![]() ![]() 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. 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. Z is the only survivor through pure luck. 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.Īll 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. She drags two ladies-in-waiting down to the workers' bar, where she dances with Z, who falls for her instantly. 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. ![]() 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. 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. 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. ![]() The protagonist is a worker ant named Z 4195-simply known as "Z" (voiced by Woody Allen). Nevertheless, it was successful, and in fact was one of the first non- Disney animated films ever to gross over $100 million worldwide. 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. 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. Therapist: Yes, Z! You are insignificant.Īntz 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 ). Therapist: Excellent! You've made a real breakthrough! Z: I mean, you know what is it, I'm supposed to do everything for the colony, and, and what about my needs? What about me? I mean, I gotta believe there's someplace out there that's better than this! Otherwise, I'll just curl up in a larval position and weep! The whole system makes me feel. ![]()
