Too Many Bee Puns!

The first few minutes was absolutely brilliant because there were scientific jokes about the actual lives of bees. The animation looks lively and great so it's perfect for children. But as an adult, I wasn't that entertained when the lead bee, voiced by Jerry Seinfeld, decided to take a lawful action against something. Some of the magic were lost and the jokes were not as sharp. I did like the interaction between the bee and the human because it reminded me of a less meaningful version of "Ratatouille." It also reminded me of a less creative "A Bug's Life." Nonetheless, I'm not completely against recommending it because it does teach a lesson to kids about the importance of the environment and how people rely on nature to subsist. Everything was done in a light and goofy way; it made me smile from time to time (but I could only take so many bee puns). I'm also recommending this picture for sheer energy. I just wish that they had more material for adults so they wouldn't get bored when they watch this movie with kids. But other than that, it's not too shabby.
