I USED TO LOVE WATCHING THE ANTBOY MOVIES!!! I have so many memories of these movies! The gym wrestling scene, the baby scene, the peeing scene, the breaking in to the house scene, the ice skating scene from the third movie!
Ive never watched the antboy movies but I remember loving the books! They're well written and very funny. Pelle in the books gets bullied because he's fat and one day he accidentally microwaves an ant while making a snack for himself, which bites him and gives him superpowers. He decides to become a hero but after a mom reacts badly to him saving her baby he decides to become a villain instead. If you like the movie you should definitely read the books!!!
My mom read the books to me as bedtime stories and I was endlessly excided when the movie came out and then it turned out to be a completely different story
OMG. I watched all 3 of these movies when I was younger and I love them. Yes, these aren't very "good" in the technical sense, like the plots are cliche and the effects are low budge, but I always found these movies very charming and fun. I would love if you review the other 2 movies. You can tell that whoever made these movies is a big fan of superhero comics
Dane here The movies are actually based off a quite popular series of children's books, which are actually quite well written and clever for children's books. The movie seems to have changed a lot of things from the books. Pelle originally gets bullied for being overweight, the way that he gets his powers is slightly different and the flea isn't introduced until the third book. Just to name a few differences. It's quite interesting to see the differences in the movie as well as the series getting attention overseas.
I was fresh off the boat in Copenhagen from Seattle, and I regularly watched this with my 4 year old son in the original Danish. Great way to learn the language. Also, while the budget wasn’t very much, it was supported by some of the more reputable film production companies in Denmark . Small country, small budgets.
I have a theory about the whole “Summer’s Dad” thing. I suspect it may be an error of transliteration. I don’t know much about Danish language and culture but in my language and culture you use your given name until you become a parent, then your name becomes “Father/Mother of [insert child’s name here]” but your name doesn’t officially change (like in terms of your ID and other documentation), it’s just what people who know you (especially family, friends and colleagues) will call you with. Basically, it’s like a stronger version of a nickname and there is a word for it that roughly means “parent of”. So maybe the translator saw that when they were translating the script from Danish to English and just went with the literal translation without realizing how strange it would sound to an English speaking audience. Again, I’m not Danish so I could be completely wrong but given how awkward some of the dialogue in this movie is, this seems kinda plausible. Or they just simply didn’t come up with a name for Summer’s Dad.
I am Danish and have seen the film and read the book. none of the girls are called Summer, one is called Ida and the other is called Amanda. but their surname is Sommersted (Summer-Place) so the father's name is mr. Sommersted
@@plzletmebefrank if you turn the volume all the way up, you can actually hear them trying to pronounce "Sommersted" the father is also referred to in the news in the film as Mr. Sommersted. and none of the girls are named Summer
@Dakota Huffman I'm not the OP, but what OP described is similar to Arab culture. Parents are often called "father/mother of [oldest child's name]". It's called a kunya. For example, if your eldest son was named Ahmed, you'd be called Abu Ahmed (Ahmed's dad) or Umm Ahmed (Ahmed's mom). Your kunya is not your legal name or anything, but it's what your peers call you.
The fact that the nighttime scenes in this movie aren't too dark makes this ten times better than most big-budget Hollywood films made today. I also prefer watching films in their original language, since subtitles are less distracting for me than poor syncing between the audio dub and the original actors. What's worse, the audio quality of dubbed audio tracks also tends to be inferior to the original audio track, since the dub was usually recorded in a studio and not on set. Ambient noises and natural echoes are important to the audio experience of a film, but dubbed audio is usually devoid of such luxuries. Another general problem with audio dubs is the fact that the voice dub actor often has a voice that doesn't match the physical characteristics of the actor. A great example of this is the French limited series "Parallels", which I started watching on Disney+ dubbed in English. Not only did the dub sync poorly with the movement of the actors' lips, but the dubbed voices were too low or too high, too old or too young for the actors on screen. I switched to the original French audio with English subtitles, and I pretty soon forgot that the subtitles were even there. It was a great miniseries, but I never would have known that if I had tried to watch it all the way through with an English dub. This is why I am suspicious of some reviews of non-English content by English-only critics. If they watched a dubbed version, they may have given it an artifically low score because the dub was bad, not the content.
