60 of 285 · most liked firstmom : I cant understand how my son became a leftie. My favorite movie as a kid : Antz, a movie about a socialist worker ant who dreams about a society where everyone has a Voice and the Movie’s ending is direct metaphor for freedom and individuality vs fascism and military dictatorship

neutral · AI labelView post →I fucking hate for the fact that the first Dreamworks film Antz stars WOODY ALLEN as an insecure ant and people don't realize that he's a horrible person in real life. FUCK. WOODY. ALLEN.
negative · AI labelView post →Fun movie trivia: Tim and Eric directed Dreamworks' first animated feature, "Antz"
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh Antz, what a film.
positive · AI labelView post →'Antz' and ' Over the Hedge' director Tim Johnson is launching Underneath the Umbrella Productions with Goodman Pictures, and will helm a 'Wizard of Id' feature, having also acquired rights to Johnny Hart and Brant Parker’s other iconic strip, 'B.C.' www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...
neutral · AI labelView post →It's A Bug's Life. Antz was the Dreamworks film from around the same time
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait a minute - you're telling me there's a movie called "Runner" AND a movie called "The Runner" coming out within a week of each other? That has gotta be the lamest fucking Antz/Bug's Life shit I've ever seen.
neutral · AI labelView post →The 1998 film Antz was a covert message sent from the future into the past as a time capsule. It can only be decoded by True Antifa Super Soldiers and we CANNOT allow the OrangeBadMan to steal this vital intelligence via alt text.
neutral · AI labelView post →“But how else will people relate to the characters—“ YOU ARE THE REASON THE HALO LEGENDS SHORT THAT GAVE US THE FIRST ON SCREEN FEMALE SANGHEILI MADE HER LOOK LIKE SHE WAS TRANSPLANTED FROM THE MOVIE ANTZ You are WEAK.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've never seen an ant fursuiter in the style of ANTZ. that's how you know that movie sucks.
negative · AI labelView post →this is about stills from the movie Antz (1998), and you are having delusions of grandeur
neutral · AI labelView post →Holey moley - it's the 25th anniversary of #shrek this week. Hats off to the team at PDI who up'd the game in animation so quickly after 'Antz'. Here's a fun collection of some CG model/wireframe/simulation tests from the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →getting ptsd from the termite battle in the 1998 film Antz
negative · AI labelView post →Just watched The Prince of Egypt for its 25th anniversary and god damn Is Dreamworks kinda better than Disney? I MEEEEEEEEANN IS IT????? Yeah Dreamworks made my least favorite movie of all time, Antz, but its highs are so, so high. Prince of Egypt is a masterpiece.
negative · AI labelView post →Dreamworks should have made a movie called Carz, and it's their edgier version of Pixar's Cars. Like Antz and A Bug's Life
neutral · AI labelView post →i think, no joke, the only woody allen movie i've ever actually seen is Antz
neutral · AI labelView post →The streaming era has deprived us of one of my favorite Movie Things: when two studios have ludicrously expensive movies with basically the same premise and then have a very public battle over it (see DANTE’S PEAK/VOLCANO, ANTZ/BUG’S LIFE, DEEP IMPACT/ARMAGEDDON, ID4/MARS ATTACKS). Miss that.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ever wondered what it would look like if Jamie Foxx was in the hit Dreamworks film Antz. No? Ok then
neutral · AI labelView post →idk what made me look this up but what the fuck do you mean the writers of Rogue One were some dude who wrote American Pie and Antz and another dude who wrote the Bourne movie scripts what the hell
neutral · AI labelView post →don’t watch the movie Antz after taking an edible or do you don’t have to listen to my warnings
negative · AI labelView post →Antz also is a better movie than Bugs Life and i don't think we're ready for that conversation yet
positive · AI labelView post →I thought you were mixing up this movie with Antz, because the pedo Woody Allen is in that movie. I didn’t realize Kevin Spacey is in Bug’s Life.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie ‘Antz’ was far too ahead in its conjecture and vernacular to be deemed a children’s movie. Then again I believe it was only rated PG but what fucking 8 year old understands communism?
positive · AI labelView post →The first time I dropped acid, I went to see Antz in the theatre. I had to keep reminding myself it was an animated movie about ants. Like I completely forgot about movies as a concept. All that is to say I have fond memories of the film.
positive · AI labelView post →also isn't this being posted about the movie Antz? like... b r u h
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, I've long preferred the Pixar approach to announcing movie projects. Although I feel the reason they started doing that was Lasseter not wanting another Bug's Life-Antz situation.
neutral · AI labelView post →look at this face. do you intend to tell me you actually, unironically want a movie with eyes THIS uncanny in 2025? bc i don't believe you. these eyes are from an era of uncanny eyes in early 3D. Antz. Butt Ugly Martians. the humans in Toy Story and Monster's Inc. They're OLD and needed an update!
