On the surface, Antz (1998) is just a quirky animated movie about insects. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find a full-blown dystopian allegory crawling beneath the soil. In this episode, we uncover how Z’s search for freedom clashes with General Mandible’s authoritarian vision of the perfect colony. From hive-mind conformity to the cost of individuality, we break down the darker messages hidden in DreamWorks’ first animated feature — and why Antz feels more relevant than ever.
