back in 1998 when my teacher asked what we did in the holidays i said "i watched antz at the cinemas!!" and he was like "how much for??" "ten bucks" "ARE YOU KIDDING ME, YOU COULDVE WATCHED ANTS IN MY BACK GARDEN FOR FREE!!!!"
I love this movie. Its one of my favorite animated movies that I grew up with. Im 19 and I bought this on dvd. Too me this movie was way better then a bug's life. Antz, The Road to Elderado, Chicken Run and Toy story were some of the best animated movies of my generation.
Tammy Jackman are you an idiot? please read before you comment. I never said it was better then toy story. I said it was better then "a bug's life." Then I said that toy story were some of the best animated movies of my generation.
Clifford Hopkins Well I know it's your opinion but A bugs life is better then antz by a mile.A bugs life has a great story and has a likeable character , while antz has a decent character and a character I didn't care for .Example why would you say "yes" after someone ask you to dance?You don't even know the person.Overall antz is not bad but not great.It is in the middle, but I know it's your opinion and I respect that.
In the 1998 Dreamworks/Pixar wars, Dreamworks won by leaps and bounds with this one as far as I'm concerned. One of my absolute favorite movies growing up.
+Taylor Abrahamse to be perfectly honest, i grew up with A bug's life (didn't even know this existed) and i love the general style of bug's life more than this. I love DreamWorks more than Disney but eh. I'm preeeetty sure everyone is going to favor whichever movie they grew up with.
Antz is a great movie I saw that in theaters from years of course I was sitting there in the theater and I was in my Baseball uniform I wored my cup underneath my black baseball pants
My 7th grade social study teacher use this movie to teach me communism, elitism, militarism, aristocrats, and hippies. The social satire in this movie is incredible, particularly that scene based on Metropolis.
This movie introduced met to Woody Allen, Gene Hackmen, Anne Bancroft, Grant Shaud, Jane Curtin, and Danny Glover. So now when ever I see any of these actors/ actresses ill always think of Antz. I like Woody Allen because he has Aspergers like me. I wasn't even born when this movie came out. My brother Justin was 2 when it came out. His birthday is July 31st 1996. I didn't come along until August 5th 1999. This is my 320th comment I have ever posted on youtube in my life.
I Loved Antz this movie is my one of those DreamWorks movies I love Z, z is my favorite character and antz Since I was a little , after i Watched Shrek
What's weird is that the big ant actually says "Let's kind some termite butt" in the movie, but says "termite ass" here. Usually they make the language more family-friendly in the trailers, so it's odd they did the opposite here.
SO much better than a Bug's Life. I thought as much back when I was 8 and I still think the same. IT'S WOODY FUCKING ALLEN. Just being the same neurotic character he always plays!! BUT AS AN ANT! There are so many great things about this movie, I can't even begin to list them.
I agree. In fact, one time while my dad and I were watching the movie Antz, my dad asked me that he does not understand why a bugs life is more popular than Antz . He says that Antz is a way better movie than a bugs life. I agree with him. I never get tried of the movie Antz. I always enjoy watching it.
In the trailer he says "Let's kick some termite ASS.", but in the movie he says "Let's kick some termite BUTT." You can tell the difference between the two, right?
Apparently, Woody Allen, the voice of the main character Z, hated doing this film. He was asked to repeat the same lines over and over and over again. Also I think it took 5 days for him to record all his lines and he was frustrated because he likes to work really fast.
I've never really seen the resemblance of "antz" and "bugs life" While they both have the hero and the princess (and ants), which may lead to some thinking they are comparable, they focuse on different topics with similar situations. In "Antz" the protagonist is an ant within colony, while the protagonist in "bugs life" life is a grasshopper. An attack from within the colony vs and an attack from outside the colony. The protagonist in ants is sphycotic and deceptive, and wishes to exterminate the weak in his own kind. while the one in "bugs life" is deceptive and takes advantage of the ants while knowing their strength. Their similarities make them alot alike, but their differences make them completely different.
Well, that actually applies to about everything for DreamWorks vs. Disney animations. DreamWorks can always make the witty nice movies while Disney makes them to suit younger children's taste.
@DreamworksAnimFan Hi... Can you help me with something? Can you tell me what's the name of the song that is playing at the start of the vid?Thanks in advance!
I was 6 years old when I saw antz in theaters and of course I was being toilet trained where I was put in pull ups diapers and I wore sweatpants and a comfortable tee shirt I felt the urge of my bladder feeling weird so I gotten up out of my seat to use the restroom when I got back to my seat to sit I littery sat on my stuffed animal Mr bear which the stuffed animal was behind my butt and the next thing that happened I farted which stinked like hard boiled eggs it was right the magnify glass scene
Just to clear things up the ever reliable Wikipedia say that the founder of Dreamworks, Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney in 1994. Disney had been working on an ant/bug film since 1988, and he took the ideas with him. It was a very personal feud. Katzenberg said development of Antz would stop if Disney moved the release date of A Bug's Life, which clashed with Dreamwork's Prince of Egypt. They refused. A brief summary: Dreamworks nicked the idea from Disney and made the film faster than Pixar did

The Wild and Madagascar were in a DreamWorks/Disney battle even though the wild is not distributed by Pixar
Before I watched A Bug's Life or Antz for the first time, at first I thought that both movies were same movie when I still was a little kid.
This trailer makes it look like a war movie.
I kind of see this as A Bug’s Life tied with an Oliver Stone war film
And it doesn't make Mandible look like the villain
this is one of my favourite movies

Watched this movie waaay more than A Bugs Life back in the day..
this movie is so much better than a bugs life
nobody I’m not that familiar with this movie, A Bug’s Life is what I prefer!
Antz is good, but I personally prefer a Bugs life

He says that Antz is a way better movie than a bugs life. I agree with him. I never get tried of the movie Antz. I always enjoy watching it.
i loved antz as musch as i loved antz. It's two differents styles, that's all.
leave antz and a bug's life alone! :p

Apparently, Woody Allen, the voice of the main character Z, hated doing this film. He was asked to repeat the same lines over and over and over again. Also I think it took 5 days for him to record all his lines and he was frustrated because he likes to work really fast.
If the directors had simply let him “work fast”, he would’ve liked doing the movie more.
