Z-4195 (Woody Allen) is just a worker ant - one in a billion - and his odds of landing the beautiful Princess Bala (Sharon Stone) are about the same.
Undaunted by the colony's unyielding caste system, Z enlists the aid of his best friend, a soldier ant named Weaver (Sylvester Stallone), to get to the Princess. When a remarkable twist of fate turns Z from a common drone into an unlikely hero, he unwittingly puts a bug in the ambitious General Mandible's (Gene Hackman) plan to literally liquidate the colony and remake it in his own image.
Z soon finds himself leading a revolution that becomes a celebration of individuality in the face of overwhelming conformity. Once the most insignificant of workers, Z may just prove to be the biggest hero of them all.

Reviews for Antz
The filmmakers seem to have deliberately snubbed the traditional audience for animated features.
Uma formiga que deseja ter um pouco de individualidade? Puro Woody Allen.
The American myth of individualism as an antidote to conformity comes across loud and clear in Antz. Here freedom is glorified as the central virtue of life
Hilarious stuff, superbly achieving that elusive goal of being entertaining kids fare and having a lot to offer the adults.
The best thing about Antz, I'll say it right away, is Gene Hackman (General Mandible). Just for him, it's worth seeing Antz.
...a visually stunning film, embracing varied and sympathetic characters and a surprisingly coherent story.
HormiguitaZ es un claro ejemplo de lo que va a tener que luchar Disney para mantener su estatus de excelencia
Antz is brief enough, clocking in at 83 minutes, but its story is too predictable to make an impact even in such a short space.
Dreamworks SKG's first stab at animation is good enough to make Mickey Mouse proud.
Ultimately, it is difficult to mine warmth from a story about an ant colony; worse, the only real guffaws come from Allen doing Allen.
It is truly a film for the entire family and a portend of the road the new Dreamworks studio is creating.
