Actually, it's worse. The termites were stated as neighbors that didn't have any issue with them, nor had they done anything to the ant colony. Out of nowhere, they had the majority of their neighbor's military moving to destroy them, and they responded in turn. Considering that the objective was 'Overwhelm their defenses and kill their queen,' they absolutely failed. The termites had no reason to be aggressive in the first place (which, btw, brilliant choice of 'termites' as the enemies to goad audience expectations). The grunts were lied to, and the termites just went to ground after the ant expeditionary force was killed.

He didn’t know Z, yet he watched out for him, protected him, and even gave him advice that further fuelled Z’s ideology of thinking for yourself instead of what others tell you to think.

I’ve always compared this scene to what happened in Iraq - basically someone high up in the White House (the General Mandible if you like) told George W Bush (in this case the Queen) that the Iraq govt although brutes (like the termites here) were hoarding WMDs and chemical weapons and so George W Bush (again the queen in Antz terminology) signed off on an invasion of the country. The solider Ants aka the American army went in all guns blazing realising there were no WMDs and then had to justify their presence there so killed their queen aka Saddam Hussein (again as much of a brute as he was) but inevitably killed innocent Iraqis as Wikileaks exposed and this turned ordinary Iraqis who otherwise didn’t care about the US or were neutral to attack back in the form of ISIS and other militants in the country in which Iraqis had joined. And look how many innocent Iraqis died as well as Americans deployed under the guise of toppling a government (colony in Antz terms) armed with WMDs and paying with their life

This battle sequence is basically high octane nightmare fuel. It's bad enough that they have one large termite spitting acid that they had to deal with. But an army of them coming down the hill towards you, would be the most terrifying sight you could ever think about. It's like you're dealing with fast moving tanks, terrifying war elephants, or even 100 Godzillas that are bearing down on you.

@@rockandroller7118 If they wanted "scary" or anything with spectacle they could've had them fight ground beetles which are larger than them, which also eat them. That, or pray mantis, which also are much larger and also feed on ants. Picture that. It be like something out of LOTR.

C'mon you ants, you wanna live forever?

If you look away at 1:05, you'll think about Dark Helmet after he called "Ludicrous speed, go!" Colonel Sandurz warned him that setting their ship to Ludicrous speed is dangerous.

2:39 (Danny Glover’s original line) I like you kid you got a sense of humor. FORWARD!!!!!!! Come on let’s kick some termite ass! OVER THE TOP!!!!!

Z: this guy's crazy. Z called it before anyone else. He saw what a twisted loony Mandible was.

It s basicly a kid version of starship trooper . With thermits as bad guy and ants as feferate soldiers .

I bet there were loads of the military ants, listening to Z speaking beneath of the general's speech. Hearing him, totally knowing that he wasn't number 4 of their platoon, knowing that he was some random drone. Standing among the soldiers But they welcomed him. They did not go "General, there's an imposter in our midst we definitely are missing one of our real guys." They let him to come with them because they were such lovely people. Barbatus constantly affirming Z's thoughts and words, never once denying him in a vicious or mean sort of a way. Just correcting him gently, being so polite and kind It makes all their deaths just that much worse, these were good people who did not really hate or want to fight for fighting's sake. They did not deserve to die in the mandibles and the acids spurts of the termites. Z saw how they died horrible deaths in the name of the colony, their beliefs leading them to a miserable end in a foreign land. Far from home, it goes to show that no soldier ever starts off as a real fighter They were all just misled good people. Who welcomed a stranger, who were kind to one who was not one of their own.

This brings back memories.

i have no idea why majority of people prefer a bugs life to this, this is way more real, and its theme is much deeper, what it's like to be an individual, and the impact one individual can have, a bugs life is like what? stand up to bullies? it's for toddlers, this is an adult film.

What’s crazy is literally none of these soldiers knew they were going to war. They just thought they were going in for a royal inspection. Then boom Mandible sends them to their deaths. And they just accept it because it’s their duty. And we find this out when we hear Azteca at the celebration of Z’s return telling Weaver he didn’t know and he shouldn’t blame himself for sending Z to his death. Damn this movie has a lot of dark themes for a kids movie lol

Ironically, male ants wouldn't be doing any fighting in a real ant colony.

Ironically, the termites have a two-gendered army and workers. They are equal gendered. Ants society are pure fem-comunna

The closest thing to a Warhammer 40k movie we got

This Reminds me a lot of Starship Troopers. But with Ants.

And the termites are kinda like the giant Tanker beetles.

Even Mandible acknowledged there were some ‘fine officers’ here despite sacrificing them for his personal gain.

This was always so awesome. Enjoyed it as a kid, and appreciate it even more now

Thats politics for war - if you're good at manipulating innocent soldiers, even those that never wanted a war, they'll follow orders without question

Helldivers 2 in a nutshell

Termites don’t look like that in real life

I never notice the dead bodies during the battle until i was 14

There is a very good chance that I saw this movie and "Starship Troopers" in the same year

Little did, I know, as a kid that the scene would start a long life of despising the military as an institution. The thought of the sane people marching headlong into certain death with only the thought of some “honor” and medals to comfort them is beyond disturbing to me.

Cool scene, though ants are usually bigger then termites in real life.

Not always there are ants out there that are really small.

I remembered how brutal this fight was

The cat pillar's mouth on the inside looked like spaghetti.

Barbados is like the guy who shows you the ropes before he leaves the iob you do. Hes the only one you end up liking.

That looks dark

"Why don't we just influence their political process through campaign contributions?" was hilarious.

“Make no mistake, war is coming, with all of it’s glory and all of it’s horror, Mister Findlay your freedom awaits.”

To think something as messed up as this came from the same studio that made Madagascar.
