Movie Info

Maya is a little bee with a big heart. She dreams of an exciting life of freedom, fun and adventure - the world is simply far too interesting to stay inside a hive! Her funny attempts to fit in bring her into trouble with the Queen's narrow-minded royal advisor, Buzzlina. With her best friend Willy, Maya buzzes out into the meadow on an exhilarating adventure of self-discovery. While most bees believe that other insects should be feared, Maya can't help but make friends with Flip the charismatic and eccentric grasshopper, Kurt the dung beetle and even Sting, a young hornet. But when the Queen's royal jelly is stolen, it will take Maya and all of her bug buddies to figure out who did it and how to save the day!(C) Shout Factory

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.

"Maya the Bee" embodies the kind of self-consciously uplifting treacle some adults insist kids want. They package "Maya" like honey, but it tastes like medicine.

Top Critic

The film's messages about friendship, acceptance and being yourself are clear enough for the young, and grown-ups can read the story as a warning about conformity and about going to war on false pretenses.

While parents may struggle with the relentless perkiness of the ever giggling baby bee, little ones may get lost in an overly complex story that would have benefited from judicious pruning.

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