Bee Movie

NOTE: Barry and Vanessa's relationship is not meant to be sexual, so any mention of it will be reverted due to false information.

Bee Movie is a 2007 American computer-animated comedy film produced by mh:greatestmovies:DreamWorks Animation and distributed by mh:greatestmovies:Paramount Pictures. Directed by Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner, the film stars the voices of Jerry Seinfeld, Renée Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Patrick Warburton, and Chris Rock in supporting roles. Despite mixed reviews from critics, including a 49% on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is still very flawless and was a box office success, grossing $293.5 million worldwide on a budget of $150 million. It also gathered a cult following, partly driven by memes of the film shared on social media.

Plot
Fresh out of college, Barry the Bee finds the prospect of working with honey uninspiring. He flies outside the hive for the first time and talks to a human, breaking a cardinal rule of his species. Barry learns that humans have been stealing and eating honey for centuries, and he realizes that his true calling is to obtain justice for his kind by suing humanity for theft.

Good Qualities

 * 1) As with all DreamWorks movies, Bee Movie has wonderful and realistic animation that is very impressive.
 * 2) Barry is a cool and likable protagonist who tries to do good at his job as a pollen jock, and makes an iconic friendship with a human, and he develops an understandable anger towards humans since they steal their honey. He can even be a role model since he shows that you have to stand up for your community.
 * 3) Ken is an entertaining antagonist who has funny quotes, such as "When will this nightmare end?!", and his motives behind his hatred for Barry is understandable enough since his own wife starts to like a bee better than him out of nowhere.
 * 4) The idea of a bee meeting a human he becomes friends with and suing people for stealing their honey is quite an original premise.
 * 5) The soundtrack is good.
 * 6) Chris Rock's mosquito character is very funny.
 * 7) Plenty of hilarious scenes like the bathroom brawl.
 * 8) It shows the importance of bees and their pollination, as when the bees successfully sue humans, the trees and flowers becomes wilted and depressing, which shows that the reason nature is so pretty is because of bees.
 * 9) A good message, the message being that all life is valuable because we each play a major part in our ecosystem. Everyone has an important role in society. Bees are essential to our survival, and they can do so much more than win Supreme Court cases.
 * 10) Great humor, which is most likely due to Jerry Seinfeld, a popular comedian, working on the film, and his contributions are considered one of the best parts of the film.
 * 11) Interesting cameos from Larry King, Ray Liotta and even Sting.
 * 12) References from the Winnie the Pooh franchise also made it into the film as Disney shared the license with their fellow competition DreamWorks to allow Winnie the Pooh and Piglet to make cameos in this film and there's even a reference to the famous teddy bear store Build-A-Bear Workshop.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While Barry's anger is understandable, he takes it out a bit too much as he attempts to sue the entire human race.
 * 2) While Jerry Seinfeld's voice acting is good, he sounds way too old to play Barry.
 * 3) The ending, while it is good, doesn't portray a bee's work in a realistic way.
 * 4) Despite being funny to some, there are some infamous scenes, such as:
 * 5) *Layton accusing Barry of being Vanessa's sex partner. (Are you her little...bed bug?)
 * 6) *Barry stating that every bee is each-other's cousin, which is an incest joke.
 * 7) *Barry imagining Vanessa crashing a plane on accident and her exploding.
 * 8) *The "Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man?!" joke.
 * 9) *When Barry suggests to Vanessa to do a suicide pact.
 * 10) Kenneth's voice acting by Patrick Warburton can get a bit tiresome when he starts yelling.
 * 11) Some plot holes:
 * 12) *If "not talking to humans" is a major bee law, how does Barry gets no repercussions or punishment for breaking it?
 * 13) *The bees decide to stop making honey because of having way too much. However, they had no reason to stop pollinating.
 * 14) *Someone claims that the Pasadena parade has the "last flowers in the world." But Barry's lawsuit only affected the USA; bees in other countries are presumably still pollinating flowers as usual.
 * 15) *After winning the case, all the honey that the humans had is returned to the bees thanks to Barry; However, there is a big difference between the natural bee-made honey and the human modified honey that it's sell in stores since they contain various types of chemicals and saturated fats that only humans are able make, if Barry took the human-made honey to all of the hives, it's likely that many of them ended up sick.

Trivia

 * It is one of the most famous movie memes, spawning memes such as "Ya Like Jazz?", "That's a drag queen!" and "According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly...". In fact, the entire script itself is a meme!
