You gotta remember: in battle the termites may ACT like savage beasts, but earlier on it was established they were peaceful neighbors to the ant colony and the general used them as a ploy to wipe out the ant soldiers loyal to the queen. The termites were only defending their home and people from an unprovoked attack, and were completely exterminated for it. The final shots of the aftermath of the battle don't just show the countless dead ants, but all the TERMITES who were killed unjustly as well. Both sides were innocent pawns of a corrupt and selfish political figure who manipulated the masses into dying for his own agenda and taking out an enemy that didn't even really exist. Frankly, I've never seen a better allegory for war in any other film.

One thing this scene does well is that it definitely has sympathy for both sides, The Ant soldiers are being sent on a suicide mission, just so they won’t interfere with the villains plans, and the termites are defending themselves from and unprovoked attack….. Man this movie goes deep….
Being a mature person is realizing that it is a matter of personal tastes and we can't really compare two completely different movies for the sake of bashing one of them just because they present the same animal protagonist.
Barbatus was such a badass. Gives his spear to Z and climbs up the termite, attacking either barehanded or with a knife of some kind.The after the battle scene is just amazing too.

Well, I think the horrible reality of war is, that you would most likely be among the killed and crippled. And even if you get out mostly unharmed, you will come back to a society that has abandoned you and went on so much further with its life that you will never be able to catch up again. Not sure how that is depicted here.

His supreme officer, General Mandible ordered him to counter strike and non existing threat. When the time was there, the lieutenant only had to flip. He knew were the enemy was. He flipped, and knife handed the direction screaming the goosebumps giving charge sign “ATTACK”.
When a 90s animated film targeted to kids managed to portray the horrors of war accurately. I remember thinking Barbados’ body was buried underneath all the rubble, but the fact they made it just his head really pushes the dark aspect
I was amazed by how they really made a personality for each ant soldier, their heights, their faces, their colors, and even their movements when marching aren't synced together
3:25 “ATTACK!” Gives me goosebumps every time. Man I love this movie! I watched this so many times when I was a kid. This came out in 1998. I was five years old. Wow time flies.
I was literally 6 months old when this came out! and I didn't even see it until I was 13 which was just the right age for me to appreciate its mature themes and commentary on social order.
Not to mention further into teh battle, the small snippets of other soldiers communicating with one another, i.e "C'mon!", adds weight to this battle scene.
@@quinna5537 Pretty sure that Johnny comes Marching Home is a cadence about Union soldiers returning their dead comrades to their families in coffins during the 1st American Civil War.
"why don't we just try and influence their political process with campaign contributions" As i kid i didn't understand this. Now this cracks me up and makes me sad
I believe the problem here was the part of "your whole life" & "Think for yourself" good to follow orders but we must decide when to stop and look for another way. Being a rebel is a good way to end up dead sooner than later. If ya think something is not good dont give ya the right to not follow all the rules.
It's kind of impressive that they wrote the battle like this. Them falling into a ambush instead of swarming the termites like planned makes it feel even more hopeless but even when they're surrounded they still manage to charge and turn it from a ambush into a full on brawl. It makes you bounce between dread and hope and determination and I imagine people have always felt a mix of those emotions in war. Even though he's scared he still tries to help after Barbatus reassures him and he sees him charge off. Unfortunately they don't really show if they really won or not. It's very possible the termites just went back into their colony after the ants were all dead and Z is just lucky he left before they started dealing with the bodies.

@@anthonyramirez9925 if you think this you are gravely mistaken. The point of the mission was to kill them, the general knew that there was no way possible they would survive. It is show that they were horribly outmatched and pretty much doomed. Even weaver would get clapped

Honestly one of the greatest war scenes in cinematic history and it is in a kids movie! The march into war, the ambush, the ruthlessness of the action and the aftermath. The dialogue between Barbatus and Z has no business being that good in a kida movie.
Speaking as someone who grew up watching this movie, and then served in the Army for 8 years; I can definitely say that Barbatus' last advice still strikes a cord with me to this day.
2:10 If you think about it, the flying ants are technically all princesses or princes of the queen, and it's common in fiction, both in film and mythology, for royals to be absolute badasses in combat. So technically these guys are the elites of this army, you'd think at least a couple would survive to return to the colony after the battle. EDIT: Also shouldn't there be maybe a few times as many workers following in a sort of wagon train behind the army to collect the dead from both sides, seeing as all of those dead would probably serve as a great source of food for the colony for a while?
It would be very cool if I or someone would do some ant war movie where ants use kinda modern war weapons and other toys, ballistic gel and airsoft weapons
If it was an actual sanctioned army by the queen there probably would have been keep in mind these soldiers are loyal to the queen and the general sent them to die so his coup will succeed, so they were sent to die without evidence of their fight.
Fun Fact: Ants and Termites are natural enemies, and termites are in fact a heck of a lot larger than ants but in battle, ants annihilate termites. The Ants are a lot more aggressive than the termites and have strength in larger numbers. Ants are also known to raid termite nests and even eat them sometimes
If they were Argentine ants, it'd be even more of a bloodbath. The Argentines would still overrun the termites, but they'd take horrific casualties, even worse than these ants, cause they're still pretty small, and they'd have multiple queens supporting them, cause this is probably in America, and most of the colonies are actually part of a single mega colony.

