I'm curious about something.
The movie was rated PG for "Mild Language and Mencaing Action".
There is a point where Z tells Bala that he was going to let Bala be part of his most erotic fantasies.
Now I'm pretty sure that erotic is not *profane*, but does the way that the word is used make it part of the "mild language" that gave the movie its PG rating?
Yes. Weaver also says "Bitching," at one point in the film.
shareYeah. Before I saw the movie, I read reviews that said someone in the movie would say that, but I hoped that it was a lie.
shareI guess they made him say "bitching" for the parents? Weaver easily could have said "moaning" or "complaining".
The kids probably didn't understand it, anyway.

I was SHOCKED by the language and situations in this movie! I run a before-school program and showed this film as a treat to the kids... I am no prude, but was embarassed by some of the scenes in this movie - I was watching it with other people's kids for crying out loud! I guess I better stick to G from now on. Live and learn, I guess...

The princess also yells through the door that she is a "damn" princess.
I'm pretty sure it says damn in there earlier in the movie too. (I just watched it)
I didn't even look at the rating, I assumed it was okay, cause it looked like it was for kids. My daughter is only a year old, but it was shocking to hear that. Those words stuck out pretty badly like if someone said it in church. I'd hate to host this movie for someone elses kids! I'd prolly turn it off.
I think it's awesome! The thing that freaks me out are the ants!! I MEAN! THEY ARE TOTALLY SCARY!
shareLike a lot of other Dreamworks animted movies, Antz has some bad lanuage in it, and yes for some odd reason, that unlike Disney movies, there is lanuage that gets thrown into the scripts of animated movies, with maybe a few of them that don't. Most of the Dreamworks animated movies are PG rated, the only one that I can think of, off the top of my head that is G rated is Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
shareAnd when Z sees a penny with Lincoln on it he goes "Who the hell is that?"

Here is another good expmple of the lanauge that is in this movie, it seems to me that if you don't want your really young kids, picking up volubary words like this, is you don't let them watch Dreamworks animated movies like this one. Now there is something that you won't see in a Disney animated feature a lot of the time, is when a chacter sees a famous peron's picture somewhere and then goes "who the hell is that". The one Disney mmovie that would be questionanle will be the Hunchback of Notre Dame, where there are some swear words appears in the hero's alphabet. But evne still that film got a G rating from the critics.
shareThis movie had the word 'anus' in it. And also 'capitulating'...
shareCapitulating means to "give in/up". Its not really a bad word.

You know, this is one of the main reason animation has made little progress in five decades. Will you people ever let us have anything anymore? I mean jeez, I didn't realize this was a pruder's convention.

Nor is anus.
I am Jack's IMDb post.share
Erotic is definitly not the word that got this movie the rating. They also say; bitching, ass, bastard, damn and hell.
Not the worst words out there, but not G rated material.
"Marco?" "Polo, Mr Matthews. Polo."
