Bee Movie

 

Touted as Jerry Seinfeld's first major project since the 1998 end of his long-running eponymous TV series, 2007's computer-animated BEE MOVIE stars the popular comedian as the... more...voice of Barry B. Benson, a young bee eager to explore the world outside of his hive. As he discovers how people live in New York City, he befriends a human florist, Vanessa Bloome (Renee Zellweger), and becomes outraged at the selling of honey, leading to a lawsuit and, of course, plenty of Seinfeldian misadventures. Helmed by directors Steve Hickner (THE PRINCE OF EGYPT) and Simon J. Smith (a member of the SHREK creative team), BEE MOVIE lightens Seinfeld's notoriously stinging humor for a family audience, while staying true to its inherent New York-bred quirkiness. This leaves room for the film to feature impressive (if anatomically incorrect) bug-oriented CGI animation and a solid supporting cast that includes Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Chris Rock, and Ray Liotta (who plays a honey-peddling animated version of himself). Although it inhabits some of the same insect-populated territory as A BUG's LIFE and ANTZ, BEE MOVIE also nods to THE GRADUATE (admittedly a Seinfeld favorite) in its restless protagonist, resulting in a playful and thoroughly entertaining film that even manages to work an environmental message into its colorful palette.

I hesitated with watching this movie because by the looks of it i thought it will be a movie for children only.

It was only later on that I realized that this movie was written by Jerry Seinfeld and that it really should be a fun movie to watch.

So I first borrowed the movie (better safe than sorry) and gave it a go.

The movie presents us the way on how bees work, what they do in their social life and how do they get their jobs. The bee Barry B. Benson (voice by Jerry Seinfeld) is the lead character in this movie and he just steps into the adulthood in the begining of the movie. Still young at heart he decides to get something more out of his life. And the simple words like thank you will make him break the bee laws.

This movie was, against my first thoughts, really full of laughter. I really enjoyed it and even more because of great voices selection (J. Seinfeld and R. Zellweger). The animation is in 3D but has that cartoonish style, the characters are not realistic. But animations are really great.

I recommend this one, really.

And also by my opinion this one has a really good moral, which went a little bit further than in most movies; fight for what you believe is right, but also consider what can be the consequences of your actions.
