Antz recap
Z is a worker ant in a vast colony who feels like a meaningless cog. In a bar he dances with Princess Bala, who is bored with her engagement to General Mandible, and falls for her. To see her again he swaps places with his soldier friend Weaver and ends up marching in an attack on a termite nest, a battle Mandible has arranged to wipe out the soldiers loyal to the Queen. Z is the only survivor and returns as an accidental hero. When his fraud is exposed he flees, accidentally taking Bala with him, and the two search for Insectopia, a fabled paradise that turns out to be a rubbish bin at a human picnic. Meanwhile Mandible puts the workers to work on a huge tunnel he secretly plans to flood, drowning the Queen and the workers so he can found a new colony of his own.
