Each film describes the adventures of a nonconformist ant who, because of his differences from other ants, is able to save the colony.
The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to Antz and A Bug's Life will help teach lessons in the value of nonconformity and friendship and to interest children in the study of ants.
Each movie has a different focus and Antz is better for older children. However, both of them, supplemented with the information and techniques described in the TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide will provide a unique learning experience.
