What a delightful, adult-oriented, animated movie. Bee Movie stars the voices of Jerry Seinfeld (as Barry B. Benson) and Renee Zellweger (as Vanessa Bloom, the adult who stumbles across Barry) and has cameos by oodles of others - Sting, Larry King, Ray Liotta and Chris Rock (to name a few). Barry, recently graduated from Bee School and faced with entering the colony for a life of drudgery, opts instead to join the Pollinator bees on a venture outside the hive. Predictably, Barry gets lost and ends up meeting, and - breaking Golden Bee Rule Number 1 - speaking to a human, Vanessa. When he realizes humans are more or less 'stealing' honey, Barry opts to file a class action lawsuit. With gorgeous animation, lots of laughs and a subtlety that speaks to human consumption, greed, and environmental issues, Bee Movie delivers the goods.
My rating 8 out of 10.
