Screenshot of a quote, "You let one ant stand up to us, and they all might stand up! Those “puny little ants” outnumber us a hundred to one. And if we ever let them figure that out… THERE GOES OUR WAY OF LIFE! It’s not about food. It’s about keeping those ants in line.

    Another animated movie, Antz, was released the same year:

    Worker Ant: A worker? That's impossible. A worker can't do anything, except work.
Female Ant: Yeah. It's not like we got a choice.
Azteca: We do have a choice. [...]
Worker Ant: Wait a second. You're tellin' me, I don't have to be here?
Female Ant: We've got a choice?
Worker Ant: The authorities don't want you to know, but 
we don't have to work on the tunnel any more.
Worker Ant: It's the workers who control the means of production.

    Yeah, billionaires figured out that if they make entertainment that appeals to our morals it gives us an outlet and we’re less likely to rebel.

    They turned revolution into bread and circuses.
