My kids loved this movie and so did my niece. It entertained them the whole time. And, I didn't mind it either. They liked it so much that I took them back to watch it again another time and they got the bee figurines from the shop. And now, they are very interested in bees. My kids are 2 & 4 years old and my niece is 7.
This is a nice little movie that will entertain the kids & you fine. Like most animated kid's movies it's bright and visually entertaining, takes you to another world, there's a main character with plenty of heart, it's funny and there's a few messages in there too that go something along the lines of "give everyone a chance even if they are different to you", "careful of what you wish for" and "take responsibility and do something about it when you realise that you've made a mistake". It also has some standout cameos by Ray Liotta and Chris Rock. There's plenty of Jerry Seinfeld humour and he does a good job in his lead role. Actually, all the main characters are all likable and the actors behind them do a good job. This movie has something for the kids and something for the adults.
Don't listen to the critics. The movie does what it's designed to do. It may not do it better than all the rest and it may at times seem unoriginal (to adults). But, if you take it on it's own merits and don't take it too seriously when you watch it then you won't be disappointed. My kids found it fascinating and I found it easy to watch. When it comes out on DVD I will be buying it. And, I'm sure it will come in handy on more than one occasion.
