Antz does have places that resemble a vintage Media Venture score, but some of its styles are quite fresh and unique. The disc opens with a very gentle version of Z's Theme, which is probably the most serious theme in the score. It is a little glorious and have a larger than life feel. It is a good theme and you will hear more variations of it. It appears in a more orchestrated form is "There Is A Better Place..." Then, it comes one of the most enjoyable cue "The Colony." It is an extremely playful and catchy mambo tune. Using whistling sound as an major instrument is a very smart idea and extremely effective. It sounds like "zounds of antz just foolishly charging toward you." The same technique is also employed in some other tracks. Then we hear the villain theme in "General Mandible," one of the few serious tracks. The theme is also effective and enjoyable and is used as the battle theme in "The Antz Go Marching To War". Then, we have two more bouncy and playful tracks, "The Bar" and "Guantanamera/6:15 Time to Dance." These two pieces are crucial to the movie because the ants dance to those music. Other than the playful music, there are also love tunes like the jazzy "Weaver and Azteca Flirt" and "Romance In Insectopia", highly enjoyable intense action cues like "The Magnifying Glass" and "The Big Shoe." Of course, those action moments are the times that you can tell it is a Media Venture score. (By the way, some moments in "The Big Shoe" sound like Basil Poledouris' Starship Troopers.)
