      Idk I didn’t see these movies, it might be thanks for the correction if so.

      I am already very enthusiastic about, uh, nevermind.

        They came out close together and both featured ants as main protagonists. A Bug’s Life is the one pictured.

          Antz was the “copycat” movie that was rushed out to beat A Bug’s Life into the theaters. Back when animation studios even bothered with that shit.

        I find it neat from a psychological standpoint the way your brain merged the two titles into one.

          The way I merged two things i’ve never seen? You are a [redacted] clearly.

            I don’t understand. My comment wasn’t meant to be an insult.

            If I stuck a nerve, it wasn’t intentional. I’m just fascinated by how the brain works.

              It’s also possible they were aware of both individual titles, and conflated them purposefully to elicit the response it got. Given the OCs responses to some of the comments, I’m inclined to lean into this explanation.

              Which is also fascinating in its own right.

            Just using [redacted] doesn’t mean your not an abelist asshole if you still think of using terms like that.

              Give it a rest, nobody wants to ban words like stupid, moron, idiot, asshole, douchebag. No one, and you will harm us all in continuing to try.

              You are also grasping at straws for a criticism here. You have nothing,

      Yes.

      (I only saw Antz but not A Bug’s Life, and just sort of assumed Antz had the more subversive social message because it wasn’t Disney.)

        Definitely. The collective workers rise up against the militaristic ruling class, after, of course, those rulers attempt to murder them all for their ‘glorious future’. Unfortunately, Antz and A Bug’s Life also share something else in common. Both star sex pests in the leading role.
