Bee Movie (2007)

Jerry Sienfield’s CG kid’s movie is pun heavy but the story is unconventional enough to be amusing. Sienfield is Barry B. Benson a young Bee just out of college who can’t decide which honey related job he wants to do for the rest of his life. Barry ventures outside the hive in search of new experience and perhaps some meaning, where he befriends a florist who saves him from being squashed (Renée Zellweger). The two teach each other about there respective worlds, and when Barry learns that human corporations are exploiting Bee’s for their honey, he sues in court for the return of all the sweet nectar, this of course upsets the balance of nature and Berry must endeavor to set everything straight in the end. Likable. Three out of Five.
