This highly imaginative and colorful cartoon was released in
March 1940 by Max and Dave Fleischer. It is a glimpse into the lives of the
hardest working insects on the planet; ants. Highly organized and motivated,
these little fellows can do more work; and even more damage; to anything they
set their little minds upon.
In this tale, the ants are gathered in school and taught
about the dangers lurking in the world they inhabit. Chief amongst their
concerns are, of course, ant eaters. The ants even have an early warning system
in the event of a sudden attack by their natural predator.
A fun cartoon with a little bit of a lesson to it. This
cartoon came out in the last days of the Great Depression, and when viewed in
that light, the lessons are obvious; stick together and work hard, battling
your common enemies. It’s the only way to survive.
