Bee Movie

From creator Jerry Seinfeld comes Bee Movie, a comedy that will change everything you thought you knew about bees. Bees are probably the most misunderstood and least appreciated of all winged insects on the planet. Take a closer look at the world of bees through the eyes of one bee in particular…

Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) is a recent college graduate who wants more out of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City: a job at Honex…making honey. Barry takes a chance and flees his hive, and soon encounters a world he couldn’t have envisioned in his wildest dreams, including a cute florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger). When Barry becomes smitten with her, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom - he talks to her. A friendship soon develops, and Barry gets a crash course in the human race. He is shocked to discover that anyone with money can purchase honey right off the grocery store shelf and he decides to put a stop to this. He reasons that to beat humans you have to think like humans - so he sues humankind for their continued bee exploitation and theft of the bees’ precious honey.

The first major project since Jerry Seinfeld’s television series, Bee Movie was a labour of love for the stand-up comedian, as he not only voices the lead bee, Barry, but also co-wrote the screenplay and served as a producer. Creating Bee Movie was a learning experience for Jerry Seinfeld and he learned a thing or two…about bees. “You sting, your life is over. So it’s a big step. You really have to control your temper. You don’t just sting somebody because you get upset. Makes you really think about anger management, doesn’t it?” said Seinfeld.
