HINDI dapat palampasin ng mga kids ang MINUSCULE: Valley of the Lost Ants, isang pambatang pelikula.
The story begins with a normal setting out in the countryside. This is not CGI but real film. However, throughout the film the two are fantastically fused together. What you see from a human point of view uses standard film but watch when it goes to the micro world of insects, the CGI opens a totally new vista which works very, very well for the movie.
In that peaceful little clearing, the remains of a picnic hastily abandoned spark warfare between two tribes of ants. A bold young ladybug finds himself caught in the middle of the battle. He befriends one of the black ants, Mandible, and helps him save the anthill from the assault of the terrible red ant warriors, led by the fearful Butor.
The film already which is distributed by Solar Pictures Inc., won the 2014 Mill Valley Film Festival Audience Award for Best Children’s Feature Film for Directors Thomas Szabo andHélène Giraud and was nominated in three other film festival events. It was nominated for Cristal Best Feature Award at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival 2014, the 2014 European Film Award for Best Animated Feature Film, and the 2013 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival Award for Best Children’s Film. Now it is vying for the Best Animated Film for the 87th Oscar Awards.
