The Ant Bully

The Ant Bully is a 2006 American computer-animated fantasy comedy film written and directed by John A. Davis and based on the 1999 children's book of the same name by John Nickle. Starring the voices of Zach Tyler Eisen, Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, and Paul Giamatti, it was produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman's Playtone, Davis and Keith Alcorn's DNA Productions and Legendary Pictures, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Just before its release, most of the DNA employees were laid off and the studio was closed (as the result of their second and final film to be made after Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius). It was also the last film role by Ricardo Montalbán, before his death on January 14, 2009. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment, grossing $55.2 million against its $50 million budget.

Featured relative giantess: Tiffany Nickle

In the film, Tiffany Nickle is the older sister of the protagonist, Lucas Nickle, and she despises ants as well. She is shown to be a para-giantess when she interacts with Fugax, one of the ants. In the short “Turn It Down a Notch”, she also interacts with two of the ants.
