Antz (1998) More at IMDbPro »

Z makes a sarcastic remark to the ant princess about her being part of his "most erotic fantasies," but says that she can now forget that (after he thinks that she no longer likes him).

Other ants comment on Z "bagging" the princess, but the full meaning of that is never explained.

A bar bouncer tries to punch Z for being a nonconformist, but the punch lands on Z's friend's gut with no effect. The friend then hits that ant, knocking him into the band, and then punches another bouncer. A brief, but all encompassing barroom brawl then breaks out, with many ants punching and hitting others.

The soldier ants fight similarly motivated termites, resulting in many onscreen deaths (nothing too graphic but showing termites biting and/or eating ants, hitting them with acid, or the ants stabbing termites with their spears) and all but Z are dead by the end of the battle.

One of the evil general's men punches Z's friend trying to get him to talk while being interrogated, and the red abrasions on his face show that they've punched him more than once. They also threaten his girlfriend if he won't talk, and thus he does.

An ant knocks down the general, who then knocks Z and himself over a ledge and into a deep hole (where he is presumably killed upon impact, and Z must be saved after being knocked unconscious in some water).

After the war against the termites, and upon realizing that all the other ants are dead, Z emerges to find a soldier ant he had begun to befriend was decapitated. The ant is still alive, despite having had his head severed from his body, and Z picks up his detatched head and has a brief conversation with him, after which the ant dies.

When Z and princess Bala think they have found Insectopia, they meet a wasp couple. The wife wasp wants to help the two ants, but just before she is able to fly off to retrieve food for them a human shoe comes out of the sky and she is stepped on and killed. The scene does not qualify as gory, but could easily be upsetting to a young child. The husband reacts with shock and he and the ants run for their lives.

After Bala and Z have fallen out of the colony, a party appears coming over the hill to retrieve the princess. Before they can reach her, a magnifying glass crosses over their path. One of the ants stops to comment on how beautiful it is and is immediately incinerated. The remaining ants flee as the beam chases after them. It is implied that all the ants but Z and Bala suffer the same fate, but the deaths of the rest are not shown in detail.

At least 4 damns, 2 hells, 2 craps, 1 ass. A character says quietly but in good humor "stop your bitchin' about"

Some ants drink "aphid beer" in an ant bar, and a scout who tells Z of Insectopia appears to be intoxicated.

A wasp flies drunk after appearing from a discarded bottle (presumably of liquor).

Trapped in their new tunnel, the ants are surrounded by a flood and rising water and try to get out before they all drown. Younger kids may later be upset when it appears that Z has drowned, but of course he turns out to be okay.

An ant is shown after having his head seperated from his body during the battle with the termites. The ant dies shortly afterward in Z's arms. This scene is very disturbing.

There is a fairly intense scene where ants are shown being devoured by the termites during the war.
