My Review:

Miniscule: Valley of the Lost Ants tells of a war between black ants and red ants.  They are at odds with each other, and even more so when a tin of sugar cubes enters the scene.  Added in to the mix is a heroic ladybug whose intention wasn't to get caught in the middle.

Miniscule: Valley of the Lost Ants has only the dialogue of a narrator, Richard Dreyfuss.  His narrations are interesting enough and keep viewers tuned in.  Music and sound effects are used to convey the bugs' thoughts and emotions.  There's a good amount of whistling, clanking, and other non-verbal chatter.  A couple of high whistles here and there unnerved me a little but, other than that, I like how the story was told.  Although there are scenes of ants doing battle with each other, it's not done in bloodthirsty form.  Everyday household objects like crayons and paper clips are used for weaponry.  It's an absorbing movie with charming visuals.
