Review:
This animated movie stars the voices of Jerry Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger, Chris Rock, John Goodman and Oprah. Barry Benson is a bee that wants to leave the hive and see the world. When he graduates from Bee College, he learns that he must pick a job in the hive and work for the rest of his life. He wants to make his own choices. He leaves the hive and after almost getting killed, he talks to the human that saved him. They become friends. One day, they go to the grocery store and Barry sees hundreds of jars of honey being sold for humans. He is very upset and decides to sue the human race for stealing honey. The movie is well animated but the dialogue is not consistently funny enough. The main voices of Seinfeld and Zellweger are well done but the characters do not capture our emotions. The plot and fast paced dialogue could be hard to follow for very young children. I would recommend this movie to children 6 and older. What does Barry learn about making his own choices and working with a group?
