Perhaps the reason Antz is so very successful is the brilliant choice of actors who give voice to the ants: Woody Allen, Sylvester Stallone, Anne Bancroft, Danny Glover, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Jennifer Lopez, Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, and Christopher Walken all portray more than a little of themselves through their ant physicalities, and it's fun to spot the voice and then picture the humanity behind the animation.

Woody Allen, for example, is perfect as the proletarian who stimulates the masses to think for themselves. Recently it has seemed to me that Woody Allen makes the same movie over and over again, and after almost thirty years he probably should be dealing a little better with his angst. But as Z, his appeal is universal. Z looks a lot like E.T. but his crisis is very earthy. He's a worker who feels insignificant, and he is.

The early scenes's involve the nitty gritty of ant life. Working, sleeping, and hanging out. There's a great bar scene with Sylvester Stallone as Weaver, a soldier ant and Z's best buddy. The pair drink, check out girls, and dance.

Then the movie becomes an action flick as little Z finds himself a war hero and a criminal within minutes of each other, only to be jet propelled into the adventure of his life with the feisty Princess Bala.

I am biologically challenged so much of the entomology themes and puns were lost on me, but I loved every inch of this movie and can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.
