Review of Bee Movie

Bee Movie (2007)
Heart warming and fun
9 February 2008
This film is about a bee breaking the traditions by not following the footsteps of all the other bees in the past 27 million years. He sets out to sue humans for stealing honey, with disastrous results.

I was very entertained by "Bee Movie", and I was surprised by all the negativity in the comments. I thought the animation was fantastic. The bees are cute and lovely, and the way Barry got ready to go out in the beginning is a joy to watch. I particularly liked the introduction around the hive. The colours were uplifting, and the mechanical machines in the hive. I felt as if I was really flying from a bee' perspective. And to look at the world with a bee's perspective is interesting. I also liked the morals of the story, especially Vanessa's line about all lives are equal. The subtle message about working hard (for 27 million years) to kids is not very attractive, but it is so subtle that I can live with it.

I find "Bee Movie" heart warming and fun. Some lines are really funny, such as the final line about lawyers. The mobile phone with antennae is a great idea as well. I think "Bee Movie" is a great escape back to the child inside you.
