@@aimlovesmusic1469 I recall that too. I wasn't watching the movie, but years ago, when I was five, I walked through a darkened classroom where a group of toddlers sat in front of a big-screen TV, watching a "weird, animated movie that looked like Bug's Life." By the way, the pre-school was in Texas, and it wouldn't surprise me if some of the teachers were Christians. Anyway, I caught only a second-long _snippet_ of that movie, but it stayed in my memory even years later. Finally, when I was twelve, I was attending private school, and my PE teacher had this movie projected on a wall whilst me and other twelve-year-olds watched. I not only recognized the animation, but finally learned what it was called. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised by the cursing. Also, I was confused, because the adults always kept telling us that curse words were bad. But in that same school, I got in serious trouble for supposedly saying the F word even though I actually said "frick." ...And allowed us to watch this movie. Grown-ups of the 2000's/2010s had a weird relationship with it, I swear.
To be honest, it was a good movie on its own. The only thing it had in common with Bug's Life was really just the fact that both movies talk about ants.
This movies is 100 feet up Bugs life,is talks about comunism,dictature,union,rebellion,politic,freedom,death,and a lot of other things,how people don't get that is incredible...
It's crazy that two competing film industries both had artists and writers that felt overworked and underrepresented and both studios came to the conclusion of making movies about being an ant under pressures of tyrants that rise up and take control over their lives IN THE SAME YEAR.
Because Eisner took the concept with him to DreamWorks when he left Pixar to start the company. That isn’t to say Antz is a ripoff of A Bug’s Life- far from it, the only things they have in common are super surface-level- but he used the same basic elements in order to create a film to compete with Disney.
@therabbitfollower5550 No I agree. I think both movies should be judged on their own merrit. Bugs Life was more of a critique on capitalism and about how a small act of justice can ignite others to stand up for themselves and about how workers don't need the oppression of the wealthy to tell them what to do and that individualism and creativity can help a system flourish if it's nurtured rather than stomped on by conformity and authoritarianism, it's hopeful. While Ants on the other side is a much more cynical view on society and tackles concepts like the ethics of social cleansing and who it truly benifits the elete furthering their personal agendas, and how mindless patriotism and compliance without criticism can lead to good people fighting and dying in a war that they don't even believe or fully understand in just to oil the machine.
@@therabbitfollower5550wrong person. Eisner didn’t leave Disney to co-start DreamWorks, that was Katzenberg. Lord Farquad from Shrek is actually a caricature of Bob Eisner.
Because people today have grown into overly sensitive pussies. What was rated G in the 90’s would be rated PG-13 by today’s standards. Add a cigarette, now you have an R rated film.
I honestly feel like Antz is one of the most underrated movies I've ever watched in my life. It's literally so funny and I will never understand why people don't like it for find it really boring, cause it's got such good characters, the humour is on point, the story is well written, the acting is done so well, the soundtrack is so catchy and overall it's just a fun movie to watch. I hope more people find out about it and get to enjoy it as much as I do
It definitely seems a lot funnier than I remember, I'd like to watch it again. I honestly think a really big part of why ppl didn't like it though was the artstyle,, the characters r not the most appealing to look at and the colours are a bit drab for an animated family movie of the time. It also had to rival with a bugs life which came out the same year, was a lot more aesthetically appealing, and did way better in the box office
