Genre: Childrens

Synopsis: 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... 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. [More]

The script, although a little too short (bringing the film to about an hour and 20 minutes, more or less), is sharp and witty, and the story really works.

There are still moviegoers who dream of seeing Woody Allen in a comedy like his early ones 'when they were funny.' Well, the film is here, but no one expected it would be.

This fully computer-animated feature with a phenomenal voice cast delivers a pleasurable 83 minutes of fantasy.