I love that as your voice over says "he orders generic superhero costumes online," the costume on the screen is blatantly Space Ghost 😂 which was a real cartoon before Coast To Coast did its thing too. Very hokey and delightful lmfao
I remember watching this as a kid, i even read the 6 books the three movies were based on. Loved the books because they switched between plane text and comic styled pictures. Great Danish memories 😅
Hi Danish man here. Glad to see you cover the movie. Saw it myself in theaters and thought it was fine. Not great (as established) but it was a big deal in 2013. Also it is not Pele, but PELle Written as Pelle. Our language is difficult. Edit: Sommersted is a legit last name in Denmark. Edit2: The sequel sucks.
Having watched the Antboy Trilogy it is everything that Austin said... and a bit more. It literally has all of the wonderful tropes and team ups that one could ever hope for!
I was surprised at how much this looked like a 'real movie' to be honest. Like, it's well shot and made, and there seems to be a reasonably decent plot structure to it along with proper character arcs and whatnot. I know that sounds like a low bar, but next to some other low budget movies that cash-in on popular trends, it's pretty impressive.
Even when compared to most high budget modern cgi porn marvel/dc movies it's still better and impressive, at least on all levels except for special effects/fight scenes.
@@deathknight1239 Honestly, it looks way better than Quantumania, which feels a lot less like a 'real' movie despite having a massively higher budget.
WHAT??? This is so crazy I’d TOTALLY forgotten about this movie. I watched it so much when I was little but I never really understood what was happening. You just unlocked a lot of forgotten stuff in my brain. The movie is also from my country so it was probably a bigger deal here. I went to go see it in theaters and my mom bought the dvd right after
I did not know there was another person on the planet who had seen these. I have no idea why but I have a lot of random and fond memories of at least the first one from when I was younger. I saw the second one too at some point but remember practically none of it.
When I saw this movie when I was younger I never noticed that audio never matched up and the only memories I had of this movie series is the time they talked about Ant man and a ice rink scene in the sequel
By the by, this movie has two sequels. The second is even edgier, with some mysterious girl with daddy issues and phasing powers. In the third one, sidekick, nerd boy, gets a cool outfit of his own, rides a skateboard, and becomes a vigilante behind ant boys back. Ya’know, when I was in middle school I ate this series up! and to this day, I’m still in love with low budget superhero movies
I remember this! I watched this as a kid in the cinema, the sequel too! Worth mentioning that it is based on a children's book series by a kids author who's very popular in Denmark. I read the books as a kid too. A lot of people wanted to see the movie because of that.
I met and talked to the Director of this movie once. He talked about how he got to make this movie and it’s sequels, and his fascination about people getting powers from getting bid (he also made a movie about a girl who got bid by a rat and turned in a rat girl)
Omg I haven't thought about these movies in years. I accidently found this on Netflix when I was a kid and I searched for "Spider-Man" but this came up instead (and later on when I searched for it again Antman came up too, but little me was like tf is that I wanna watch Ant-boy). It must've been so long ago the third one hadn't even come out yet, I know what I gotta watch this weekend lmao
Now for a budget Superhero movie minor fan it sounds really cool you are doing one can't wait to see it. For more research can I suggest "The Specials" and "All Superheros must die"
Watched this video with my brothers but hopped on here just to say your mustache is gorgeous Austin...oh yeah, and thank you for making quality, wholesome, entertaining, and interesting content. This channel is one of the gold mines of the internet
Have you heard of the movie 'when Santa fell to earth'? It's a movie about how a Santa Claus is hiding from other evil Santa Clauses and is trying to save the spirit of giving.
