Review of Antz (1998) by Dan L — 17 Aug 2012
What started off as a social commentary of the working world changed into a battle about human (ant) nature. It's rather dark for a seemingly humble kids film. I don't think I'd let my child watch this.
It's aimed for adults as opposed to children. Then again, it could be made for kids and in a shocking turn of events, not talk down to them for once. It treats the kids as adults and tells them how things are instead of sugar coating it.
Some of the scenes in the film pull no punches and tell the scene how Dreamworks wanted you to see it. So much so that they show multiple deaths throughout the film. The symbolism it holds is what makes the film.
You need to see this.
