whoops. I watched Ant-Boy instead. 

HELP I REMEMBER WATCHING THE ANT BOY MOVIES WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND THINKING THEY WERE THE COOLEST THING IMAGINABLE

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.

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!!!

5:56 I love how when Austin says "catching bad guys" the video is of Ant Boy carrying a baby lol

These movies were my guilty pleasure as a kid and I never talked about them to anyone love that these were on Netflix

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 just watched AntBoy 3 with some friends a few months back after finding it at a dollar store. Glad to discover the characters origins

hahaha! im danish and grew up with the AntBoy trilogy, a danish masterpiece... make a video about the other two

I didn't think anyone not from Denmark would know about the ant boy movies

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

As a Dane I gotta say this was weird and unexpected in a wonderful way 😅👍

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.

Wow, I actually remember finding Ant Boy and Ant Boy 2 on Netflix a while back. I’m glad to see that other people are aware it exists.

The Ant Boy stood up against the Ant Bullys and became the Ant Man🥲

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 😅

Your videos are so interesting and unique I wish your channel would grow more

Love this series, so glad to see someone talk about it

Antboy was one of my favourite books as a kid. Still have the author's autograph in my copy

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.

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.

"The guy from the best episode of Loki." Fixed it for you.

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.

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 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.

How did we all forget about this movie until this video popped up is something no one can explain.

Trademark willing, Austin you should totally include Antboy in your Cinematic Universe 😂 Especially after that Steve Burns reaction! 9:29

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!

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 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

laughed out loud at your genuine reaction to finding out it's a trilogy

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 love how this film had some love put into it. Gives it a low-budge home movie feel

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

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)

My friend and I found the first Antboy a couple years ago and can't get over the Flea whispering "Antboyyy"

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.

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 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.

I love when a movie i watched as a kid gets randomly reviewed by a youtuber I watch. (It also feels really weird hearing the dubbed version lol)

Oh man, I remember watching this at school. Felt like a fever dream

"you have 48 hours, Summer's Dad"

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

his face at finding out there is a trilogy, priceless 😂

i loved these movies as a kid. all 3 were on netflix in my area and i would watch them nonstop. finally someone talks about these movies!!

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.

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

I love Antboy! I found the first and third movies on DVD at Dollar Tree. Still looking for the second one.

It's always funny watching that first chunk of a movie before you realize it's a dub and trying to figure out why something feels off.

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 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.

You absolutely have to review the sequels as well, I can't wait!

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

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.

Oh boy, he gets to make more on this masterpiece

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 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😁

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!

it's like if spider-man was a toddler when he got his powers

i remember watching this as a kid!

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.

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

Superacid Powers which would more than likely get worst as he goes through puberty.

The villan made me fear for my life when I was younger

Ok this actually looks hilarious and surprisingly well made.

ooh that reference to Hannah-Barbara's Space Ghost as a costume that you can buy really took me off guard

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

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!

Jonathan Majors is a fantastic actor and much more than “that actor from loki”

Im excited for the animated movie you are making!

“KATE FROM LOST” BRO THAT SHOW WAS SOOO GOOD

I loved the Antboy movies as a kid. I thought they were a prequel to Antman as a really young kid aswell. I saw the first two on Netflix and I didn’t realize they were low budget till I got older and weren’t an American made movie

My First Antboy movie was the second one. His helmet and the way the hair pokes out of it, so neat to me.

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.

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.

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"

YEAH ANT BOY LFG

I've been living in Denmark for 9 years now and never heard fo this film until now. Oh boy, am I in for a treat,

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.

I grew up with this series and I’m glad it is getting recognition

I’ve scrolled past these on I think Paramount+ but I was never going to watch it so I’m glad you made a video about it.

As a Dane it honestly makes me a tiny bit proud, that Austin knows we exist.

I went and watched it after this video and...I liked it. Thanks Austin!

I did not know they dubbet it. I am from Denmark and i remember watching these movies as a kid

6:34 love how she seem less afraid and more just annoyed

I watched many years ago and I also didn't know it was dubbed until right at the end when I finally looked it up.

Saw this as a kid, thanks for resurfacing notalgic memorys Austin!

Yes there is an Ant-Boy trilogy. They are pretty good. I hate that Amanda is completely dropped in the sequels, she should have at least gotten a reference or a cameo in the scenes at the school. I've bought all three on dvd but haven't gotten my hands on the original children books the series are based off of. Unfortunately the books haven't been translated into English.

9:29 for a moment, I was sure this surprise information broke him.

I did not expect to ever be reminded of these movies ever again

I remember watching this when I was younger it’s fine but I remember being really confused because the original was in English but the sequels were in another language until this video did I found out why

I do hope we get a AntBoy analysis saga on this channel!

the flea’s hideout looks like a dispensary where they grow it

6:39 He actually says "Sommersted" which is the father's last name. Though I can hear why it sounds weird.

Nice review Austin!👍 I checked out your cinematic universe videos, and I love it man.

I just remember the sequel where the nerd kid was some sort of skateboard ninja?

You need to review an installment of the Antboy franchise in place of the next few Marvel movies, that would be amazing

Holy shit, Peacock has this on their platform in the US.
