	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"'Antz' works best just showing off its prodigious voice talent (...) and playing lightheartedly with the curious possibilities of a buggy world"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It's sharp and funny--not a children's movie, but one of those hybrids that works on different levels for different ages (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"When you start with a good, solid narrative, coupled with the nuanced vocal interpretations of a well-chosen cast, it matters little whether your protagonists are pixels, pen and ink, or real people."	POS
United Kingdom	Colin Kennedy Empire	"It may lack the novelty and broad humour of 'Toy Story', but 'Antz' still gives its rival a tough act to follow (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Walter Addiego SFGATE	"The animation and design, by Pacific Data Images, is striking (...) Clever use of the ants' perspective is made throughout"	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"The story is well-told, but so familiar that it renders the surrounding film a bright, shiny, dispensible bauble, an amusing diversion but not much more."	NEU
United Kingdom	Joanna Berry Radio Times	"This charming and witty animated adventure is perhaps even more appealing to adults than it is to children (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Danny Graydon BBC	"There are some superb set-pieces (...) [The] journey to the fabled Insectopia is utterly thrilling and easily matches 'Toy Story's inspirational wit (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
