Antz 'The Termite War'

[@MrNuclearturtle]

Aint it surprising how much of an adult themed storyline this movie is? A general who wants a new reborn colony of "pure" ants and to do that, he has to get rid of the queen, and rid the royal forces loyal to her by starting a war which decimates both sides.

[@dionwoollaston5717]

Ohh it's been a will since I seen this so I thought the general used it to seek out the strongest ones in the colony

[@LuckySmurf]

dion woollaston No, he just wanted the Queen's most loyal soldiers dead.

[@nube1oscuras]

Oh my god, I remember ANTZ. I also remember this being the most METAL scene I ever watched in a Pixar movie. Like StarShip Trooper Metal. which is awesome!

[@Jon_Nadeau_]

This isn't a Pixar movie. Antz was produced by Dreamworks Pictures. It was their first CGI film.

[@nube1oscuras]

okay okay, i gotcha. still intense though.

[@umidontno040394]

actually termites do regulary defend their mounds from ants. it mostly depends on the species of ants and termites. but usually they are the same size but some termites do really shoot acid from their forhead.

[@dartgrade8218]

That Feeling when Barbatus dies, "chills" and you just feel for Z. They developed such a good character in a small amount of time. (My favorite dream works movie)

[@andresisthename]

One of the most criminally underrated movies of all times. Great vid man, keep it up!

"Don't make my mistake, kid. Don't follow orders your whole life. Think for yourself. . " Always made me cry when I watched this as a child. And still does...

[@lukej7758]

The whole head decapitated but still alive and talking thing disturbed me as a kid

[@Cokecakepopcorn]

One of them great movies, so good for showing horrors of war but in a PG film.

[@river6634]

"We'll all be dead before we're threw, hurrah hurrah." Talk about motivating your troops.

[@river6634]

*through

[@normanosborn1277]

They're laughing at death.

[@BurkenburgWelt]

I'd say since termites cannot squirt acid, they'd probably be based off nasute soldiers, a type of soldier that squirts chemicals from a snout on its head, except there are some differences of those and these ones when it comes to their appearances.

[@donjon4335]

***** yes that's what he's talking about. The nasute soldiers he mentioned are termites.

[@NoiseMarines]

It's the typical vietnam trauma screnery. Young guy drilled to serve without questions and wasted in a useless war they thought they would easily win. great work! Full Metal Antz! XD

[@soroxas8776]

"Don't make my mistake, kid. Don't follow orders your whole life. Think for yourself." Words to live by considering most people now would rather follow than be free thinkers.

[@erikeliasson4739]

Really quite a dark message for a childrens movie lol

[@M4JEST1K666]

R.I.P Barbatus. I've always remembered what you said since I was a little boy. "Never follow orders your whole life, think for yourself". Although I got in a lot of trouble back then, I'm proud to be the man I am today; A Commando. :)

[@Zapinc9]

sylvester stallone AS AN ANT?!?!?!

[@skrivbok]

BUT he's the BIGGEST ant ;)

[@teenagerinsac]

skrivbok too bad they didn't model the ant as Sly REALLY is- 5 feet 7 :)

[@ShockLegionLeader]

Y'know the ants from Bugs Life could learn a thing or two from these ants. These guys wouldn't pay tribute to some punk ass grasshoppers.

[@LordRndom]

Zach Zier I don't think that the grasshoppers are something to fear for these ants. I mean, they are fighting Termites...

[@zbbinfinite]

Zach Zier Yeah man, legit.

[@NihilistAlien]

i was really surprise as a kid, this battle almost look like starship trooper scene, with all the violence it implies.

[@F4EPhilosophy]

This was my favorite movie growing up, still love it!

[@johnnywalker7961]

Bug life+ Starship trooper+ Aliens = Antz .

[@Jerone211]

Wow.. This was my favourite scene when I was a kid watching this movie. aah.. I feel so old now rewatching this

[@MrHaro654]

so anyone else liked this movie? because I did

[@jasonalcatraz5817]

Loved it!

Reminds me of Starship Troopers.

Except they get owned.

[@NoiseMarines]

SombreroKing That moment when you realize that this scene in the movie is the Antz equivalent of the Battle of Istvaan III.

[@talloncusack]

This is bringing me back. I looooved falling asleep in my room watching this as a kid. I would put it on when I was scared at night. I'm 22 now.

[@JoelSeMontre]

2:28 I never thought one time in my life that i will see a fucking ant battle ...

[@LightningSkittles101]

What happened to the ants stingers and their own acid. In truth, the ants would have easily overwhelmed them.

