Review of Maya the Bee Movie (2014) by Jona S — 03 Jun 2015

When I see a family film with no expectations going in ? especially from a series that generated out of Germany with help from an Australian studio ? it leaves my mind open and my heart wondering. I decided to give a movie called Alpha and Omega a chance a few years ago, and I?m glad I did. I can officially say the same thing about Maya the Bee.

?Bee?lieve me when I say I?m ?buzzing? about this movie! This is a movie that if you don?t have a ?fuzzy feeling? (more bee puns, lol) by the end of the film, something is very wrong with you!

This movie very much reminds me of Lion King 2 ? you have the free.

Spirit in Maya (who?s very much like Chiara), the best friend/tag-along/love interest in Willy (okay, there?s not really a comparison there but I LOVED Willy as a character), the best friend who?s actually.

A rival to the bees Sting the hornet (like Kovu), for gosh sakes there?s even a pair of dimwitted ants that reminded me of Timon and Pumbaa! But even though the characters themselves stand alone as.

Great, the story is what SHOULD make you soar like a bee flying through a meadow. I was on edge throughout the film as I followed Maya?s story and her battle to fit in, while at the same time making.

Friends with Willy and the fellow bugs in the meadow, including the ever-positive grasshopper Flip.

Yes, there?s even a true villain in this film that you will eventually loathe and hope she gets her just-desserts (and she does in a wild thrilling ending) but the main morals to be learned is to ?bee?

Yourself and that everyone has a role and a purpose in life. You also MUST watch the bonus features ? and I don?t say that about many movies ? the interview with Maya, the TV episode (where Andrea.

Libman from MLP does a great job as Maya?s voice but I can?t pinpoint who does Willy?s), and the brief blooper reel.

I also must say about the voice acting I was expecting it to be a bit rough ? most foreign films are ? but actually they weren?t bad at all. I loved Maya?s British accent and the guy who played Willy ? if he had an accent you couldn?t tell.

Everything about this movie left me smiling,.

Cheering, screaming at the villain a few times?but it was altogether a great package! I was able to embrace my ?inner bee?! Bravo Maya and your friends ? you?re un?bee?lievable!!! >:-).
