I don't mean that it is risque but having Woody Allen voicing the neurotic Z is not going to be as amusing for younger audiences as is for older ones. What is strange for an animation aimed at younger audiences is the level of humour seems more of a level which older audiences will find amusing. As such there is no hiding from the fact that the storyline to "Antz" is as plain and ordinary as they come.

Antz movie clip series#
We meet neurotic Z and basically watch him moan about his life, suddenly find something interesting when he meets the Princess and through a series of circumstances goes on an adventure before saving the day. Whilst the idea of watching an animation about Ants, that's not Antz, is quite clever the storyline itself isn't. Returning a hero Z soon discovers that General Mandible has a devious plan a foot to wipe out all the worker ants and create a new super race of ants, leaving him and his new friend Princess Bala to try and put a stop to it. Convincing his best friend Weaver, a soldier ant, to swap places for the day Z sets out to meet up with the Princess, but unfortunately finds him in the midst of a war started by General Mandible. So whilst watching Z woo the Princess and save the day is good fun at the time it doesn't have anything magical to make it stand out from the crowd and stake a claim to being something special.Īs one of millions of worker ants Z feels completely insignificant, but when he meets the beautiful Princess Bala he perks up.

And that is a major problem as whilst it's entertaining to watch you it's also rather forgettable despite a list of stars lending their voices to the various characters. "Antz" is by no means a terrible animation but neither is it an especially good one, in the world of animation it is distinctly average.
