![]() Tagline: Honey just got funny.
"Bee Movie" is a comedy that will change everything you think you know about bees. Having just graduated from college, a bee by the name of Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice - honey.
As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger). He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bees' honey for centuries, and ultimately realizes that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race for stealing their precious honey.
It has taken four years to make “Bee Movie” and one million man hours to animate it, with an estimated 25 million render hours used during the course of the production…that's five times more than the original “Shrek.”
Now THAT'S a lot of BEES! It is no exaggeration to say that the animation team created upwards of one million bees for “Bee Movie,” specifically in the sequence where the bees help to land the jet. Around 750,000 bees carry the plane, and about 350,000 bees form the flower pattern on the ground. In the five or so shots where these groups are together, more than 1,000,000 million bees are onscreen.
