I saw this movie in 5th grade, and am a huge musical theatre fan. How funny would this be as a musical? I'd love to do it in a Little Shopesque sort-of way..

Musical, BLASPHEMY! You need to be burned at the stake, lest your perveted idea take root in the mind of some foolish Bean Counter, bent on yet another bad sequel.

Great Idea! They could do a number with the cast in the foreground singing "Make me a Sgt. in charge of the Booze" and several giant Ants behind them providing "background" music with that sound they make when they're communicating with each other. And it could be sponsored by Raid!

I like it!
How about we follow it with a musical about a giant gorilla?
(We could call it "The Kong and I".)

There's already been a musical about a Kong-like character who climbs a skyscraper in New York. It was called Ape Over Broadway. I swear!

Here's a sequel for another series; a musical about the oldest shark ever captured: "GUMS"

Fess Parker delivering his line, with the rest of the cast as choir, and the ants, again, with their sound:

"Scared me right outta mah pants!"

"OhhHHHhh those ants!
OhhHHHhh those ants!
OhhHHHhh THOse ants!"

To the tune of Hungarian Rhapsody:

Run away the ants are coming
Get away the ants are coming
They are coming
They are coming
Eating, killing,
Flying, crawiling
Cities crumble
Buildings falling

T-H
E-M
The Ants -THEM!

"Everyone know an ant can't
Move a rubber-tree plant!"
