Bee Movie (DVD)

...not to go and see Bee movie following my disappointment in a number of animated features recently. However, the power of a three year old is strong and my will just wasn't strong enough. Grudgingly, along with my son and hid Daddy I headed off for the cinema to sit through an hour and a half of what I expected to be yellow and black animated slap stick humour. Writers: Jerry Seinfield and Spike Feresten Directors: Steve Hickner and Simon J Smith ...

One day, Barry is given a rare opportunity to join the revered pollen collectors on an excursion outside the sticky hive walls, however the adventure soon turns into a life-threatening experience and he is only saved when New York florist Vanessa steps in to defend him from the shoe aimed at him from above.

Review of Bee Movie (DVD)

...pleased to see adverts for Bee Movie - it just looked so cute, of course I had to give it a try! In case you couldn't guess from the title, Bee Movie is based around, well, bees. More specifically, it is about a young bee called Barry who just can't decide what he wants to do with his life. It is traditional for all of the bees to only work in one job for their entire life, and he just can't choose which area is right for him. He decides to give ...

And, somewhat oddly, he ends up falling in love with her. He begins to visit her frequently and accompanies her on trips. Until he visits the supermarket with her, discovers that honey is for sale, and then attempts to sue the human race for stealing honey from bees. Think that's long winded? ...

Review of Bee Movie (DVD)

Bee Movie is one of the newest in a string of modern computer animated movies. Born from the comic genius that is Jerry Seinfeld (producer, director, actor) it is unlike the other films in the genre due to the slightly odd sense of humour we've come to expect from him. The synopsis Barry Benson is not your average Bee. Unlike his family and friends, he doesn't want to be a anonymous worker stuck in the same mundane job for the rest of his life. ...
...to break the most important Bee rule - Never speak to humans. Barry tells Vanessa how grateful he is for her saving his life. Vanessa after being intially stunned makes them a cup of coffee and some cake and they talk for hours. It seems Barry is falling for Vanessa (a bee and a human - strange, strange, strange!) and when they start spending more time together, he discovers that humans eat honey. Barry knows how hard Bees have to work for the little ...

...B Benson is a humble bee with wider aspirations than working in the hive making honey. He wants to get out and see the world. When he finally makes it out of the colony, he meets human Manhattan florist Vanessa and breaks one of the cardinal rules and talks to her. A friendship develops between them and Barry learns all about the human race. But he discovers an unpleasant truth on a trip to the supermarket when he finds out humans have been stealing ...
...work because some of the bee characters don't follow the trend. The problems with the direction don't stop with the animation though. There are serious issues with pacing and tone. There aren't enough jokes to go round and the sight gags are limited to the obvious, such as a lawyer's car with the number-plate "ALIBUY" and riffs on American popular culture like Larry King. I think the problem comes in their use of big name voice casts. It's an unnecessary ...

Review of Bee Movie (DVD)

...in animated cinema, but in Bee Movie, written by comedy giant Jerry Seinfeld, one is driven to ask – is this one step too far? Bee Movie is essentially an allegory of the drudgery of human existence, namely as it pertains to one’s working life. Our protagonist, Barry Benson (Jerry Seinfeld), a bee, has recently graduated and become disenfranchised with the idea of making honey for the rest of his life. Through a series of events, Benson comes to ...
...the ankle-biting target audience. Bee Movie also employs a rather strange means of character modelling – the bee characters resemble human beings more than in any other film such as this, with even their skin tones closely resembling the white cross-section of society. When you combine this with the fact that the bees drive cars to work, it would at times become easy to forget that this is even a film about insects. As questionable as the film’s ...

...drawing) of life as a bee here.I was amazed at how realistic a job they have done of creating a film about a Bee. This is a story that has never been touched before and Dreamworks have done a fantastic job in animating this film. The storyline is of a Bee who falls in love with a human after she saves him from being swatted, this sets off a chain of reaction which ends up with the main character taking the Human Race to court for stealing honey. ...
...didn't do their job. Bee Movie offers a never before seen journey into the heart of a bee hive and shows what life for a bee is like, from a cartoon angle. To be honest I'm sure its not like this, but who cares. I found this a throughly enjoyable movie and anticipate watching it again and again - this is definitely one for any film lovers' shelf. It has all the makings of a great movie good characters, great interaction, good follow through with ...

