Manatu o le faatonu: Little memory of biology lessons on ants, their organization, their habitat. Lucas, ant in spite of himself, that’s exactly it but more fun. Obviously, since there, they have the floor and not their language in their pocket! A good animated film relies on the quality of the image, the depth that offers viewers a 3D effect. But, it is also necessary to succeed the bet of the dialogues not to fall into “the cliché” ‘cartoon. Challenge met with a simple, direct writing sprinkled with winks to history, to human nature in general! Humor, sensitivity, action, everything is there!
