Bee Movie is a 2007 American computer animated satirical comedy movie directed by Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner, and written by Jerry Seinfeld, Spike Feresten, Barry Marder, and Andy Robin. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, it stars Seinfeld and Renée Zellweger. The film centers on Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), an anthropomorphic honey bee who tries to sue the human race for exploiting bees after learning from his new florist friend Vanessa Bloome (Zellweger) that humans sell and consume honey.

Bee Movie premiered in New York City on October 25, 2007, and was released in theaters in the United States on November 2 by Paramount Pictures. The film grossed $293.5 million worldwide on a budget of $150 million and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its humor and voice cast but criticized its plot and screenplay. It has gained a cult following since its release, partly driven by internet memes of the film shared on social media, which lampoon its surreal premise, script and celebrity cameos.

Plot

The main character is Barry B. Benson, who is a bee. Barry leaves his beehive for a job and meets a woman called Vanessa. They both become friends and when they are at the shop, Barry sees honey and realises that humans have been stealing their honey, so he and Vanessa go to court to give all of the honey back to the bees.

After they win the lawsuit, all bees lose their jobs and the flowers start dying because they aren't getting pollinated by the bees. Barry and Vanessa go to the flower parade (where the last alive flowers are), steal a festival car and bring it into a plane. They want to bring the flowers back to the bees to make the flowers alive again. Vanessa is forced to fly the plane with the help of Barry halfway through the flight and successfully lands with the help of the bees.

In the end, they manage to pollinate the flowers, make the nature alive again and all bees get their jobs back.
