As blandly export-friendly and culturally nonspecific as an airline meal. Go to Full Review Cath Clarke Time Out 10/20/2015

Lacks the zingy surprise that Pixar or Disney might have brought. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety 05/01/2015
This sweet, play-it-safe adaptation of TV's honeybee heroine is as innocuous and uninspired as preschool animation gets. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net 02/28/2019

For what it is I liked it. Go to Full Review Javier Porta Fouz La Nación (Argentina) 11/06/2015
Instead of a regular kids film, this one becomes tirying, squematic and really predictable. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Amanda Adame Cine Premiere 10/15/2015
3/5
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] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ella Jul 17 My grandma died from a heart attack after getting jump scared by the bee… 😔 wouldn’t recommend See more Jace G May 4 This movie was pretty bad. How did they make 2 more movies after this? See more Shrek L 01/09/2025 I hope everyone who made this movie rots in h#ll that's how bad it is See more Junior C 03/11/2024 This is the best Movie! See more Chris M 02/16/2023 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. See more William D 10/24/2022 This isn't the bee movie. See more Read all reviews
