Bee Movie (2007)



Bee Movie (2007) Movie Review

Bee Movie may not be the best animated feature to be release this year but it does offer pretty good entertainment. This movie is Jerry Seinfeld creative entry to the animation business and I suppose expectations have been high that he would deliver something similar like this TV sitcom.

Bee Movie (2007)movie poster | DVD movie review pictureThe DreamWorks' Bee Movie takes you into the high flying world of bees. You will also love the more positive and motivated attitudes of the lead character Barry (voiced by Jerry Seinfeld).

Animation fans may object to the highly simplified stick design of the bees which is reminiscent of Toy Story. However, the CGI's multi-dimensional fantasy background looks very realistic. The faces of bee characters look like very good caricatures of the actors. There are also wonderful cameo of TV personalities like Oprah, Larry King etc.

The Bee Movie story teaches us to explore the world before we make a career choice. To fight big corporations, no matter what the odds are. About never being afraid of making friends. And if we create a ecological mess, we should clean it up ourselves rather than waiting for others to do the job for you.

Jokes about being small, being exploited, about blood sucking lawyers etc and of course bee and sting jokes and puns are great.

There are two memorable bee songs namely, one by my favorite insect band, the Beatles with their fabulous "Hear Comes the Sun" and TV Cartoon band, the Archies' with their catchy song "Sugar Sugar".

Bee Movie is suitable for children:

Bee Movie is rated PG for mild suggestive humor. One or two jokes that seem to vaguely reference drug abuse when a mosquito character says that drinking blood "makes him crazy." A handful of sexual euphemisms may go over the heads of children, but some may not. The most explicit joke is when someone refers to Barry as Vanessa's "bed bug." There are some references of cross species relationships which may confuse the younger viewers.
