A much better fictional view of ant society can be found in T. H. White’s “The Once and Future King.” At one point, Merlin transforms Arthur into an ant so that the latter could experience their system. The mindless collectivism of the ants, and Arthur’s horror at it, were both well described.
I suppose, however, it’s not as easy to introduce children, or perhaps even some adults, to those of works as it is to invite them to a movie.
What you should be watching is the far superior message (and animation) from Pixar’s “Bug’s Life”. In that story, the individual member of the ant colony with ideas, ingenuity and adventurous spirit leads the colony to revolt against the oppressive grasshoppers. An absolutely briliant take on the “Ant and the Grasshopper” story. Pixar never dissappoints and you can bet that my kids have it memorized!
