| Bee Movie, 2007 |
Barry B. Benson (voice of Jerry Seinfeld) is your average honeybee. Despite having recently received his diploma from bee college and being virtually guaranteed a bright future in honey, Barry feels he has the skills to pursue a number of different career paths and resents the fact that his employment opportunities are strictly limited to producing the sweet nectar. Upon breaking away from the hive and developing a friendship with an insect-loving New York florist (voice of Renée Zellweger), Barry makes the shocking discovery that human beings eat honey in mass quantities. Having finally found his calling in life, the infuriated Barry decides to sue the human race for stealing all of the honey that his fellow bees work so hard to produce.The story of Bee Movie is so naïve and not good enough to be thought intelligent even to a kid. While I praise for the imagination put on this film the story is too absurd to think about. The first act of the film introducing the bee society was well done. The animation done during the first part of the movie was impressive.
As the movie was going on, it took the slope downward to the end. At last, it felt boring. The characters were losing their charms and were under-developing. The whole point of the story was not needed. The bees lived happily and ‘Barry’ had to find out the hard way making the whole world in danger just to realize that it was okay for people to have honey.
It was all about Barry’s adventure of finding why things turn out to be like they were. The story can’t explain itself and probably was a tough theme to explain. Bee Movie could have been done better if it were more critical to its story. Rewriting and rewriting until it makes sense.
I think Bee Movie was a lesson DreamWorks Animation learned and their movies got better from then on.
