It seems to me that Antz is one of Hollywood's first attempts at making animation for adults on a grand scale. For years other countries like Japan have understood that it is not the medium in which a film is created, but the story behind it that counts. Antz has taken that concept to the U.S. and I am very happy that they did.
I have nothing against Disney animation.... as a matter of fact, I enjoy most of it, but Antz is definitely not a Disney film. It is an adult film that children may enjoy. It is aimed at the adult, but marketed for children. Woody Allen was his typical neurotic self. Sly Stallone played one of his best roles in years. And Christopher Walken was great as usual. Check it out if you get the chance.
P.S. This movie may not be a great idea for extremely young children. There are a few brutal war scenes which might scare a young child (the termite battle for those of you that have seen the movie). You may want to view it before showing it to a child, just to make sure it isn't too violent for them.
