As blandly export-friendly and culturally nonspecific as an airline meal.

Lacks the zingy surprise that Pixar or Disney might have brought.

This sweet, play-it-safe adaptation of TV's honeybee heroine is as innocuous and uninspired as preschool animation gets.

Instead of a regular kids film, this one becomes tirying, squematic and really predictable. [Full review in Spanish]

It's not a bad film, but it feels a little too safe in the genre and doesn't do anything we haven't seen before. [Full review in Spanish]

I wouldn't recommend watching it for a science project on Bees. I think there's more real bee facts in Jerry Seinfeld's "Bee Movie". But it's fun for little-little kids movie, most of the characters are likable. I've seen better animation style but I've seen worse. But it's well written and like I said little-little kids will love it.
