Antz is a computer-animated film created by DreamWorks Pictures in 1998, the first feature film by DreamWorks Animation and the third feature-length CGI movie ever released (after Toy Story and the Brazilian movie Cassiopeia). Most of the time, if someone mentions it, they're either comparing it or confusing it with Pixar's A Bug's Life, and fair enough; both are computer-animated films about insects released in 1998. However, Antz is far Darker and Edgier than A Bug's Life, as it was geared more towards adults and teenagers—who all brought their children and younger siblings to see it. Nevertheless, it was successful, and in fact was the first non-Disney animated film ever to gross over $100 million worldwide (the honor of doing so domestically however went to The Rugrats Movie instead).The protagonist is a worker ant named Z 4195—simply known as "Z" (voiced by Woody Allen). He is somewhat neurotic, pessimistic and maladjusted to life in an ant colony, where each individual is treated as an insignificant part of a greater society. One day, he hears a drunk veteran soldier ant go on about some place called Insectopia, where food is plentiful, there are no rules, and everyone lives in peace. Z and his soldier friend Weaver (Sylvester Stallone) snicker at the old ant behind his back and think the idea of an "Insectopia" is hilarious.Meanwhile, the lovely Princess Bala (Sharon Stone) is living in the palace, but finds it dull and does not happily anticipate her upcoming marriage to General Mandible (Gene Hackman), or the idea of giving birth every ten seconds as Queen. She drags two ladies-in-waiting down to the workers' bar, where she dances with Z, who falls for her instantly. Z soon realizes however that he'll never see her again, so he convinces his friend Weaver to switch places with him for a day, just to see Princess Bala at a royal inspection, while Weaver gets to interact with some of the worker girls.All does not go according to plan however, as it turns out the companies under royal inspection are immediately sent into an unexpected war with a nearby termite mound. Z is the only survivor through pure luck.Meanwhile, Weaver, who has fallen for the career girl (and Z's work friend) Azteca (Jennifer Lopez), feels terrible about switching places, even though he too had no idea the army was about to go to war. However when he learns Z is the surviving ant and is now a war hero (despite not doing anything and left traumatized), he is ecstatic.When Z meets the Queen (Anne Bancroft) and Bala again, she recognises him as the worker from the bar, unknowingly blowing his cover. Mandible is furious that a worker danced with his fiancée, and the nervous Z hides behind Bala, but it is assumed that he is taking her hostage. She beats him off quite easily, but in doing so they fall down a garbage chute.Z is forced by a series of his own mistakes to flee the colony with a troop of soldier ants in pursuit. Since he cannot go back, he decides to go out looking for Insectopia. Bala doesn't know how to get back home on her own and has little choice but to go with him.However, General Mandible has much more sinister plans in mind, both for Z and Bala, and for the entire colony...

Artistic License – Biology
 Antz / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: In real life, female ants make up the vast majority of any given colony. Male ants exist solely to fertilize new queens, and usually die shortly afterwards. Male ants also have wings, so all the guys should have looked like the "scouts" like Colonel Cutter. Also, all the ants in a colony tend to be the queen's offspring (except in slave-making ant species), and are usually sterile, so all the romantic relationships in the film would be quite incestuous... In reality, ants generally mate with drones from other colonies. No, termites do NOT look like that. They are small and white◊, with large orange heads, and do not shoot acid, are not bigger than ants, and way more. Some species of termites do have a facial appendage called a "fontanellar gun" that sprays a noxious substance, though it's more of a toxic glue rather than acid, and ironically, spraying acid is more of an ant trait. In fact, ants are typically the predators of termites, and in fact individually outclass them in size, strength and durability. The queen is depicted as being the same size as the worker ants, but with a hugely bloated abdomen. Real queen ants are much bigger than the workers, and while having big abdomens to house the ovaries, is more easily distinguished by her enlarged thorax, which formerly held her wing muscles. The ant larvae, which have eyes and stubby legs and are shown crawling about. In real life, ant larvae are pretty much just an immobile tube with a mouth and anus. Queen ants do not actually make decisions in a colony; her only goal is to produce more ants. The workers are actually the decision-making members of the colony, and it is not unheard of for the workers to kill the queen if she doesn't produce enough eggs. Cutter is depicted as having wings, as are the large, unidentified flying ant... helicopters during the ant march to the termite colony. In an actual ant colony, the only winged ants are the princess and one or more rather wasp-like drones. When the time comes to establish a new colony, the princess takes flight accompanied by her flying drones. It would make more sense for Mandible to have wings, given he's the princess' fiance. In Insectopia, a ladybug mother is shown leading her children through the fields of garbage. Her children are depicted as miniature beetles, but ladybugs have grub-like larvae (for all insects, except mayflies, wings only appear when they are completely grown). Also, she's shown eating garbage, but ladybugs are not scavengers, they are voracious predators. The praying mantis is missing the three small eyes it should have in the middle of its forehead. Chip is depicted with a stinger, despite being a male wasp. A wasp's stinger is evolved from the ovipositor, the siphon-like organ used by most insects for depositing eggs, and therefore male wasps cannot have them.

Gossip Evolution: While Z and Bala are away, the rumors of his standing up to General Mandible, kidnapping the princess, and killing soldiers with a look (actually the fault of a Solar-Powered Magnifying Glass) spread like wildfire through the colony, inspiring the workers to revolt when they hear that it's possible to do something other than take orders. It doesn't last long thanks to General Mandible making it look like Z kidnapped Princess Bala for selfish reasons.