...like this film!!! Bee Movie is well about Bees, who knew such a funny film could be made about bees, those honey making black and yellow flies!!!! Barry the Bee (Jerry Seinfield) escapes from his hive, where he gets into a spot of trouble, when a human almost kills him and his wife Vanessa saves him, he gets an unhealthy obsession with speaking to her, but its against Bee law. But when he does pluck up the courage to speak to the human, Vanessa (Renee ...
...husband! Can Barry and his bee colony stop the humans from stealing the honey!? This film is very very funny, even if it is about a strange storyline!!!! What I love about all Dreamworks films is that they are made for both adults and children, some of the humour in the film is for adults, which will allow adults to enjoy the film, but also is funny and good for children! If you liked other Dreamworks films like Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, Flushed ...

...story tells of Barry the Bee who is just not satisfied at the thought of having to work one job in the bee hive for the rest of his life so he goes out of the hive before he commits to anything. During his little 'explore' he almost gets squatted by a guy but a very nice woman saves him. Now being the kind cap that he is, he doesn't want to leave without saying thank you. This is the start of a strange but sweet relationship between Barry the bee ...
...stealing the honey the bees make and with the help of Melanie they set out to sue the human race. The thing about this animation is there is a lot of funny lines sprouting out every second which really gets you laughing. It does tend to go over Noah's head and he catches the more obvious funny bits but there are definitely a lot of parts thrown in there purely for the adults who get dragged along to see it with their brood. I love the fact that the ...

...them watching this movie. Bee Movie looks pretty but is incredibly low on plot and storyline. Take the idea that a bee (called Barry) whose just graduated (with a very weak joke about the shortness of the bee lifestyle) and is about to choose his job and place in life but decides he's unhappy with his life. But hang on! He HASN'T even GOT a life yet! So how can he be unhappy with it? Nope, he's unhappy at the prospect of his life. So big deal, so ...
...So Barry goes out with the fliers, sees the outside would and meets and is saved by a human who he talks to breaking 25 million years of tradition. Hmmm, with all that length of tradition you'd think it'd been done before but just never spoken about again, no? Anyway, his life of leisure finally leads him to discover how humans eat and take honey from bees and he's annoyed and decides to sue. A ridiculous concept, no court on the planet would accept ...

...become one of my favourite animations and I was correct, however it was quite enjoyable. The movie is very colourful from start to finsish, always good in a movie I feel. Of course the movie is mainly aimed at kids and the bright colours help to keep their interest, but I felt that most of the jokes were audible, mainly based on nice plays with words instead of visual gags. So in that sense I think that it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The ...

This could turn out to Bee one of my favourite movies! Bee movie offers a little something for all ages in your family, from your 1 year old to your great nanny. It has a mixture of some slapstick comedy to a few more subtle jokes for the older viewer. Jerry Seinfeld voices the part of the main character perfectly, with great comedic timing, and a wonderful relationship with Renee Zellweger which nobody could beelieve possible. This film gives great ...

So he sets off one day with the pollen jocks and discovers the big wide world outside the hive where he meets Vanessa (voiced by Renee Zellwegger) who saves his life and changes it forever too. The quality of the animation is brilliant but then all Dreamworks films are, the scale ratio is perfect, when Vanessa is ...

The film has several laugh out loud moments but it isn't the funniest childrens movie i have ever watched, my favourite line was at the end by Mooseblood the Mosquito (Chris Rock) which had me in stitches. Cow: You're a lawyer too? Mooseblood: Ma'am, I was already a bloodsucking parasite. All I needed was a briefcase! My favourite character in the film was Vanessa's boyfriend Ken who is extremely ...
