Ant City
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Depicts ants as social creatures living in complex societies. Shows ways they control their environment.; Ken Smith sez: This is probably the most genuinely entertaining of all the John Kieran's Kaleidoscope films. The poor ants are anthropomorphised to the nth degree, we even hear The Wedding March when the queen and her drone fly away from the nest. Kieran's patter has never been more meandering, he sounds like a befuddled uncle narrating home movies. Clumsy but enjoyable.; PESTILENCE (ANTS); VS of ants; Building and repairing their city.; Birthing of grub.; Mating with queen.; Attacking a caterpillar.
