...well timed, since the Colony's other individualistic ant (voiced by Gene Hackman), has plans to work the colony to death in order to create a master race in its stead. Though the character of Allen, as well as those of the other actors (voiced by Dan Akroyd, Anne Bancroft, Sylvester Stalone and Jennifer Lopez among others), takes some of the edge off the hackneyed plot, Antz fails to fully engage. If computer animation was begging for something with epic, imperialistic proportions, where the miracle of 3-D animation could be unleashed onto big battle and mob scenes...
...from Disney's Florida unit--those people who try to get work done as Walt Disney World tourists gawk at them through the huge windows of the animation pavilion. It doesn't seem to have distracted them a whit, for the team, led by directors Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft and producer Pam Coats, has created the boldest, most persuasive storytelling in a while, in a ravishing pastel palette (from production designer Hans Bacher) that recalls the color experiments of Fantasia as much as the delicacy of Chinese graphic...

Irresistible, that is, when that pressure is applied to the Pentagon by wily Lillian DeHaven, a U.S. Senator whose scheming soul Anne Bancroft inhabits with rip-snorting relish. The brass, of course, expect O'Neil to fail and prove their patronizing assumptions about gals in combat. There even comes a moment when the Senator, faced with base closings in her state, is willing to trade principles for political survival...
DIED. HELENE HANFF, 80, letter-loving U.S. author, whose wry and witty 20-year correspondence with a London bookseller delighted readers on both shores when she turned it into a book, 84, Charing Cross Road; in New York City. It became a play, then a film with Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins...
