The new uprising happens due to colony growth. Now Flik, Atta, and the rest of the team all have to work together to help make Atta the new Queen. Princess Atta is next in line, but we learn there is an uprising of a new potential queen. Since embracing the inventions of Flik the colony has grown more than ever and is easily 10 times the size of where we left off. I reckon Pixar and Dreamworks almost sued each other over their similar movies while they both got the idea from someone else.Įasy follow up. The illustrator of Werber's books - Guillaume Aretos - actually ended up being an artistic director on Antz (and then made a whole career in Dreamworks).
ANTZ BALL TV
This is all according to the Author but he told the story on TV a couple of times so he must be quite confident he can back it up, and he has proudly saved his correspondance with Spielberg. Werber was told by Dreamworks that "he wouldn't be able to afford the lawsuit". In the end they kept the ideas but did not pay him anything. Then Katzenberg moved to Dreamworks and kept working on the adaptation with Spielberg who discussed directly with Werber. It started with Jeffrey Katzenberg approaching Bernard Werber with the idea to adapt his book when he was working in Pixar (and so Bug's Life was born! but Bugs' Life differed substantially from the book, which can't be said of Antz). Antz took its story from the first book (Empire of the Ants). Each book has a human & ant storyline (which ends up meeting in odd ways). They were best sellers in and outside France (translated in more than 30 languages but not big in the US).
Antz is a plagiat of heavily inspired by an early 90s book trilogy, The Ants by French author Bernard Werber.
