The Ant Bully DVD easter egg is a hidden five-minute featurette created by the film’s animators. The video is not listed in the DVD extras, but it can be accessed through a hidden menu icon.

How to Access the Hidden Feature
- Open the Features menu on the DVD.
- Highlight “Ant Habitat.”

- Press Enter.
Selecting the Bunsen burner icon starts the hidden featurette.
What the Featurette Contains
The video appears to be informal footage created by members of the animation team. It includes several short segments produced during the film’s development.
The clips include:
- An ant parody inspired by The Matrix
- Ants performing a water ballet
- A wizard-style ant inspired by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
- Animators creating animations of other animators
The footage has a rough, informal style and looks like internal studio material rather than a polished promotional extra. It is one of my favorite easter eggs.
