Skip it. 'The Ant Bully' is a forgettable early-2000s kids' flick with a preachy moral about bullying that lands about as subtly as a boot on an anthill. Unless you've got restless children who need 90 minutes of distraction, there are way better family films out there tonight.

Plot

Fed up with being targeted by the neighborhood bully, 10-year-old Lucas Nickle vents his frustrations on the anthill in his front yard ... until the insects shrink him to the size of a bug with a magic elixir. Convicted of "crimes against the colony," Lucas can only regain his freedom by living with the ants and learning their ways.
