Antz is a 1998 American computer-animated adventure comedy film directed by Eric Darnell and Tim Johnson and written by Paul Weitz, Chris Weitz, and Todd Alcott. The film stars Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Jennifer Lopez, Sylvester Stallone, Christopher Walken, Dan Aykroyd, Anne Bancroft, Danny Glover and Gene Hackman. Some of the main characters share facial similarities with the actors who voice them.^[10] Antz is DreamWorks Pictures' first animated film, and the third feature-length computer-animated film after Disney/Pixar's Toy Story, and NDR Filmes' Cassiopeia.

The film's production resulted in a controversial public feud between DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steve Jobs, and John Lasseter of Pixar, concerning the parallel productions of this film and Pixar's A Bug's Life. This only worsened when Disney refused to avoid competition with DreamWorks' intended first animated release, The Prince of Egypt (1998).

A Z, a hangya (eredeti cím: Ant Z) 1998-ban bemutatott DreamWorks legelső, egész estés számítógépes animációs filmje. A film főszereplői olyan sztárok hangján szólalnak meg, mint Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone, Jennifer Lopez, Gene Hackman, Christopher Walken, Danny Glover, Jennifer Seguin és Johnny Depp. A film animációs film létére szokatlanul felnőttes hangvételű, olyan problémákkal foglalkozik, mint a diktatúra és a háború. Egyes értelmezések szerint a hangyaboly Kuba, míg Rovarkánaán az Egyesült Államok allegóriája. A film hat héttel korábban került a mozikba a Disney Egy bogár életecímű, szintén hangyákról szóló filmje előtt és ez utóbbi sikeresebb lett. Ugyanakkor egyik első példája volt a Disney–DreamWorks versengésnek, amelynek köszönhetően létrejött a Cápamese, a Madagaszkárra való válaszként pedig a Vadkaland.
