This rips off the cover of ant bully ANTZ and a bugs life 3 movies in this beats all video brinquedo and other ripoff productions this takes the movie of cancer
Oh my goodness. I didnt even realize that this movie was from my childhood. I loved it as a kid and now looking back at it, I cant see how i liked it im not going to lie. It looks like trash but then again, wasnt everything back then? Anyway, I loved the whole thing and watched it every day sooo as my younger self talking.. 10/10. But now.. probably a 2/10, such a ripoff lol and the graphics, dont even get me started. If your just skimming throught this and wondering if its you should buy it. DONT. Its not worth your time, really. I am going to watching it for the giggles but yeah! Thanks for reading!
There are several companies out there that make so-called 'mockbuster' films. These pictures are intended to capitalize on a good film by making unsuspecting folks think they are one and the same....and the titles are nearly the same or, in some cases, the same title. In just about every case, these mockbusters are not just inferior to the big-name Hollywood picture they are imitating, but they are downright awful and with few, if any, redeeming values. "Bug Bites: An Ant's Life" is such a film, intening to capitalize on the success of "Antz" and "A Bug's Life"--both of which also came out in 1998.
If you watch any of this movie, you'll quickly see that it can in no way actually be confused for "Antz" or "A Bug's Life". The quality of the CGI appears to be at least a decade or two older and is frankly very ugly. During much of the film, the characters really don't do much of anything (you see and hear them walking for what seems like 2/3 of the film!) and the quality is terrible. It's so bad, I wouldn't show it to any child except, perhaps, I was using it to punish some unruly brat. I could see it now...."Junior...if you don't stop backtalking me, I'm going to make you watch "Bug Bites" AGAIN!". I could also see the value in using it to soften up prisoners before interrogations...though I am pretty sure Amnesty International would consider it cruel and unusual punishment.

I found this on Amazon Prime Video while searching for terrible under an hour "movies" to watch. At the time, I've seen a least several Sparkplug and Video Brinquedo RIP offs combined. But this thing here sets the bar INCREDIBLY low with 3D animation. The animation is horrendous, the characters are boring and ugly, the backgrounds are ugly and lazy, this "movie" is straight up garbage. I don't think a single person on the planet can confuse this for A Bug's Life or Antz.

- TriviaWith a running time of 25 minutes, this is one of the shortest "mockbuster" films of all time.
- GoofsIn the 2006 re-release, as the bar with "© Michael Schelp" appears, "© BugBites.com" from the 1998 release can be seen for a few frames.
- Crazy creditsAs the credits roll, the ants crawl around in different shots.
- Alternate versionsIn the original 1998 release of the film, before you hear Rose say "Hurry! Hurry!", the words "Bug Bites" appear in green lettering with yellow shadow. Also, as the ants crawl away at the end, "© BugBites.com" appears. When it was re-released in 2006, the "Bug Bites" title was changed to have a green bar with "An Ant's Life" with the "s" backwards (that may have been intentional). When the ants crawl at the end, a green bar covers up the original copyright notice, and on the green bar is "© Michael Schelp". The original can be found on the original UAV VHS and the UK Dream Town DVD release, while the updated version can be found on the DVD with 4 classic cartoons and on the "An Ant's Life: Bug Bites" episode of the "Worst Movies Ever", which can be found on YouTube.
