World's Most Sexist Movie, why not?

Rating: 2/10 (29 April 1999)

A minor point: in ant colonies, males exist only to mate with the queen, then are discarded. By human standards, they are literally sex slaves in a female-dominated society. As for the movie, I count a whopping three females in the cast. The hero, of course, is male. Technically, "Antz" is the most sexist movie ever, implying the most highly successful species on Earth is run and operated by males, when the exact opposite is true. Its critique of ant social structure is likewise so badly thought out that I wonder if the creators are illiterate.
And why not? All the detail in "Antz" went straight to computer graphics, even though the cinematography is second-rate. The voice actors are unskilled, the characters cardboard (even the spunky princess and bumbling hero give that "been there done that" feel), the humor bland, and the plot idiotic. It's possible Hollywood simply abhors admitting to children that female-dominated societies can be successful, but it's more likely that the creators were too stupid to know and too apathetic to care.
Why are Americans so uneager to show children quality material? If you want a good children's film, try "My Neigbor Totoro". No CG, but plenty of beautifully detailed art and elegantly simple themes. If you want wow-wow computer graphics or social critiques, "Ghost in the Shell" offers oh so much more, albeit not for kids. "Antz" is cash-cow Hollywood.
