This is partially TruthInTelevision though, when a person is pulled out of the water the first thing you're supposed to do is give rescue breaths to stimulate a response to get them to cough the water out.

** The praying mantis is missing the three small eyes it should have in the middle of its forehead.
** Chip is depicted with a stinger, despite being a male wasp. A wasp's stinger is evolved from the ovipositor, the siphon-like organ used by most insects for depositing eggs, and therefore male wasps cannot have them.

''Antz'' is a [[AllCGICartoon computer-animated film]] created by Creator/DreamWorks [[Creator/DreamWorksSKG DreamWorks Pictures]] in 1998, the first feature film by Creator/DreamWorksAnimation and the third feature-length CGI movie ever released (after ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' and the Brazilian movie ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassiopeia_(film) Cassiopéia]]''). Most of the time, if someone mentions it, they're either [[DuelingMovies comparing it]] or [[AllAnimationIsDisney confusing it]] with Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', and fair enough, both are computer-animated films about insects released in 1998.

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: It seems outlandish to portray ants drinking fluid from the orifices of other insects (aphids). They actually do.

* ParentsSuckAtMatchmaking: Princess Bala is not comfortable with her engagement to General Mandible, since they have nothing in common and her attempts to be amicable are met with indifference. Her mother, however, insists that, deep down, he cares about Bala because he was "very persistent" on asking her hand. [[spoiler:It is revealed that the General cares only about Bala to spawn a new generation of ants after he drowns what he sees as "the weak elements of the colony" (read, the working class). The Queen ends up supporting her daughter against him after she learns about the genocidal monster he is.]]

* UnpleasantAnimalCounterpart: The termites are painted as the unpleasant counterpart of ants. The ants are portrayed as highly anthropomorphic and intelligent, the termites are monstrous creatures with jaws full of sharp teeth and showing no sign of intelligence. However, some dialogue implies that the termites are more intelligent than they seem, and the BigBad of the movie is an evil ant military commander.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Z, Weaver, Mandible, Bala, Cutter, Barbatus, Azteca... no-one here has a normal name. Weaver, Bala, Barbatus and Azteca are the names of [[PunnyName species of ants]]. Cutter probably refers to leafcutter ants, and Mandible's name in prior versions of the script was Formica (another species).
