Little Bee (2007 Video) User Reviews

Ugh- yet another bad movie by these creators

[carolcrawford-36301 · 1/10 · 30 January 2016]

This movie is really bad, and again another rip off of another good. First of all the animation is horrible. The eyes keep drifting off and the lips don't match the words they are saying at all. Also, the eye colors of the characters keep changing colors. All the scenery is plane and used over and over again. There are so many things wrong with the animation that I can't write it all down.

The voice acting and the scripts are awful. There is no emotion and no character in what they say at all. There are only a few voice actors in the movie and they just keep reusing the voices. The voices get really old. The scripts don't make any sense. I don't even know what's going on in the movie because all it is is just words without any meaning.

I don't even know what they are trying to make the movie about. Just please. You shouldn't watch this movie.

It really is as bad as you would expect

As said in my review for What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue that Little Bee is a rip off of Dreamworks' Bee Movie is the least of its problems. Bee Movie was not particularly a great film, in fact it was decent but one of Dreamwork's weakest films, but if there was a choice of watching that or Little Bee again the choice would be obvious don't you think? The lack of originality is not always an issue, something also said in the review for What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue, but it is very dependent on the execution everywhere else. With Little Bee the execution in all areas is just terrible, it looks and sounds like next to no effort was put into it. To sum up the animation, it would be difficult to pick the worst of the many negative adjectives but horrible does spring to mind, because there is no fluidity, everything is just shoddy and flat with the characters looking and acting like robots. The music is forgettable at best, you don't care for one character(the characters are very bland and annoying here) and the obnoxious voice acting, ranging from shrill to bored-sounding, makes matters even worse. The writing is as ever with Video Brinquedo juvenile and crass with no signs of heart or charm shining through, while the story is paper-thin and manages to be both rushed and dull. It's also embedded with infuriating false-hoods like the ideas of honey being made by gathering nectar in buckets and mixing it in a giant pot and bee's sting-tails not falling off when they die(you don't even have to have been stung by a bee to know that that isn't true), this is to the extent of insulting the intelligence. To conclude, not quite as bad as Ratatoing and The Little Panda Fighter but is that really saying much? 1/10 Bethany Cox

I gave this one out of ten because if you had ten movies this would be the one you should watch. Very heartwarming, lovable characters and the graphics quality is perfection.

Video Brinquedo-what'd you expect

Unlike VB's other movies, I had not seen a review for this film before I saw it. As soon as heard that the protagonist's name was Beenard, I knew I was in for a treat. As usual, the animation is unacceptable for this time and the subject matter is unoriginal. While all of VB's films have a coherent story, that means nothing. The one-time voice actress for Ash Ketchum voices Beenard, who wants to be a cook instead of a soldier, but his friend Beeauty wants to be a soldier- like we've never seen insect colonies as a metaphor for conformity before. Of course, the big problem with insect movies is that insects have to be humanized in impossible ways. There are 2 big-lipped alligator moments in the middle, and some characters barely have a reason to "bee" (pardon me) in this movie. That said, I kind of liked a scene at the end, after Beenard saves the hive with his cooking but is put on trial for abandoning his post as a soldier. Beenard argues that he defended the hive with his honey, so he didn't abandon his post. This does provide a good message and tell it well, but that doesn't stop me from giving it a 1-star review pretty much just for existing, though I think that Ratatoing is even worse .

The movie stings (pun not intended)

THIS MOVIE IS GARBAGE.

The animation sucks The "voice acting" sucks The "characters" suck

EVERYTHING SUCKS.

Ripoff of Bee Movie

[gregberne11 · 4/10 · 19 October 2019]

That is all, nothing more. The voices, animation, story are all complete garbage. I give it a 4 instead of a 1 so they don't increase sales by entering the "prestigious" Bottom 100 IMDb list, and also because however unintentional it may be the laughably bad animation etc does provide some entertainment value, if watched with friends and a few beers.

absolutely amazing

[jason-tanner · 1/10 · 6 September 2020]

This is the best movie ever made. No contest. This demolishes all other movies. Fight Club? Demolished. Endgame? Demolished. Pulp Fiction? Demolished. This is absolutely the best movie I have ever laid my eyes upon.

one for number one!

LMAO

I love how it says there is "severe blood and gore, strong language"

So uh. "Abelhinhas" (2009) is often criticized for its subpar animation quality. The film, centered around bees, falls short in visual execution. The animation lacks the intricate details and fluidity found in many contemporary animated films. This deficiency in animation quality can be distracting for viewers, hindering their immersion in the story. Aesthetically, it may not meet the standards set by other animated films of its time, making it less appealing to both children and adults who appreciate high-quality animation. While the premise of a bee-centric story is intriguing, the film's visual shortcomings are a significant drawback that can impact the overall viewing experience.

10/10 here's why!!

This is the best movie I have ever seen. This movie saved my marriage and I am thankful for that. My wife thought this was so good that she stayed. And I ordered to show this to the kids at school because they show an accurate representation of actual bees. Great animation and stunning voice acting, 10/10 👌

MASTERPIECE

[jjctjqhp · 10/10 · 7 May 2021]

Watch this to experience the absolute master class of animation that has been made by these gods of writing.

This is animation at its finest!!!

[gqfxssytk · 10/10 · 22 February 2023]

If you were to think of the ideal animated movie, this would be it! It is a cinematic masterpiece! I think this movie inspired the the movie "the bee movie". Which is why it's so similar! 10/10, would watch again. If I could rate higher I would! However, not recommended for children, there is multiple graphically violent and sexual scenes. There is one specific scene where a bee is caught twerking in 4k 60fps while covered in crisco! There is also a scene where a bee gets so stressed, it looses its job, and its girlfriends over the same phone call. It then picks up a gun and shoots itself. This is overall a great film?
