Killer Bees

April 7th, 2008 Emile

I was recently given the opportunity to review Bee Movie. I was actually pretty excited to check this out since I am a huge fan of Seinfeld. In fact, I just spent the last month or so rewatching the first 6 seasons (now don’t give me crap about that, my outdoorzy activities don’t get started till they get the volleyball nets up…which just happened this weekend).

Even though I like Seinfeld, I am normally not a huge fan of cartoon movies. I was actually pleasantly surprised with this one though. The animation was fantastic. It is really surprising to me how easily it is now to get engulfed in animated movie and forget that you are watching a cartoon. The characters were actually drawn with the mannerisms of the voice actors playing them. The cast was pretty star studded as well, Renee Zellwegger, Oprah, John Goodman, Puddy.

The gist of the movie is that Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) has just graduated and is not wanting the follow the status quo of becoming a worker inside the hive. He eventually heads out and then falls in love with a human, finds other bees that make honey for humans, goes to court, which as you can guess leads to lots of shenanigans and goings on. I don’t want to ruin it for you, but oh the hilarity does ensue.

Overall I would give this movie an 8. Remember this is an 8 for overall cuteness and “fun to watch”-ability. If you like Seinfeld and his type of humor and wit, you will like Bee Movie.
