Parents guide

An ant tells the princess how she was originally going to be part of his erotic fantasies.

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

A giant fly swatter hits (and presumably kills) Muffy the wasp. A shoe with gum steps on the princess. Z tries hanging on the laces to saves the princess but gets stuck on the gum too. The shoe goes up and down onto the grass in a carnival ride motion. The human uses a penny to slip the ants onto the grass

Z takes Princess Bala hostage after being surrounded by some ants. Both of them fall on a slide tube down into the deserted ground. After being kidnapped, Princess Bala smacks, elbows in the face and then hits Z several times and punches him again.

Insect on insect violence is hard to rate, but the ant vs. termite battle scene near gives the category a "heavy" rating.

A group of insect workers make a "Wrecking Ball" out of ants grouping together. They smash objects but one ant could not hold on and he lets go of the ball causing the ball to crash to other ants in a colony rant.

A battle between ants and monstrous, scary-looking termites leaves many ants and termites dead. During the battle ants climb onto termites and try to impale them with spears, while termites bite the ants and spray lethal acid (we see ants writhing in agony as they get sprayed). A decapitated ant head can still talk and wonders what happened to his legs and body.

A human magnifying glass is used to zap several ants (in a close-up we see one crumble after being burned to a crisp) and also the magnifying glass ray chases Z and the Princess.

Two ants are trapped in a drop of water. The whole ant colony is threatened with extinction as water rushes into their underground tunnels. The ants make a ladder and heads out before everyone drowns to their death.

One of Mandible's men punches Weaver 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 Azteca if he won't talk, and thus he does.

A bar bouncer tries to punch Z for being a nonconformist, but the punch lands in Weaver's gut with no effect. Weaver 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.

Quite an infrequent amount of language for a computer-animated movie.

1 use of "shit"

One character asks "What are you bitching about?".

Infrequent casual uses of "Damn", "Hell", "Crap", and "Ass".

The main character in a bar refrains from drinking a beer from the body of an aphid and says, "I have a thing about drinking from the anus of another creature."

Soldiers are frequently shown drinking and drunk throughout the film. Such as one ant who is drunkenly talks about Insectopia and anther fly questioning the universe and acts weird.

Ants are shown drinking "beer" by sucking on the body of an aphid (a small louse-like insect).

Bala suddenly finds herself on the back of a praying mantis that turns its menacing head around toward her (she quickly escapes).

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

The designs are quite strange looking and might be frightening to some children.

A battle scene where the monstrous looking termites come racing down a hill, shooting acid from their heads and fighting the ants.
