A restless worker ant changes roles with a soldier ant in order to get the girl, who just happens to be a princess. The animation is breathtaking in this story of true love amid a totalitarian state.
Woody Allen and Sylvester Stallone play ant friends in the film; the last time they were on film together (and that time, appearing as themselves, not as cartoon characters) was when Stallone played a thug harassing Woody on the subway in BANANAS.
