Warner Bros has released the feature poster for their upcoming CG animation The Ant Bully.
(updated below)
Ant Bully Movie Poster
Poor 10-year-old Lucas Nickle (voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen) can't get a break. Recently moved to a new city with his family, he hasn't made a single friend. He gets nothing but grief from his teenage sister Tiffany (voiced by Allison Mack) and not a whole lot of attention lately from his parents (voiced by Cheri Oteri and Larry Miller), who are busy planning their big anniversary weekend trip to Puerto Vallarta. Meanwhile, his loving but kinda kooky grandmother Mommo (voiced by Lily Tomlin) spends all her time trying to protect the family from those outer-space aliens she's been reading about in the grocery store magazines.
To make matters worse, Lucas has become the number one target of local bully Steve (voiced by Myles Jeffrey), who never misses an opportunity to push him around.
In turn, Lucas delights in destroying ant hills in his front yard – venting his frustration on the defenseless mounds of dirt and their tiny inhabitants by kicking them, stomping them and squirting them with the garden hose.
But, unbeknownst to Lucas, there is a whole world alive and busy just under his feet and what he sees as "just a bunch of little ants" are actually members of a complex society, with names and relationships, responsibilities and emotions. They're getting mighty tired of having their homes trampled by Lucas The Destroyer. And they're ready to fight back.
The latest poster for The Ant Bully (above) is a vast improvement over the teaser poster and has enough color to help it stick out in theatres.
UPDATE: Warner Bros has alerted us that the image above is NOT the feature poster for The Ant Bully. What it really is we have no idea. For now, assume that this poster has no meaning; even though we still think it looks cool.
UPDATE 2: I guess the 'poster' isn't even near completion and we were asked to pull the whole thing. Stay tuned for the real thing!
The Ant Bully comes to theatres on August 4, 2006.
