Bee movie: Film review

Bee movie is a 2007 animated movie produced by DreamWorks and distributed by Paramount Pictures, Directed by Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner. Jerry Seinfeld gives a Dry performance in our main character Barry B Benson but I believe this really adds to the humour of the film and it can be enjoyed by children and adults alike and Seinfeld voicing Benson does not distract the viewer from the character by constantly thinking of the established comedian.

The film is very rewatchable and I myself have watched it over a dozen times over, since its release and I find myself finding new things in the film or even catching more Jokes every time I watch it.

At first glance it looks like children's film but a deeper look into this film provides a more political point of view, dealing with the affects of capitalism and communism through the honey issue that humans are taking what bees work hard for and this also serves as a reference to colonialism, the film is a comedy but delves into many genres possibly including rom com as our protagonist Barry b Benson has a relationship with a human female (Vanessa Bloome) this is a satirical take on the real relationship between insects and humanity which is the vocal point of the Film as we get to see a world without Bees and the work they do for this planet and this actually reflects our own world both with the destruction of our environment as well as the bees disappearing.

Some might say it even works as a time capsule of the time in which it was made as it shows the stage in which humanities collective mind was set over environmental problems that are currently ravaging the planet this also shows that the environmental movement is not a recent cause and has been touched upon through media such as this film in the past.
