    Ripoff of Bee Movie

    That is all, nothing more. The voices, animation, story are all complete garbage. I give it a 4 instead of a 1 so they don't increase sales by entering the "prestigious" Bottom 100 IMDb list, and also because however unintentional it may be the laughably bad animation etc does provide some entertainment value, if watched with friends and a few beers.

    MASTERPIECE

    Watch this to experience the absolute master class of animation that has been made by these gods of writing.

    The movie stings (pun not intended)

    THIS MOVIE IS GARBAGE.

    The animation sucks The "voice acting" sucks The "characters" suck

    EVERYTHING SUCKS.

    It really is as bad as you would expect

    As said in my review for What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue that Little Bee is a rip off of Dreamworks' Bee Movie is the least of its problems. Bee Movie was not particularly a great film, in fact it was decent but one of Dreamwork's weakest films, but if there was a choice of watching that or Little Bee again the choice would be obvious don't you think? The lack of originality is not always an issue, something also said in the review for What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue, but it is very dependent on the execution everywhere else. With Little Bee the execution in all areas is just terrible, it looks and sounds like next to no effort was put into it. To sum up the animation, it would be difficult to pick the worst of the many negative adjectives but horrible does spring to mind, because there is no fluidity, everything is just shoddy and flat with the characters looking and acting like robots. The music is forgettable at best, you don't care for one character(the characters are very bland and annoying here) and the obnoxious voice acting, ranging from shrill to bored-sounding, makes matters even worse. The writing is as ever with Video Brinquedo juvenile and crass with no signs of heart or charm shining through, while the story is paper-thin and manages to be both rushed and dull. It's also embedded with infuriating false-hoods like the ideas of honey being made by gathering nectar in buckets and mixing it in a giant pot and bee's sting-tails not falling off when they die(you don't even have to have been stung by a bee to know that that isn't true), this is to the extent of insulting the intelligence. To conclude, not quite as bad as Ratatoing and The Little Panda Fighter but is that really saying much? 1/10 Bethany Cox

    LMAO

    I love how it says there is "severe blood and gore, strong language"

    So uh. "Abelhinhas" (2009) is often criticized for its subpar animation quality. The film, centered around bees, falls short in visual execution. The animation lacks the intricate details and fluidity found in many contemporary animated films. This deficiency in animation quality can be distracting for viewers, hindering their immersion in the story. Aesthetically, it may not meet the standards set by other animated films of its time, making it less appealing to both children and adults who appreciate high-quality animation. While the premise of a bee-centric story is intriguing, the film's visual shortcomings are a significant drawback that can impact the overall viewing experience.
