''Ants in the Plants'' is a 7:28-minute 35mm Technicolor (Three-Strip) cartoon created by Fleischer Studios and originally released into theaters March 15, 1940 by Paramount Studios. It was produced by Max Fleischer and directed by Dave Fleischer; animators were Myron Waldman and George Moreno. Music for the cartoon was composed by Sammy Timberg.〔(Ants In The Plants Cast & Crew List at Big Cartoon DataBase )〕〔 It was part of the Fleisher Studios' series Color Classics produced by the studio between 1934 and 1941.〔(Color Classics Theatrical Cartoon List at Big Cartoon DataBase )〕 All 36 cartoons were released in 2003 on the DVD ''Somewhere In Dreamland: The Max Fleischer Color Classics''.〔Treadway, Bill (2003). Review for ''Somewhere in Dreamland: The Max Fleischer Color Classics'' DVD (). Retrieved March 8, 2013.〕 The plot involves a wicked anteater who is a constant threat to an ant colony. The ants have been warned by their queen ant to prepare for an attack by this long-time enemy; she says to them: "He's a menace, he's a brute, he will scoop you with his snoot".〔(Ants In The Plants Synopsis ) Big Cartoon DataBase〕 Therefore, they are expecting the assault and have focused on a military defense, such as preparing fortifications, compiling munitions in their fortress and generally becoming ready for war.〔 Their plan for the anteater's impending invasion is "make him yell uncle".〔 The military units of the ants are led by the queen ant who rides a snail. But the anteater takes many ant casualties, forcing the ant colony to rethink its strategy. Ultimately the ants decide to abandon their modern military tactics and, resorting to the "Sewer Side Squad", they wrathfully swarm the anteater.〔 The cartoon's emphasis on preparedness for war and tactics of armament has led to its being characterized as a "war allegory", the only one of the 10 cartoons released in 1940 that is considered war-related and called thus, because of its militaristic tone.〔 Since it was released during the Phoney War, some have speculated that it refers to France's Maginot Line. One reviewer of ''Ants in the Plants'' said: "Life in the village of the ants. Impressive cartoon with great battle scenes." However, another considers it "painfully unfunny". == References ==
