13 Movie Scenes Everyone Misunderstood As Kids

3. Any Woody Allen Monologue - Antz

What Kids See: Probably not a lot, to be honest. A neurotic, nervous ant who talks too much?

The Reality: Here's an animated movie that proves much more entertaining for adults than kids: the bizarre choice to cast Woody Allen as protagonist Z likely isn't so fruitful for youngsters, yet for adults, namely fans of Allen's, it's a hilarious, movie-long reference to the famously neurotic characters he has played in his own movies over the decades.

Take the movie's opening monologue on a psychiatrist's couch, in which Z begins with the following:

"All my life I've lived and worked in the big city, which now that I think of it, is a problem since I always feel uncomfortable around crowds. I mean it I have this fear of enclosed spaces, everything makes me feel trapped all the time. You know I always tell my self there's got to be something better out there, but maybe I think to much. I think everything must go back to the fact that I had a very anxious childhood, you know my mother never had time for me. You know when your a middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention, I mean how's it possible?"

This incredibly Allen-esque speech goes on for considerably longer and there are several of them throughout the movie, perfectly tailored to the writer-director-actor's dialogue style, such that adults will absolutely have a hoot with it, though kids may simply find these scenes a little overbearing and wordy (hence why critics loved Antz but it got trounced by A Bug's Life at the box office).