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, Antz wasn’t a Disney movie, so that’s probably why Disney and Pixar don’t mention it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie that scared me as a kid??? The fucking Antz movie from Dreamworks.
negative · AI labelView post →3. The DreamWorks film Antz You know why. youtu.be/0QYvix21wH8?...
neutral · AI labelView post →The best part is that this is in response to someone alt-texting… a screenshot of an X post claiming that Disney/Pixar has suppressed the movie A Bug’s Life (which the alt-text mislabels as a different movie, Antz), because it speaks uncomfortable truths about class solidarity or something
neutral · AI labelView post →1. Y'all know this already, but I'll bring it up every time It was the movie Antz. The shoe scene with the gum and all. Something about it just stuck with us forever. Made us feel funny. Etc
neutral · AI labelView post →I just learned that one of the movies in the possession of Osama bin Laden at the time of his death was Antz, a movie I co-wrote.
neutral · AI labelView post →Natalie Dyer and Tomothy Chalamet cast in the live action remake of 1998 film Antz
neutral · AI labelView post →The Antz termite battle is the best war movie ever made
positive · AI labelView post →*Antz* was the "copycat" movie that was rushed out to beat *A Bug's Life* into the theaters. Back when animation studios even bothered with that shit.
neutral · AI labelView post →Local Size Kinkster Has Such Fond Memories of Antz They Keep Forgetting It's A Woody Allen Movie
positive · AI labelView post →A Bug's Life Antz A Bee Movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Had Antz suggested as a movie to watch and for a second just thought the movie image was a caricature of Cillian Murphy
neutral · AI labelView post →DreamWorks' first animated film Antz was an adventure of an ant named Z (Woody Allen) an outcast ant who runs with a princess ant (Sharon Stone) outside the colony. Also it competed against Disney and PIXAR's A Bug's Life which came out about a month or so later. Decent first film of a new studio.
neutral · AI labelView post →*stranded on a desert island with a portable DVD player* Well, this sucks but at least I brought the critically acclaimed animated movie A Bug's Life to pass the time. *presses play, Antz logo appears* Well, this sucks but at least I can k*ll myself.
negative · AI labelView post →Another week watching TV shows ("Sweetbitter" bc I'm on my Paul Sparks kick). Rango's fun, Antz has too much Woody Allen, the extended cut of Mad Mad World confused me with deleted scenes being sepia still frames,& War of the Worlds deserves to be used as biofuel. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
negative · AI labelView post →Watched Antz for the first time in ages yesterday, and I can't think of many other animated films for children that have less interest in being an animated film for children.
positive · AI labelView post →I like that this was their response to being criticized about not including alt-text for their conspiratorial post about the movie Antz...
neutral · AI labelView post →unbelievably funny that someone is throwing this tantrum over a screenshot from the dream works movie Antz. conservative specops larping is embarrassing, but this lib brained sigint opsec larping somehow eclipses that.
neutral · AI labelView post →people talk about shrek as if it's a movie made with nothing but hate but the actual dreamworks movie that is made with hate is ANTZ
negative · AI labelView post →What does the film ANTZ have to do with actual ants? We explore themes of leadership, social hierarchy and gender in both ANTZ and Ants in our new Open Access article in Culture and Organization @biologyatyork.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
neutral · AI labelView post →I stand by my opinion tha Antz was a great movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Showing to Hollow Knight characters the 1998 movie Antz to fuck them up for life
neutral · AI labelView post →popeye in this movie is done in CGI and he looks like the Antz from dreamworks Antz
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember when we just had two of the same movie coming out at the same time? Antz/A Bug's Life Deep Impact/Armageddon Twister/Tornado! ...more I'm forgetting.
neutral · AI labelView post →Going to watch Antz Such a great movie, visually magnificent. The blu-ray is obnoxiously minimal, no subtitles at all
positive · AI labelView post →Alt text (1/2) 2 still pics from the Disney movie Antz showing the head bully grasshopper. "Those puny ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life."
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes. (I only saw Antz but not A Bug's Life, and just sort of assumed Antz had the more subversive social message because it wasn't Disney.)
positive · AI labelView post →Its pretty easy to be seen and praised as the masterful studio when your competition are visually unpleasant and/or tonally weird films like Shrek, Antz, Bee Movie, Chicken Little, Shark Tale or Hoodwinked
neutral · AI labelView post →I appreciate what Antz does, but I feel like it's a very inconsistent film itself I don't find any of the characters that memorable and it's humor is VERY hit or miss
neutral · AI labelView post →Weird to see this movie come out just a month or two after DreamWorks' ANTZ so there was a bug war in 1998.