[@GMKGoji01]

…I dunno. Maybe the writers didn't know the ants even had those?🤷‍♂️

[@ZeldamateurLP]

I think the spears they have are supposed to represent the stingers. As for the acid, not every kind of ant has that.

[@Cleric775]

That's pretty much humanity's like. No difference.

[@roberttreacy8271]

2:22 ATTACK!!!!

[@Agrothewarhorse]

i remember going to go c this on release in theaters when i was younger and i was like O.O the whole time during this battle. pretty intense

[@lethostormcrow3142]

This scene terrified me as a kid... As a grown up I find it rather cool though

[@wsdpii]

It's like Warhammer, but PG.

[@Magicmicr0]

Guardsmen vs orkz

[@winsbo1]

yep imperial guard overwhelm your defences by sheer numbers, :D

[@neumann2550]

Magicmicr0 Guardsmen vs Ork Nobs actually.

[@Ethanjayc]

***** Guardsmen vs Tyranids actually ;)

[@neumann2550]

Ethan C Tyranids would overhelm YOUR defences by sheer numbers.

[@mandalorian9]

The battle was awesome and when Barbatus died I was choked up...such a good movie and definitely the most mature for a kids movie.

[@JamesSkinner108]

[@Schumanji89]

This movie was shown over a year in the kids corner of our mall. And nearly every day there were screaming and crying kids during this scene xD

"Why don't we try and influence their political process with campaign contributions?" Spoken like a true Jew, Woody Allen. Spoken like a true Jew.

That was just plain hilarious. XD

[@tatabetita5321]

The Queen even mentions that they have lived in peace with the termites for a long time. With giant acid-squirting monstrosities? Diplomatic peace? That makes no sense...

[@killbaks]

I remember watching this movie, loved this part of the movie.

[@nwoyelawshea2722]

This is the first time I ever heard this song when I was a toddler 😂

[@GeoffreyBronson]

'They're five times our size and they shoot acid from their foreheads'

[@vDeparture]

The nostalgia... it hurts.

[@LoneWanderer101]

What kind of battle ends in everybody dying?!

[@LoneWanderer101]

***** No I mean EVERYONE literally dying! So that if you want to know how the battle went you have to send someone to check!

[@ShockLegionLeader]

Ever seen the 1930's classic Peace on Earth?

[@LoneWanderer101]

Zach Zier Yep. And the 1950s sequel. I just find it so strange and surreal that after getting shot that soldier would kill the last person on Earth for nothing more than spite then again leaving him alive would be crueler...

[@CutieMikell]

You know what they say about all fair in war, this by far a cheat code will most be in order.

[@CutieMikell]

[@TheMan6376]

Ah this reminds me of my youth, loved this movie as a kid.

[@lotten1992]

I don't know about you, but i just want to say that, no animated movie of today in my opinion, will never EVER have an equally epic battle-scene such as 2:20-3:30

[@left4deadian]

Come on antz you wanna live forever?

[@surrehue333]

I saw this as a kid and got long nightmares. Love this movie.

[@erikwalther1262]

Starship troopers is in related vids lol

[@enderzilla747orleomiranda8]

[@GalacticHouseFilms]

man, I didn't realise how freaking dark this movie was as a kid.

[@Megalodon64]

This was my favorite scene out of the whole movie. Whenever i thought of war, i always thought of this scene. Still do today

[@helowarz]

Join the Forest Ant Federation! We will defeat the Termite menace! Hail the queen! (We promise we wont drown the hive why your gone!)

[@johnnywalker7961]

this battle reminds me of starship trooper

[@shadowperson12]

this was my favorite movie when i was a kid

[@Snowman20]

1:04 and 2:44 were my favorite scenes, with the flying ants! It really, really reminded me of a moment at Boy Scout camp that we had. Other scouts crushed a giant 2 or 3 foot high anthill multiple times, that evening, we got attacked by swarms of very large flying ants. We were by the fire and every few seconds, one of the scouts would shout in pain and pull a giant flying and off his arm or leg XD We lost count of how many flying ants attacked us that evening.

[@LHCgamers]

Thanks for your time.

[@guardiajuro]

this always reminded me of starship troopers

[@BostonBruinsOWN]

this was the best ever

[@diabetic233]

When ants go to war, it's a thing of beauty if you really think about it. Nature is a master creator.

[@Tijopi11]

I made the mistake of watching this movie as a kid. I couldn't watch any of this fighting scene, and I just couldn't bring myself to accept that ant's head wasn't attached to his body. I thought his body buried behind him or something. Even so, it continued to give me nightmares for a while

[@Iamtidal]

i just watched the movie today and realised, holy shit my life is changed forever.

