The Ant-Bully
Directed by
Little Lucas Nickle has just moved to a new town and feels very lonely. His parents are busy arranging their anniversary party at Puerto Vallarta, his sister Tiffany teases him, his grandmother is setting up a defense system against imminent attack from outer space. Poor Lucas has nothing better to do than torture an ant colony in his backyard. And he also has to defend himself against neighbourhood bully Steve, who has targeted Lucas as his new victim. But things are about to change: the ants have decided to fight back... Lucas will have to live among the ants and learn what it means to work and fight against aggression. With the help of three ants, Hova, Kreela and Fugax, he will find a new world where friendship, compassion, teamwork and mutual trust reign and he will get the chance to show his mettle.
«I think the lesson of the story is how the characters change. I like to see characters change through the course of the film. Here's a kid who is a sympathetic character, he's being bullied but then he becomes a bully himself. He starts terrorizing the ants. And then once he's taken down into the ant colony to see the ramification of his actions, he realizes... I think there's a lot of things you can extrapolate from that, and there's a lot of themes in it that I think adults and children will relate to».
