    Great cast but not a great film! Why is it that Pixar and Dreamworks always seem to bring out their own versions of the same story at the same time?

    Totally cute.

    Such a metaphorical film for many issues. Woody Allen was a great choice for the main character here, a great film to teach the kids about individuality.

    Although only coming out a month prior to A Bug's life, I don't think it took anything away from the flim, but in fact helped it and itself by demonstrating how many dramatic and comedic possibilities can be found in an anthill...
    Although this film in itself deals with slightly...( read more) more complex themes, including conformity and war, and its imagery is less colorful and more realistic; for example, the ants' coloration is orange-brown rather than bright blue and the ants in Antz have six extremities (four legs and two arms) rather than the more human-like four. The film shows the transition of the colony from a dictatorship to a democracy. General Mandible's plan to "rinse away all the filth from our gutters" (the colony) is reminiscent of Adolf Hitler's "Final Solution."...
    "Antz" has a more sophisticated sensibility and could play for adults attending by themselves...

    General Mandible: You're an ant after my own heart, an ant who looks death in the face and laughs.
    Z: Actually, I generally just make belittling comments and snicker behind death's back.

    An enjoyable animated comedy, made better by the more adult sense of humor that it brings t...( read more)o the table. It combines rich animation and great music into a world of talking ants. The best part is the voice talent and clever writing that runs throughout this film.

    The story starts off as a Woody Allen film. Z, who is in fact voiced by Allen, is an insecure/nervous ant living in a colony, performing a monotonous job of moving dirt around.

    All of that changes when Z meets Princess Bala, voiced by Sharon Stone, and he gets the chance to show off some more individualism. Things change even more when Z switches places with his best friend, voiced by Sylvester Stallone, to pose as a soldier ant and hopefully see Bala again.

    After being the only survivor in a suicide mission launched by the treacherous General Mandible, voiced by Gene Hackman, Z gets himself into a predicament leading to he and Bala's exit from the colony, where they become involved with each other and witness life beyond the colony.

    The whole movie contains various themes involving social change and individualism, as well as the kind of Woody Allen humor that makes his movies work. Then, as mentioned the whole thing is filled with witty dialog and well done animation.

    There is also a superb voice cast that also stars: Jennifer Lopez, Christopher Walken, Dan Aykryod, Danny Glover, and Anne Bancroft.

    Its a quick watch with a good story and a lot of clever humor. making it very enjoyable.

    Weaver: Don't you want your aphid beer?
    Z: Call me crazy, but I have a thing about drinking from the anus of another creature.