Hi,I'm really excited to see Atlas The Animated Movie.😁😁 Your channel inspired me to make my own cinematic universe.But instead of making an animation,I played games and connecting every games I played to create a huge cinematic universe. I'm doing it for fun.
Ahahah I love this, these movies are kinda iconic in Denmark only for a very specific age group Side note the pronunciation of Pelle in English is so cute
I remember one time when I had Netflix on my tablet being SO bored + trying to stay awake all night (since I was young) that I binged ALL THREE episodes Ant Boy movies and remember almost NONE of it! XD
I found and watched all three of these by sheer accident like two years ago, and I am so, so glad to finally confirm that I am NOT the sole person in the universe aware of their existence
Fun fact: I play badminton with the author of the Ant-Boy books, Kenneth, and he's really good! Also a super nice guy :) The books at least are quite popular among kids here in Denmark
I watched like a quarter of this 7 years ago and seeing this thumbnail and video brought such a strange feeling of nostalgia for a thing I didn’t even care about in the first place and hadn’t though about for 6 years.
Hey, I actually had an idea for two characters for the BBC: Red Reub: Spirits of ancestors from a castle give him speed and strength 13: Bad events happen to him every 13th of the month. He’s a Hollywood reporter. He goes to a man he believes caused the curse. Man gives him powers. These two could make really good stories and I think there’s plenty of ways to make gritty adaptions.
I don't know if I could sit through the movie but your take[down?] on [of] it is hilarious so I'm subscribing to your channel on the strength of this one piece. Great Work.
I loved watching the trilogy on Vudu. It was a nice watch and gave a different version of the typical superhero story. It’s a mix of Ben 10 and Spider-Man, to the point that in the first episode of Ben 10, he saves a nerd from 2 bullies. Overall though, if young superheroes-in-the-making are your type of thing though, this would be the movie for you.
I went to the same school with the actor who played one of the bully characters in this movie, he was fairly older then me so i didn’t get to talk to him or anything. However i did go as Antboy with a homemade costume for a school costume competition, he happend to be one of the judges. He referred to my costume as “fucking awsome” i sadly didn’t win tho.
I remember going down to my local library and renting these three ant boy movie thinking that this was the best movie ever its good to see that was not just a fever dream😁
As a kid I had no idea that it was dubbed, and thought the audio de-syncing was due to the child actors being so bad that they had to dub themselves over in post.
As someone who watched the first film years ago (I borrowed it from the library and watched it without any prior knowledge of it), I'm excited to see where this goes.
I saw Antboy in my grandma's house once when I was like 9 years old. I didn't even think it was a spider-man rip off and to make things even worse, I didn't recognized that it was a dubbed film from Denmark years later.
This has a LOT of cool notes of Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' and the 'Shazam!' movie. Will def put this on the Lettrbox watchlist! If for some reason the trademark owners of 'Antboy' ever seek to sell the rights, for some godforbid reason, I think he'd work out great on your Discount Superhero roster!
For a second when you mentioned the Superzeros at the end end of the video, I actually wondered if you were looking at adding Antboy to the shared universe!
Omg, I’m from Denmark, and I remember my project when I moved to a new school, was about the antboy book (yes, those exists… for some reason). Anyway, ummmm… Didn’t even know that they dubbed it, that’s kinda neat
Thank you for sheding light on this... experience. I used to love these movies as a kid. I wasn't a very smart kid. Also for anyone who didn't know, there's 3 of these.
Some of the adults are actually fairly well known actors in Denmark. The actor who plays the villain has significant roles in major Danish movies.
I was wondering about that. He had a "famous local actor" vibe to him, if that makes sense?
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth his name is Nicolas Bro he was also in Steven Spielberg's "War Horse"
The only notable actors were Nicolas bro and Sommersteds dad, whose name escapes me at the moment.
@@bammanx The school photographer is played by Jonas Schmidt, who is also somewhat notable.
@@benjaminpedersen9548 you're right. forgot him.
HELP I REMEMBER WATCHING THE ANT BOY MOVIES WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND THINKING THEY WERE THE COOLEST THING IMAGINABLE
As a kid enjoyed all three, even watched the premiere for the 2nd and 3rd one.
Same here. I was like “Wait, someone else has seen this?”
Same! Watched the first 2 but idk if I watched the third one
Yeah I remember watching these weird movies

