It is a cartoon meaning two things: First it shows us a typical cartoon. A cartoon of children..Main character Faces with some fun and this make audience have some fun. However, the cartoon has another face. As can be seen in the book of George Orwell called 1984, there can be a guy distinguished, alienated himself from the society even though the society was established with very strong ties. It is interesting that, there can be another member like himself and they find each other by ignoring some strict rules. As we saw it in 1984, same thing occurs in this cartoon. Being bored of her life, Princess Bala joins to workers entertainment. And the `extreme` life of the couples gets start. As the time passes, strict rules become useless and some liberal ideas spread through the society. Moreover, we see some lovers from different classes. These are some examples of the destruction of a totalitarian society in the cartoon. And we see many fascist rulers like General who wants to create a pure colony in our world. This cartoon is a very good example of this idea. As in the real world this idea collapses at the end. Finally i can add that there is a lot to learn how to make all the members enough satisfied. May be there is no way...

Antz is rock-solid entertainment, and while it isn't as funny as Bug's Life, it has a great social message that Bug's Life lacks. I thoroughly recommend this movie, and the only criticism I have is that there are some scenes that young children might find frightening, like the fight between the ants and the big green bugs. The visuals are a delight, as well as the tightly-structured script.The story, while simple, is well-told, and is sensibly revolved around the life of Z, brilliantly voiced by Woody Allen. Sharon Stone was suitably feisty as Princess Bala, and Sylvester Stallone was a huge surprise as Weaver. Christopher Walken was also good, but it's the villain who steals the show, like Bug's Life. Gene Hackman's General was deliciously sinister, and quite complex, very similar to Kevin Spacey in Bug's Life(Hopper is SLIGHTLY better). All in all, a witty and charming film, that is recommended. 9/10. Bethany Cox

This is one of the greatest animations of all times; And together with the great animation,are the actors who are behind the voices: Woody Allen is perfect as the voice of Z, a neurotic and complicated ant,that is not happy as a worker in his colony. Jennifer Lopez(Azteca),Sylvester Stallone(Weaver) Christopher Walken (Colonel Cutter)and Sharon Stone(Princess Bala) are great as well, and I cannot imagine another cast. Antz probably will be more completely understood by adults than kids;the reason why I say that, is because this animation is clearly a critic for a totalitarian societies where the individual does not count,and people can't think for themselves. When Azteca says to Z 'you think too much' or 'you should accept the place you are' and things like that,you can have an idea of what the ants society is based of. As a lesson of this movie, we can say that is always important to think for ourselves and not follow all the orders people gave to us.

Maybe I was a victim of high expectations, but after all I had heard about it, I was disappointed in Antz. The animation was interesting and enjoyable. But you have to be a fan of Woody Allen to enjoy the story. And I am not. I didn't realize the plot was so similar to the typical Woody Allen movie - watching him deal with his neuroses. Hear that A Bug's Life is much better, looking forward to seeing it.

Miles better than A Bug's Life. The latter film was just bugs-in-peril...a bit like The Seven Samurai, yes, but essentially unimaginative (if funny). This takes Woody Allen ("the middle child in a family of 6 billion"), makes him best mates with Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Lopez, and sticks him on the run with Sharon Stone. At the same time, thousands of his fellows are massacred in a Starship Troopers-like attack by termites. Only in animation. It's exciting, it's clever, it's often hilarious, and it boasts one of the best ensemble casts ever put together.