Parents Suck at Matchmaking: Princess Bala is not comfortable with her engagement to General Mandible, since they have nothing in common and her attempts to be amicable are met with indifference. Her mother, however, insists that, deep down, he cares about Bala because he was "very persistent" on asking her hand. It is revealed that the General cares only about Bala to spawn a new generation of ants after he drowns what he sees as "the weak elements of the colony" (read, the working class). The Queen ends up supporting her daughter against him after she learns about the genocidal monster he is.

DreamWorks Face: The dance sequence sees the birth of this trope. It's relatively guileless and appropriate here, but one wonders why or how a facial expression inspired by Woody Allen's nervous grin became the marquis "look" of CGI critters.

CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: Bala uses it on Z—he wakes right up after one breath and no chest compressions. Also a case of Artistic License – Biology, since ants don't have lungs, and their heart is very different from a human's. This is partially Truth in Television though, when a person is pulled out of the water the first thing you're supposed to do is give rescue breaths to stimulate a response to get them to cough the water out. Again, these are ants not people, but any lifeguard will tell you this is proper protocol in such a situation.

Be the Ball: In an early scene, a large numbers of ants join together into a massive wrecking ball. If you're lucky, you're somewhere in the middle of the ball; if you're Z, you're one of the ten or so forming the chain at the top who have to support the weight of the rest of the ants. One ant, who coordinates the action, literally yells "be the ball", making this movie a very tardy Trope Namer.

Humans Are Cthulhu: A plastic-wrapped sandwich is "surrounded by Some Kind of Force Field", and an unseen sadistic human with a magnifying glass becomes a Flying Saucer with Death Ray (complete with sound effects from the 1938 The War of the Worlds broadcast) in a clear take-off of the "It's beautiful" scene in Independence Day. Also the human at the picnic, who is practically a living mountain compared to the insects (all we ever see are his feet and legs). A teenage boy’s sneaker is the size of a battleship (the scale according to Word of God). The directors stressed that the film didn't show how small the ants were, but how big their world was. Oddly averted when Z stares at Lincoln's face on a penny and exclaims, "Who the hell is that?!"

Chekhov's Skill: Z never has a plan; he simply knows what he wants or intends to do. However, the bar dance scene shows that he's actually capable of thinking on the fly and under pressure. His making things up as he goes is what ultimately saves the colony and helps him learn to appreciate himself both as an individual and as a part of something bigger.

Ink-Suit Actor: Nearly everyone has some resemblance to their voice actor, of course turned into anthropomorphic ants. It is actually quite unnerving watching Weaver channel the expressions of Sylvester Stallone. The irony is that, according to the DVD Commentary, the characters were all designed before the actors were cast, as was the decision to give Weaver "Stallone-esque" lips. Inverted in that Z originally was to wear Woody Allen-style thick glasses. They decided against it.

Unpleasant Animal Counterpart: The termites are painted as the unpleasant counterpart of ants while the ants are portrayed as highly anthropomorphic and intelligent, the termites are monstrous creatures with jaws full of sharp teeth and showing no sign of intelligence on the surface. The truth subtly comes out through some dialogue which implies that the termites are more intelligent than they seem, with the Big Bad of the movie who is an evil ant military commander being the one who actually instigated the war with them, completely subverting the dichotomy.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: To Independence Day, when the kid with the magnifying glass vaporizes a dumb soldier ant who thinks the light is beautiful, a take-off on a similar dialogue. The sound effects are directly from War Of The Worlds 1938. Metropolis, the scene where they try to drown the workers. Any resemblance to Starship Troopers during the termite battle scene is a coincidence, according to Word of God. The film also has strong elements from The Red Badge of Courage. There are several subtle shout outs in dialogue to Star Wars: "I hope you know what you're doing." "Yeah, me too." "The Colonel is not as understanding as I am." "Aren't you a little short for a war hero?" "Who's the bigger idiot? The idiot or the one who gets kidnapped by the idiot?"

The Mourning After

comment
The Mourning After: Chip does this after his wife Muffy is swatted. When Z decides to follow Cutter back to the Colony (after he picks up Bala), Chip offers to help him get there, coming out of a discarded bottle of scotch, drunk from grief.

Running Gag
 Antz / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: "Yowch!" For clarification, during the scene where Bala asks Z to dance with her, someone steps on Z's foot and he yells "Yowch!". When Bala looks at him to see what's up, in an effort to hide his clumsiness and attempt to impress her, he insists he's just making things up as he goes since it's no fun dancing like everyone else. He continues to reference it occasionally throughout the movie.

comment
Artistic License – Physics: Water surface tension is depicted at the ant level (when Z is trapped inside a droplet), but later, it behaves on a human scale when the colony is flooded. The DVD Commentary acknowledges this, but states the change was for Rule of Cool and Rule of Drama. During the scene where Z and Weaver discuss Z's offer to swap places for a day, the light source is a harsh, bright blue, yet the lighting is soft and warm. Again, acknowledged in the DVD Commentary. General Mandible dies by falling on a branch, hitting it with a heavy thud. Anyone who knows the slightest about ants know that they have extremely light bodies and thus won't die from a fall.

Attack! Attack! Attack!: Standard soldier ant tactics, and said word-for-word by Z when trying to impress Bala and the Queen.

Weaver's interrogation scene qualifies as well, which leads to a funny line from the DVD Commentary:
