Basic Trope: Ants are some of the nicest insects around.

  • Straight: In the Insect Kingdom, ants are some of the nicest creatures around.
  • Exaggerated: Ants are constantly victimized by literally all other insect species because they're too trusting.
  • Downplayed: Alice the Ant is the nicest of the main characters, but no other ants are shown so it's unclear whether this is a character trait or a species trait.
  • Justified: ???
  • Inverted: Hordes of ants hunt down other insects and pillage their colonies just for sport.
  • Subverted: Alice the Ant is the nicest of the main characters, but when they visit an ant colony they find out all other ants are jerks.
  • Double Subverted: ...but they only act this way because they've been taught not to trust anyone after cockroaches rampaged their lands.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: There are no ants in the work.
  • Enforced: The movie gets most of its funding from an ant-advocating NPO.
  • Lampshaded: "Does every ant in this kingdom act like a sweet old grandma?"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: Aaron the Ant is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, but because everyone thinks that ants are nice, they fall for his underhanded tactics.
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