[@Omnikron228]

Ant speicies usually have specialized raiders that are purely bred for attacking and defending. These particular ants are usually only slightly smaller than a termite and have an extremely powerful venom that will make short work of the termite. Whether they win or not is situational.

[@Dupontman627]

DreamWorks first animated movie was different than the rest

[@Gundamluverx]

@Balthic Well, there are species' of ants that have big "Heavy" types that are the same size as-or bigger than- a termite, but the standard worker or soldier is WAY smaller!

[@triggerblade98]

i always wondered where did they come up with the acid spitting termites

[@thepower1802]

This scene was the most scarring and graphic thing I had ever seen for some reason. I still have no memory of seeing anything that affected me quite so much, even after the last decade of the internet.

[@umidontno040394]

"Don't follow orders your whole life, think for yourself". ironically thats a very important line that everyone should follow.

[@MrNightmareUnleashed]

my favorite part is when you see the termites all swarming down the walls, awsome

[@Goth-fan]

Hey Petter thanks for uploading this. Reallt takes me back to my chii=ldhood -Javier

[@Sceptile409]

Barbados definitely had one of the saddest deaths in the history of movies. He spent his life following orders like a mindless drone and then he dies in battle full of regrets with his head dismembered.

[@SCIFIguy64]

We need you to stop the termite menace. Far across the forest, 7,000 feet away, is Klendathu. A colony of termites is nesting there, with an unlimited supply of water. If they aren't stopped, they will hurl drops of water towards us, killing many. We now bring you live to the fleet!-*Just play the battle scene in*

[@Swiftbow]

@sunlun123 The big ones are soldier termites. The workers are the smaller ones.

[@zebare726]

This war ended in two possible outcomes A. Z was the last Bug standing, giving his side the victory by default B. The termites went back down to there lair, once they killed every antz on the Battlefield, granting them the victory given that Z can hardly defeat the remaining termites.

[@soldier-rv9dn]

Did anyone see this in theaters in the pass If u did was it different from the movie theaters now?

[@Agrothewarhorse]

COME ON U ANTZ...U WANNA LIVE FOREVER!!!

[@egraseidannogew]

Funny how the message of "thinking for yourself" is portrayed through the eyes of ants (the epitome of a command hierarchy) - Zing!

[@NoiseMarines]

Seems about right. Only the Imperium would send an entire platoon to be completely decimated.

[@BFisichella]

always my fav. scene...

[@umidontno040394]

well it depends on what kinds of ants and what kind of termites.

[@ShockLegionLeader]

That termite mound must be right next door they didn't even finish the song.

[@lotten1992]

'Think for yourself.' And that's the last words from our dear, brave ant-soldier Barbatus let's have a moment of silence together with Z

[@dagdamor1]

There were FAR MORE than enough ants at the beginning deployment scene to run roughshod over the termites XD

[@Wirrn]

@Andyp12 I was under the impression ants usually are smaller, just a lot tougher. Could be wrong.

[@Sidewinder5O4]

Seriously, every time I see this scene, I think that too!

[@tatabetita5321]

Needless to say, after watching this film as a kid, I was greatly disappointed the first time I saw a real live termite. It's a small, soft bug like a cross between a white ant and a shell-less cockroach...a far cry from these monstrous, fanged, acid-spraying horrors here.

[@odstarmor557]

i loved this part in the movie

[@GramajoDarvin]

I remember when i saw this when i was a kid lol i was acting like this was the best war scene ever

[@Dimensionaluk]

This was their first fully animated feature it may not of been as refined or polished as Toy Story was but it's certainly good for one of their first projects. Also keeping in mind Pixar was once the computer graphics of light and magic and have had much more time to perfect their technique.

[@MrPaull0324]

This is all pretty much a PG-rated version of Starship Troopers. And it still holds up well today 👍

[@husker7141]

So his heads detached yet he can still talk and hand out fatherly advice? What a fuckin' badass!

[@toyy7675]

Aw i feel like watching this movie again lol

[@856Lockdown]

now i remember how real this scene was and how scary those termites looked.

I still imagine Red Ants fighting like this.

[@SirDakkalot]

Holy crap it's been forever since I saw this.

[@nikedadoug]

This part kind of reminds me of Starship Troopers! Its uber cool!

[@Andyp12]

Like others have said its a shame that termites arent really bigger than ants like this, in reality they tend to be much smaller than most ants.

[@duranjames61]

am I the only one that never noticed some of them had battle axes???? :D this was my favorite movie as a kid!