Lmao what the fuck
See, every good superhero origin needs some radiation
These movies were my guilty pleasure as a kid and I never talked about them to anyone love that these were on Netflix
Same, I loved these movies but I was a little embarrassed for enjoying them.
If you were watching Netflix "as a kid"....You are still a kid!😄

@@RedM4fia same here man
Damn this thread made me feel old
5:56 I love how when Austin says "catching bad guys" the video is of Ant Boy carrying a baby lol

Have you seen babies? Menaces I tell you. Menace!

I love that you just jumped into Antboy 3 cold turkey. lol
How could you not include the "how about antman?" "It's already taken plus you're no man" line from them designing his identity part

Same. This is sooooo weird for me to see hahaha
I'm from Scotland and Ant-Boy was a large part of my childhood lmao
@@samc64 That’s crazy!

Antboy was one of my favourite books as a kid. Still have the author's autograph in my copy
6:39 He actually says "Sommersted" which is the father's last name. Though I can hear why it sounds weird.
Please make more videos about the whole trilogy. I feel like this movie despite goofy is still good enough to grow a little bit more in popularity.
Hi Danish man here.
Glad to see you cover the movie. Saw it myself in theaters and thought it was fine. Not great (as established) but it was a big deal in 2013.
Also it is not Pele, but PELle
Written as Pelle. Our language is difficult.
Edit: Sommersted is a legit last name in Denmark.
Edit2: The sequel sucks.
I'm a year late, but 2 questions:
1) Why was it a big deal in Denmark?
2) Why do you think the sequel sucked?
"The guy from the best episode of Loki." Fixed it for you.

i remember watching this as a kid!
As someone who watched the first film years ago (I borrowed it from the library and watched it without any prior knowledge of it), I'm excited to see where this goes.
Ok this actually looks hilarious and surprisingly well made.
I saw Antboy in my grandma's house once when I was like 9 years old. I didn't even think it was a spider-man rip off and to make things even worse, I didn't recognized that it was a dubbed film from Denmark years later.
This has a LOT of cool notes of Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' and the 'Shazam!' movie. Will def put this on the Lettrbox watchlist! If for some reason the trademark owners of 'Antboy' ever seek to sell the rights, for some godforbid reason, I think he'd work out great on your Discount Superhero roster!
Superacid Powers which would more than likely get worst as he goes through puberty.
Jonathan Majors is a fantastic actor and much more than “that actor from loki”
I actually watched this movie as a kid, and I remember the final battle as really intense, but now that I'm older it's not as awesome as I thought.
"you have 48 hours, Summer's Dad"
Dude these were on Netflix when I was a kid and I loved them.
"Squarespace sponsored this video" best ad transition ever
For a second when you mentioned the Superzeros at the end end of the video, I actually wondered if you were looking at adding Antboy to the shared universe!
Nice review Austin!👍 I checked out your cinematic universe videos, and I love it man.
Omg, I’m from Denmark, and I remember my project when I moved to a new school, was about the antboy book (yes, those exists… for some reason). Anyway, ummmm… Didn’t even know that they dubbed it, that’s kinda neat
Are we NOT going to talk about how the Flea looks like Austin+50 pounds and a some number of years.
Everyone knows the best Danish movie is "Terkel i knibe", I'd suggest to review it. In all seriousness, it's kinda good in breaking some cliches.
Oh boy, he gets to make more on this masterpiece
Im excited for the animated movie you are making!
As a Dane it honestly makes me a tiny bit proud, that Austin knows we exist.
Thank you for sheding light on this... experience. I used to love these movies as a kid. I wasn't a very smart kid. Also for anyone who didn't know, there's 3 of these.
Fun fact in estonia the sacndinavian version was dubd much better do to our people putting budget into the dubing
“KATE FROM LOST” BRO THAT SHOW WAS SOOO GOOD
I'm glad that i wasn't the only one who saw this obscure 2010s movie when i was younger.
Norwegian guy here. Can confirm every kid has watched this movie
You need to hurry up and get the rights to distribute Ant-Boy merch in the US
This movie genuinely gave me nightmares as a kid
