It was individualism vs. collectivism, democracy vs. socialism, and it sucked. I'm not saying it sucked because I necessarily prefer collectivism and socialism, it just sucked. It was too didactic and Woody Allen is a HORRIBLE cast. I don't think I've been more annoyed while watching an animation. Allen's very voice along with his dry UNwitty humor are like an annoyance spell--the moment I hear it my body wants to convulse. Listening to Allen ramble on incessantly was enough to sink the best movie.
The weird thing about this movie is that they wanted to impress upon its viewer that we're all individuals who should be able to make our own choices, but they used ants to tell the story. I get it: irony, but they quite literally used the most socially collective creatures on Earth who are driven by their DNA to do exactly what they do.
And what was all the adult content for? They could've done without the "hells" and "damns" and the reference to an "erotic fantasy." It is a kid's movie after all. Isn't it?
