Bee Movie (2007)

Another pun filled theme cartoon. It's not the puns that are funny though, some of the characters are hilarious.

There are three characters that stand out. The most are the overly sensitive and shouting boyfriend of the bee-friended woman and Chris Rock's bloodsucking mosquito. John Goodman's lawyer is over the top entertaining too.

Injecting some philosophy of the environment and work ethic into an otherwise empty story by Jerry Seinfeld does redeem it a little (these writers are worth their guild hold-out). An adventuresome bee discovers that humans harvest honey made by bees and seeks legal adjustments.

The animation focuses on primary colours and facial expressions, making the experience as illuminating as possible.

Truth: Work is an essential part of a fulfilled life. Fair wages are due to all who work.