I LOVED this movie as a kid. Absolute gem of a movie. I didn't really like Bug's Life that much, all the side characters were just annoying and felt like they existed only to try and convince me to buy merch or something.. but Antz was a great movie! Love the rendition of "the ants go marching on" in it as well lol Very very slept on. I think if the art style were more appealing it had done better but honestly it fits the movie's tone much more I think if it weren't for whatever reason advertised as a "family movie" for kids, it would have done a lot better.. because it didn't feel like it was intended to be for kids, even aside from the swearing lol
Oh my gosh… that bit scared me so bad when I was little. I had this weird uneasy feeling when the wasps showed up in this vid but I couldn’t recall why it was making me so uncomfortable. Trauma officially revisited! Some twenty years later and seeing the lady wasp still makes my guts clench lol
I remember that scene. Boy, that one was creepy. And a bit disturbing. Mind you, I wasn't extremely devastated, but my twelve-year-old self just gazed numbly at the movie thinking... _'How is this supposed to be a joke?'_ Because to my remembrance (I haven't seen it in years), it was played as a form of crude humor.
My older sister use to love watching this movie when she was little and recently my whole family rewatched it again, while I did enjoy it, it was still a little weird to me, probably because they have teeth for some reason
When I was little I didn't even know what the bad words were. I literally was just like, oh more words I don't have the attention to learn right now looking back I can't believe I was allowed to watch it at all lol
My dad is relatovely unenthused by animated films, but I can tell you the first time he watched Antz, the scene of the soldiers marching to their deaths got to him lol
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Perhaps back at it's release it was fine, but nowadays you can only have one f*ck in a PG-13 and maybe hell, anything else is off-table these days outside of R. Nowadays PG just means it might be a little unsettling or have slightly darker themes, but nowhere near as insane as this movie was
There are some kids movies who have bad words, (The Iron Giant) but BOY at 1:36 I surprised when I heard it. And the part at 5:19. This is not a kids movie
I forgot how much I loved this movie, despite not understanding most of it as a kid. I think the last time I watched this movie I was either 10 or 11 years old, now I wanna watch it again. It’s not a bad movie at all, just slept on. And it’s most definitely not for kids who watched it as young as I did☠️
This is one of my favorite movies. Its so underrated. Like i get its kinda ugly, they werent wise going with an all biege color sceme for the movie lol. But the voice acting and rhe plot is insane. This is marketed as a kids film and rhe main villain literally threatens to use the princess as Grape breeding slave. Like General Mandible is one of the most intense villains of any kids movie of all time. He literally is trying to destroy most of the world he knows
Holy shit this really is the most unserious movie ever. Some movies are just better when rewatching as an adult. It's crazy how unhinged some of these movies were at this time. Also these edits are giving me life
Dang, i dont remember this having that language. Although i was a little kid, still trying to understand english and i thought the designs were freaky. The scene that really imprinted on me was that tower of ants and water rising. Holysh*t, i feel like watching this again.
all memes and jokes aside i was NOT expecting to hear Kiss the Rain by Yiruma today ... i totally forgot about that song and it brings so many memories.. xoxo
People in these comments saying this film wasn’t made for kids but my 6(?) year old ass got taken to the pictures to see the big cartoon and I, like Z, was not prepared for the termites
Was not expecting them to say “bitchin” lmao
I recall watching this movie in daycare as a kid!

