What happens

The Ant Bully is a 2006 American animated fantasy comedy film loosely based on the children's book of the same name. Written and directed by John A. Davis, it tells the story of Lucas Nickle, a young boy who, after terrorizing a colony of ants, is shrunken and ordered to work amongst them. It stars the voices of Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Paul Giamatti, Regina King, Bruce Campbell, Lily Tomlin, and Zach Tyler Eisen. The Ant Bully was theatrically released on July 28, 2006, by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States. It received mixed reviews and was a box-office failure, grossing $55 million on a budget of $50 million. As a result of the film's poor performance, DNA Productions underwent several layoffs before it shut down the same year. The Ant Bully marked Ricardo Montalbán's final film role before he died in 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