"Why don't we try to influence their political process through campaign contributions" Lmaooo oh man, as a kid I had no idea what this meant. Now that I've voted a few times and pay attention to politics, this line is absolute genius

"Why don't we just try and influence their political process with campaign contributions?" This cartoon literally spelled out american corruption on the dot.
3:46 in case anyone’s wondering: yes, termites actually can do that. It’s called the fontanellar gun, and can “fire” bursts of a glue-like substance over a distance of centimetres. The force with which the substance is launched is often enough to kill whatever poor insect it hits with just the sheer impact, but if they survive, the substance itself will kill them over a span of 24-48 hours. Nature is so cool!
@CalvinV7 Between termites and ants? It varies by species but yes this kind of disparity could happen between one species of termite and another of ant.
I was 7 when I saw this movie and I feel like it impacted me in a way that made me think about actions and their consequences; kids this days need to watch this masterpiece. This movie inspires.
You’re a Hero, Z. Not because you survived gruelling combat or made it home, but because you held a dying comrade in your arms and let him give his final words amid a battlefield of his fellows who went on ahead.
That bit of "don't follow orders" is quite silly. The general was right in his speech. That's why soldiers live. The individual doesn't matter. Only the colony matters.
***** Not in the case of the ants. It may apply to us, but it doesn't for them. Each and every thing they do is for "the good of the society", because is th eonly kind of life they can have. You consider it from a human perspective, but not one of those soldiers knew about the General's plans. They were sent by the queen, died for her. How and why don't matter. And besides, what are a couple hundred of soldiers? They can easily be replaced. The individual is not important, the only thing that matters is the colony.
AmericanWarrior1776 the Grasshoppers knew this, it was explicitly stated that they spend a long time making the ants feel as small and worthless as they did, just so the ants didnt kill them
***** that is why the Grasshoppers were doing this...they probably started when the colony first got started, and kept on going over and over, never letting the ants realize how baddass they were
This scene sort of messed me up when I was a kid. I remember thinking..."Where's Barbatus body? Why is he buried?" When Z picked up his head is when I realize his body is separated/chopped clean off from his head.
Barbatus's death is the heartbreaking 💔 part of this movie. He and Z just meet for 3 minutes and then fight in the same battle where one of them dies while the other lives. But Barbatus kept Z safe like he had promised. ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤
The “over the top” reference was genius, referring back to WW1 where going over the trenches and charging forward against fortified enemy lines almost always meant death,
@@isthatajojoreference. Everyone is different though, right?

The Battle of the Termites was the deadliest battle during the Antz-Termites War in 1998. The battle started after the mobilisation of Termites troops near the colony. In the colony, the ants decided to send a preventive attack. Near 800 soldiers marched to the camp, and at 22:00 hours they started a charge against the Termites troops, finding themselves cornered. Five minutes later, the Termites army started an ambush. The battle ended the next day without a clear result, and both armies completely destroyed
The battle started because General Mandible was a sociopath who wanted to send Ants loyal to the Queen to a battle they couldn’t win so no one would be there to defend the queen
One detail I appreciate is the different shades of Ants and the Female Ant that calls Z “Shorty”. It Shows the variety of people the Military actually has. The Marine Corps is the most diverse environment I have ever been a part of. We look different but share the same culture. It’s a beautiful Place

3:25 “ATTACK!” Gives me goosebumps every time. Man I love this movie! I watched this so many times when I was a kid. This came out in 1998. I was five years old. Wow time flies.
I was eight years old back then. Loved this movie then - and it's still great to this day! 👌
The soundtrack really added fuel to the fire
I was literally 6 months old when this came out! and I didn't even see it until I was 13 which was just the right age for me to appreciate its mature themes and commentary on social order.
Not to mention further into teh battle, the small snippets of other soldiers communicating with one another, i.e "C'mon!", adds weight to this battle scene.