Funny thing is was that the movie was rated G. I still have the VHS tape in my house 😂
@@AflipKID91 well I watched the original True Grit movie from 1969 with John Wayne in it for the first time, and that was rated G at the time. 😅

Either that or Shrek
Literally

This movie in a nutshell:
Mom can we watch a Bug’s Life?
We have a Bug’s Life at home
a Bug’s Life at home:
To quote JelloApocalypse, “it’s like if HBO made A Bug’s Life”.
No bc I was so confused I thought thats what it was
To be honest, it was a good movie on its own. The only thing it had in common with Bug's Life was really just the fact that both movies talk about ants.

A Bug's Life is good.
Antz is better.
Bro i still dont know how this movie is rated PG 😭
This was back when PG actually MEANT something, instead of just getting rated PG for *gasp!* THEMATIC ELEMENTS!
Characters run around a bit and you get a PG for some action
The 90s were a different time
People weren't overly sensitive and emotionally weak
Hahah how tho lol. Like I don’t even know how they got away with all that😂
Not the gigachad ants- 😭😭😭😭😭

@ Ah, mea culpa! I’m really bad with names.
This was the bee movie before the bee movie
This is far better than bee movie
Antz walked so The Bee Movie could run
Antz sprinted so Bee Movie could take a mild jog
Antz did a whole damn marathon so the Bee Movie could crawl
💯
I honestly thought at first that it was for kids until I heard some bad words 😂

I had to do a double take bc I did NOT remember this movie having curse words when I was six
I coulda sworn when I was kid it was in the Netflix kids section but that was 10+ years ago.
I think it technically _is_ for kids, just those who are old enough to be in middle school.
FINALLY SOMEONE EDITING ANTZ OMG THIS MOVIE WAS SO SLEPT ON
All the animated DreamWorks movies before Shrek are slept on.
And all the ones after suffered because of Shrek's success.

NO CUZ THAT SHIT TRAUMATIZED ME SO BAD AS A KID
That and the termite war that was pretty scary as a kid seeing the soldier ants getting sent to their deaths, kinda messed up
I remember that scene. Boy, that one was creepy. And a bit disturbing.
Mind you, I wasn't extremely devastated, but my twelve-year-old self just gazed numbly at the movie thinking... _'How is this supposed to be a joke?'_
Because to my remembrance (I haven't seen it in years), it was played as a form of crude humor.
Awwww I liked them, they were so happy together!
The most unrealistic part about this movie about talking ants is Woody Allen being romantically interested in a women his own age.
Lmao
💀💀💀
remember that an ant colony of 5 million is seriously lowballing the size of actual established ant colonies
The usual ant colony consists of around 20,000 to 100,000 ants
Everyone falling flat on their backs at 3:02 had me crying 😭😭😭
1:26 aww hell naaawww how did this movie pass as a childrens movie
😂😂😭😭
It's not a children's movie and never has been. Animated doesn't automatically mean it's for children.
Ahh the good old PG days…

@@RedRoseSeptember22 I watched this when I was a child😨
What…
@@jamiethecringequeen me too. I had the vhs. My mom watched it me!

i want more movies like this. this was my childhood and it would do so well in helping kids embrace the weirdness of life
This is one of those really weird/kinda baffling movies but…like…in just the right way…at least for me anyway. 😆
I loved this movie as a kid cuz the dialogue and situations seemed real just modified to ants.
My older sister use to love watching this movie when she was little and recently my whole family rewatched it again, while I did enjoy it, it was still a little weird to me, probably because they have teeth for some reason
3:02 me when I hear my mom coming to my room to check if I’m sleepy💀💀💀
This is literally the sleepover when footsteps are coming towards your room
Why does the main Ant character look like Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders 😂
I will never be unable to see it now😭
@ 😂😂 Cillian is still a legend
I don’t know why, but the male ant lead being so gangly looking always enraged me as a kid. Totally not rational but it grinded my gears
I've never seen an ant as punchable as him
When I was little I didn't even know what the bad words were. I literally was just like, oh more words I don't have the attention to learn right now looking back I can't believe I was allowed to watch it at all lol

I love old DreamWorks movies
How did this movie get PG 😂🤦♀️
PG is Parental Guidance :) so it's fine.

I'd say someone getting casually decapitated is too intense for a "children's" film but that did happen in Hilda.
_They got better._
This is honestly the funniest video edit I’ve seen in a fat minute
You’re telling me this is a pg rated Dreamworks film with swearing? I don’t remember this😂😭
that scene when his head was sticking out from the ground, it still traumatising me today 😨
Oh my god I forgot about the lovey-dovey wasps!
Antz: You're just a cheap fricking knock-off
A Bug's Life: Oh, no no no. I'm the upgrade
1:25/6:27 that part left me traumatized now im even more traumatized
Omg I just realized that I need to rewatch this masterpiece.
This video is perfection✨
idk why but when I was really little this movie scared me
Same. It looks scary and the characters are unlikable
Bug's life was more aesthetic, but Antz is objectively better story wise and biological accuracy(-ish) that i didn't appreciate enough as a kid
