Synopsis:

Bee Movie takes us into the kingdom of plants and animals, and tells us the story of Barry B. Benson (voiced by Jerry Seinfield, a recently graduated bee. Benson is quite happy with his life, with an incessant dread of only one thing – he has to work like every other bee he has ever met, prepare honey.

Always the one open to an adventure, Benson ventures out of his world and comes into contact with humans. Here, he meets an idealist florist, Vanessa (voiced by Renee Zellweger), and finds out that the honey that bees create is available to the humans. In fact, they can just buy it off the shelves! Infuriated at this, Benson decides to sue the entire human race, and succeeds.

But Benson soon realizes how devastating his decision has been for the plant and animal kingdom. The bees cannot earn money to maintain their families and the plants cannot create oxygen to survive. Great problems require great minds to work together to solve them, and Benson then turns to Vanessa, and the duo have then to come up with a plan to get life back to normalcy.

So beneath the bedazzling animation, after the incredible voice-over and between the mind boggling storyboarding, the movie has a simple enough message - don’t mess with the process, dude, it’s there because it’s meant to be there. For people who want another message, the movie speaks about how every small decision that we take does not only concern us or make a difference only to us, but has the propensity of touching a vast multitude of people.
