Michael Schelp movies are not all that bad like you think. I will admit the animation quality is not good, but the basic animation has a nostalgic at home feel to it. I love it! And this is the first computer animated movie made that was not from a major company, which at the time, Pixar and Dream Works were the only ones doing computer animated films. An Ant's Life is actually a pretty cute movie to watch. It is amazing what a hand full of people can do with what they have! And his movies are not rip offs as the plot is not similar at all. And this particular film is more mature and realistic than the movies people say it is a rip off of. So over all, it is kind of fun to watch what people can make with what they have. :)

"Bug Bites: An Ant's Life" is a 25-minute animated short film written and directed by Michael Schelp. It is an American English-language production and the title already tells you that this film intended to shamelessly cash in with the success of "A Bug's Life". This would have been fine actually if it still had been an individually creative production, but it is no such thing. The graphic side is abysmal. And it is bad to a level where it leaves a really bad note on all the other aspects too. One example would be when we hear a bug eat a grass leaf I think, but we see that his mouth isn't even close enough for eating. Still we hear him chewing. This is just one example where the animation destroys the story and there are several other moments where it is just not working out. Actually, it is difficult to understand the plot at all because of this major deficit. Schelp has made several other films that are heavily connected to successful animated movies, but this one here has to be one of the worst for sure. Still, there is one aspect that is okay: the voice acting. You cannot blame the cast list for anything that is wrong with this movie. But they cannot save it either because there is so much else wrong here. Stay far far away.

This has got to be one of the worst cartoons of all time. Even though it was produced in the 1990's when independent films produced with computer animation were not between barely and not at all like Pixar and DreamWorks, it still sucks.This whole mess of a CGI cartoon film is so awful that the only age group that could possibly like it would be little children who can't tell a knock-off from a blockbuster hit. The character designs are completely crappy, there seem to be at least only a couple pieces of music (played over and over at parts mind you) and the geckos look more like Kermit the Frog was turned into a lizard.In one scene, the caterpillar eating a leaf is actually the caterpillar moving its mouth while a corner of the leaf is suspended from the ground! The animation is so crappy that it makes a VeggieTales tape seem like Toy Story.I purposely watched it after I saw the DVD at my local library, and knew from looking at the cover that it is a ripoff of A Bug's Life. If you want a movie about bugs, get A Bug's Life or Antz, and not this piece of junk!
