action

The drone Barry B. Benson has just completed his college education and stands before entry into professional life. The only job he can take up is work in the Honex honey factory. However, since Barry doesn't want to work there all his life, he leaves the beehive to explore the world. There he breaks the iron command of silence towards people by befriending the florist Vanessa.

From her he learns that for centuries people have been eating the honey that bees have to work so hard for. With Vanessa's help, he successfully sues the honey producers. As a result, the bees suddenly have an immense excess of honey and stop working. This, in turn, leads to the fact that the flowers are not pollinated and almost die out.

Barry succeeds in convincing the bees of the great importance of their work. He eventually settles in Vanessa's florist where he opens a law firm.

Reviews

“It's about the responsible handling and harmony with nature, about the coexistence of animals and people, about moral courage and self-belief. All of these topics have been dealt with in a child-friendly manner and, loosened up with puns and some nice ideas, result in an entertaining children's film - what it lacks, however, is the charm that really brings the characters to life, the necessary freedom to evoke sympathy for the characters, and the Ability to draw the viewer emotionally into the story. "

- Mike Beilfuß : film service

“It's just a shame that the promotional campaigns in retrospect turn out to be a lot of buzz for nothing: The end result from DreamWorks is nicely animated and narrated quickly, also comes up with a few well-placed slapstick gags and pithy slogans, but it is On the whole disappointing hand-tame and a bit too, pardon, sweet. Conclusion: Despite comedian Jerry Seinfeld without a sting: "Bee Movie" is all too honey-sweet family entertainment. "

“The animated film, which focuses on speed and action, evokes harmony with nature, self-confidence and moral courage, but unfolds little charm. He reconciles with a rich palette full of sensitively coordinated colors, but the over-presence of the main character, who is constantly chattering, tarnishes the conversation. "

The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
