      American Ants

      Although it is the world of ants, it is a typical American story. You don’t always have to obey authority, you can make your own decisions; small people can make great careers; love can cross levels; the protagonist will have many shortcomings, such as small selfishness, nagging, arrogance, and so on. It's all American values.

      The villain general is a very mature careerist and politician. A few passionate speeches are very exciting, with strategy, skill and enthusiasm. I...

      Chaos General Comment

      Want to watch "Bugs" failed, so I had to use it as a supplement.

      An antist Z finally found the insect utopia in his mind, even though we thought it was a garbage dump, he became a true hero who saved the ant nest and won the beauties. Heroes have to rely on friends. The self-sacrifice of soldiers is an example. It is undeniable that the team’s strength is huge, as evidenced by the giant push-shan ball and the Tongtian Tower composed of worker ants. The villain, General Wan,...

      A so-called adult cartoon

      Don't get me wrong. The "adult" here does not refer to the abnormal pornographic cartoons of Japan.

      The main market positioning of DreamWorks cartoons is for audiences over 13 years old, which is the biggest difference from Disney cartoons' so-called "good for all ages" marketing strategy. On the one hand, it is the market differentiation strategy that has to be adopted due to the market pressure of the Disney animation hegemon. On the other hand, it also reflects DreamWorks'...

      The smell of stool can be discussed so vividly

      I finished watching "Little Ants Heroes" in the afternoon. To be honest, there is nothing to watch. The ants are not cute, and there is no particularly interesting plot. They are all crimson, ugly and old queens. In fact, the princess Bara who looks very reluctant, the crazy general Man and Z, in short, all are so ugly. In my impression, the ants made into animation should be very cute, besides Adelaide It's kind of cute, because it's Z's most loyal friend. I really lament the great...

      This dubbing lineup is huge; Jazz, New York, the love and death of little worker ants, and the phrase "Back up! Give him some air!", the director seems to be a diehard; "You...you think too much"; psWA sings "Almost Like Being in...

    Background creation

    While the actors are dubbing the characters, the animators led by Roman Hsu are also busy designing the styling of these characters. The producer must first draw countless drafts with a pencil to outline the details of the character's facial expressions. PDI uses the new software they developed to achieve innovative results. In the past, the facial expressions of computer animation characters were made by deformation methods. The...

    Evaluation action

    The protagonist Z of the film has been very successful. With his cold witty and thrilling perspective, he has completed an entertaining children's film, which also allows adults to be integrated into the story.  (Comment by "New York Condor Magazine")
    The film does not have songs and dances like the Disney animation, and there is no catchy melody. However, the seemingly plain soundtrack in the film is matched with the plot, which...

    Movie quotes

    • Colonel Cutter: She's about yay tall, fairly easy

      [pause]

      Colonel Cutter: on the eyes.

    • Weaver: Do you have any idea how much trouble you can get in for talking about for even talkin' about impersonation' a soldier? You can get in trouble just for listening to someone talkin' about impersonatin' a soldier.

      [Everyone who was listening in pretends to fall back asleep]

    • General Mandible: [dismissing himself and Z] I think it's time to debrief the soldier.

      Z: Please, General! Not on a first date!
