What You Need To Know:
ANTZ is a superb piece of computer animation. The voices and matching caricatures of Woody Allen and the rest of the cast render a convincing, enticing invitation to an unexplored yet familiar domain. Although it has some violence, scary moments and mild foul language, good defeats evil in ANTZ. The movie’s moral, anti-Communist worldview takes a Christian stance in its solution to Z’s internal battle whether to serve the community or his own individual desires and needs. Z learns the individual has obligations toward the community, and the community has obligations toward the individual. This is a biblical viewpoint founded on the nature of the Holy Trinity, three persons in one God, the divine foundation for both the Many and the One
