Synopsis

Freshly hatched bee Maya is a little whirlwind and won't follow the rules of the hive. One of these rules is not to trust the hornets that live beyond the meadow. When the Royal Jelly is stolen, the hornets are suspected and Maya is thought to be their accomplice. No one believes that she is the innocent victim and no one will stand by her except for her good-natured and best friend Willy. After a long and eventful journey to the hornets hive Maya and Willy soon discover the true culprit and the two friends finally bond with the other residents of the opulent meadow.

Reviews

LESLIE STEWART Queen's assistant is not nice, threatens life of queen. Hornets are nasty characters. All the workers should be female, the guards are male. Talking is too fast, visuals too fast. Don't recommend at all, but avoid completely for anyone under 7.Check out Room on the Broom, Stickman, The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Sarah and Duck, for young children.
Cartoonreviews Honestly, I had absolutely NO idea what to expect when coming into this movie. I had never seen the original anime series nor the revamp so I didn't know what it was about or what to expect. The only reason I saw it is because it was on Netflix and I was bored. What I received was actually a really cute, well thought out, adorable film. It's nice to see a movie that teaches the lesson that all you need is a positive outlook and you can do anything as well as there being no need for any sort of violence or death of the villain. (i am actually getting very sick of killing off villains as I have come to accept that as taking the lazy way out)Can the protagonist get a tad annoying with her rhetoric? Yeah, a little, but she later realizes what has been going on in her absence and she actually does have some character growth. I feel overall that this movie is incredibly underrated and needs more attention than it got. I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would and it's a film that people really need to see if they need a pick me up. Great job guys. 9/10.
Maruna Hada I thought this movie was absolutely adorable! The main character Maya was such a delightful protagonist with so much heart I couldn't help myself falling in love with her! Maya's voice actress Coco and all the voice actors did such an amazing job giving so much life to the characters!I think both adults and children can enjoy this film for all the witty dialogue and humour. I loved all the scenes with the ant duo and the scenes with the moth babies make me both laugh and cringe! I think this movie's message came across very strongly and effectively, friendship that can be born out of accepting others for their differences and being yourself. The animation, back ground and compositing were all beautiful too and I would recommend this film to everybody!
Sophie P I loved this film. The story was great, the characters were lovable and I thought the message of the film (be yourself and just because someone is different from you doesn't mean you can't be friends) was a great one for little kids. It never resorted to being too corny either which I appreciated. The voice actors did a great job and the whole cinema was laughing out loud in parts (the ant soldiers played by the umbilical brothers were particularly great). I even got a little teary near the end! A movie that is enjoyable for both kids and parents a like. I think the crew and the director did a fantastic job and I would recommend this to anyone with little ones in their life. Maya the bee is this year's Finding Nemo!
