory poop joke?"
  • "In spite of its predictability, it's a nifty story in the abstract, and Davis certainly makes the most of the opportunity to examine the world from an ant's-eye view."
  • "The movie is an epic adventure with a rigorously moral point of view."
  • "It's a kids' movie for kids, and Davis approaches it as though he and his cast are merely storytellers trying to reach kids rather than show-offs trying to impress their parents."
