BEE MOVIE Film Review - 30/12/07

Dreamworks Animation pulls another duffer out of the bag as Jerry Seinfeld's original piss-take adverts for this were live-action and then they "pretended" to switch to animation for the film. I think Jerry's original premise would be fair funnier than this dire cartoon epic. After the handful of funny one-liners run out this particular piece runs out of steam completely and gets so out of control it couldn't even keep the attention of a 4-year old (and that is true as we had one wandering up and down the cinema aisles; in and out of the seating mumbling to herself, and singing away with total disinterest in the film). You cannot fault the intense and colourful animation and the voice talent on display here - it's the subject matter that is the problem. I would treat this as amusing for about 10 minutes then dull for the next 80 or so.

A bee get's fed up of his life in the hive and goes outside and makes friends with a florist then finds out humans eat honey and decides to sue the human race. Much hilarity ensues - HA! HA!
