Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Ken confronts Barry in the bathroom, he rolls up a magazine. Barry asks what type of magazine it is, and Ken replies, "Italian Vogue". But it clearly says Paris on the front.

Silly with an Absurd Storyline

When the bee Barry B. Benson graduates from college, he finds that will have only one job for his entire life, and absolutely disappointed, he joins the team responsible for bringing the honey and pollination of the flowers to visit the world outside the hive. Once in Manhattan, he is saved by the florist Vanessa and he breaks the bee law to thank Vanessa. The become friends and Barry discovers that humans explore bees to sell the honey they produce. Barry decides to sue the human race, with destructive consequences to nature.

"Bee Movie" has a great animation, but unfortunately is silly with an absurd storyline. I do not understand what the writer might have in his mind with such lack of message; maybe a child could have written a better and more intelligent plot. The lead character in funny but has an annoying voice. I love animations, especially those with good messages. However, is so inaccurate and stupid that even for children I believe this movie does not work well. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Bee Movie – A História de Uma Abelha" ("Bee Movie – The Story of a Bee")
