The Ant Bully

The Ant Bully is a 2006 American animated fantasy comedy film loosely based on the children's book of the same name. Written and directed by John A. Davis, it tells the story of Lucas Nickle, a young boy who, after terrorizing a colony of ants, is shrunken and ordered to work amongst them. It stars the voices of Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Paul Giamatti, Regina King, Bruce Campbell, Lily Tomlin, and Zach Tyler Eisen. The Ant Bully was theatrically released on July 28, 2006 by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States, and received mixed to favorable reviews, but was a box-office bomb, grossing $55.2 million on a budget of $45‒50 million. As a result of its poor performance, DNA Productions underwent several layoffs before it shut down the same year.