“For the Queen!” - Fellow soldier pierces Termite’s chest with their spear, heroically
Hero of the colony
It's kind of impressive that they wrote the battle like this. Them falling into a ambush instead of swarming the termites like planned makes it feel even more hopeless but even when they're surrounded they still manage to charge and turn it from a ambush into a full on brawl. It makes you bounce between dread and hope and determination and I imagine people have always felt a mix of those emotions in war. Even though he's scared he still tries to help after Barbatus reassures him and he sees him charge off. Unfortunately they don't really show if they really won or not. It's very possible the termites just went back into their colony after the ants were all dead and Z is just lucky he left before they started dealing with the bodies.
Cutter actually reports the Termites and their queen were all killed, it was just at the expense of all those Ants.
Well it looks like all the termites got killed along with all the ants but Z the only survivor.
@@maliikprior5243A bunch of termites. The rest likely did return to their nest. Besides like ants termites have their own queens ready replenish their number.

Honestly one of the greatest war scenes in cinematic history and it is in a kids movie!
The march into war, the ambush, the ruthlessness of the action and the aftermath. The dialogue between Barbatus and Z has no business being that good in a kida movie.

That's a beautiful quote. Thank you, for your service too.

@@Face_Reality you clearly have no idea how bad war is dude
@@SlavicUnionGaming you know he got the quote from the film right?
Talk about cringe….geez.
Antz was pretty damn brutal. Also the scene with the ants destroyed by a magnifying glass was like some sci-fi alien invasion attack.
2:10 If you think about it, the flying ants are technically all princesses or princes of the queen, and it's common in fiction, both in film and mythology, for royals to be absolute badasses in combat. So technically these guys are the elites of this army, you'd think at least a couple would survive to return to the colony after the battle.
EDIT: Also shouldn't there be maybe a few times as many workers following in a sort of wagon train behind the army to collect the dead from both sides, seeing as all of those dead would probably serve as a great source of food for the colony for a while?
It would be very cool if I or someone would do some ant war movie where ants use kinda modern war weapons and other toys, ballistic gel and airsoft weapons
If it was an actual sanctioned army by the queen there probably would have been keep in mind these soldiers are loyal to the queen and the general sent them to die so his coup will succeed, so they were sent to die without evidence of their fight.
Fact: all workers and warriors are females

Fun Fact: Ants and Termites are natural enemies, and termites are in fact a heck of a lot larger than ants but in battle, ants annihilate termites. The Ants are a lot more aggressive than the termites and have strength in larger numbers. Ants are also known to raid termite nests and even eat them sometimes
If they were Argentine ants, it'd be even more of a bloodbath. The Argentines would still overrun the termites, but they'd take horrific casualties, even worse than these ants, cause they're still pretty small, and they'd have multiple queens supporting them, cause this is probably in America, and most of the colonies are actually part of a single mega colony.

It's a better alternative than trying to force your opinion through violence.
3:46 in case anyone’s wondering: yes, termites actually can do that. It’s called the fontanellar gun, and can “fire” bursts of a glue-like substance over a distance of centimetres. The force with which the substance is launched is often enough to kill whatever poor insect it hits with just the sheer impact, but if they survive, the substance itself will kill them over a span of 24-48 hours. Nature is so cool!
*why does these exist aaaaaaaaaa*
So for the ants we are gods ?
@CalvinV7 Between termites and ants? It varies by species but yes this kind of disparity could happen between one species of termite and another of ant.
Shadowkey392 Does the substance affect human skin?
@@desertlightning4200 No, aside from being slightly sticky. It kills by immobilizing and suffocating, so unless you're an ant you're safe.

That bit of "don't follow orders" is quite silly. The general was right in his speech. That's why soldiers live.
The individual doesn't matter. Only the colony matters.
***** Not in the case of the ants. It may apply to us, but it doesn't for them.
Each and every thing they do is for "the good of the society", because is th eonly kind of life they can have. You consider it from a human perspective, but not one of those soldiers knew about the General's plans. They were sent by the queen, died for her. How and why don't matter.
And besides, what are a couple hundred of soldiers? They can easily be replaced.
The individual is not important, the only thing that matters is the colony.

The Battle of the Termites was the deadliest battle during the Antz-Termites War in 1998. The battle started after the mobilisation of Termites troops near the colony. In the colony, the ants decided to send a preventive attack. Near 800 soldiers marched to the camp, and at 22:00 hours they started a charge against the Termites troops, finding themselves cornered. Five minutes later, the Termites army started an ambush. The battle ended the next day without a clear result, and both armies completely destroyed
Beautiful
Amazing story telling
Bro history channel or nat geo need to hire you
I would say from the scene more that 800 ants were present
The battle started because General Mandible was a sociopath who wanted to send Ants loyal to the Queen to a battle they couldn’t win so no one would be there to defend the queen
One detail I appreciate is the different shades of Ants and the Female Ant that calls Z “Shorty”. It Shows the variety of people the Military actually has. The Marine Corps is the most diverse environment I have ever been a part of. We look different but share the same culture. It’s a beautiful Place
