Beats A Bug’s Life By: TOM MEEK7/26/2006 10:20:49 AM 
John A. Davis, who made Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, puts an amiable animated spin on John Nickle’s children’s tale, and the moral of teamwork versus individual interest buzzes throughout. It’s a good lesson for Lucas (Zach Tyler), an introverted 10-year-old with few friends and a lording sister (Allison Mack). After he petulantly pees into an ant nest (the “dreaded yellow rain”), an ant wizard (Nicolas Cage) shrinks him down to size and takes him prisoner. His sentence — handed down by Meryl Streep as the wise queen — is to learn the ways of the ant and find his role in the colony. Frogs, wasps, and honeydew poo ensue. A lot more fun than it should have been, The Ant Bully offers more character and appeal than its predated cousins, Antz and A Bug’s Life. Even Julia Robert is endearing as Hova, Lucas’s appointed ant mentor.
