Bee Movie

Self explanatory title - a movie about the Bees.
Barry, the bee, a new graduate to work in the honey factory is about to make the most important decision in his life - the job of the lifetime. He realises if he becomes the stirrer or the whatever in the honey factory, his life is just that. He feels unsure and takes a trip to the outside world with the pollinators.
He comes really close to being dead, but Vanessa saves him and he feels obligated to thank her. In this, they develop a great friendship. Eventually, she takes him shopping and he is shocked to find bottles and bottles of honey with fake people and their names on it. He is enraged and vows to get to the bottom. He discovers bees are bred in captivity and their honey taken from them.
He engages in a lawsuit with Vanessa's help and the world is amazed to see a talking bee, and eventually wins the case. No more honey stealing!
But over time, Vanessa's florist business goes down. The world looks like a dump, without plants and the bees seem to have nothing to do. Barry realises it is all his fault, but he finds an idea to get it all back. Vanessa and Barry attend the flower show and steal away a truck full of flowers and bring it on the plane. On the way back, when Barry tries to talk to the pilots, they become pilot-less and Barry's hive friends help him land the plane and the pollen is thrown around again and in a few days time, the balance is restored.
Again, one of the cute movies with focus on animals and insects and their life. It almost makes me think about how delicately nature is balanced over little things that all of us are supposed to do and this, the earth functions in a perfect balance. In the name of respect and equal rights to all, if we keep challenging routines, things do get a little crazy and off balance. Definitely worth a watch.
