"nice movie"
I heard great recommendations about this movie & I was a little disappointed when I watched it. The story was not interesting enough. Seinfeld's voice was the only nice thing about this movie.

"Perfectly acceptable."
This is fine, ok to watch with your kids or grandkids. Tries a little too hard maybe. I find Vanessa strangely attractive, not Renee Zelwegger but Vanessa, the character. Strange.

"Wonderful propaganda movie"
I guess I watch more kids movies now because I am a parent. It has opened my eyes to the fact that most kids are propaganda movies forged to give kids political/social views before they're old enough to really understand such things. If you were to watch Bee Movie you would see what I mean. It will explain to you everything that's wrong with our country. I suggest you watch it under the heading of "How far America has declined." I like the part where the bees explicitly blame white people for oppressing them. Or the parts where the bleeding heart liberal woman makes her husband out to be a jerk because he tries to kill a little harmless bee. Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this propaganda movie.

"Very entertaining"
I bought this for my grandson, who is not yet two. He watches it 2 - 3 times a day when he is over here. Actually, I am not tired of it yet. It has adult humor and the animation entrances kids.

"Loved the anti-slavery message."
Oftentimes, progressive messages are contained within movies and books for children. The Bee Movie is no exception. There are several messages regarding the rights of labor, fairness, animal rights and so forth. While the corporate media often filters out progressive messages Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky and the Media, there are people within the system that are creating space for messages that our children will benefit from hearing. The Bee Movie provides many moments that encourage critical thought about our economic system, the conditions of our work The Overworked American: The Unexpected Decline Of Leisure, and our relations with non-human species I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA. Sadly, so much of the media is crafted to manipulate children in the interests of Big Business Consuming Kids: Protecting Our Children from the Onslaught of Marketing & Advertising (see also the DVD of the same title from the Media Education Foundation).
As adults, it's our responsibility to encourage children to think critically, and this movie is one resource to do that. It also is just a beautifully crafted film.
Lastly, in this era of collapsing bee populations, raising awareness of the beauty and utility of bees is critically important Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century.
