We have yet to see any serious animated footage from Jerry Seinfeld’s Bee Movie. The two previous teaser trailers involved the comedy actors in Bee suits (if you haven’t seen them, check them out - the Steven Spielberg cameo is not to be missed). The first theatrical trailer has been released, and finally we get our first real look at the film itself. Watch the new trailer after the jump.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not yet sure about this one. The animation looks fine, but I’m not completely sold on the story. What is the story?
The official plot synopsis follows: Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), a bee who has just graduated from college, is disillusioned at his lone career choice: making honey. On a special trip outside the hive, Barry’s life is saved by Vanessa (Zellweger), a florist in New York City. As their relationship blossoms, he discovers humans actually eat honey, and subsequently decides to sue us.
Moviefone has the new trailer in full High Definition for those interested.
The voice cast for the project includes: Jerry Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger, Matthew Briderick, John Goodman, Chris Rock, Rip Torn, Eddie Izzard, Alan Arkin, Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Bates, Larry King, Larry Miller, Barry Levinson, Colin Quinn and more. Bee Movie hits theaters on November 2, 2007.

Male bees (drones) don’t collect honey. Too many are a sign of weakness in a hive. Female workers (honey producers) do all the work and kill off drones before winter. Weak concept and misinformed. From a beekeeper (robber).

Male bees (drones) don’t collect nectar to make honey. Too many are a sign of weakness in a hive. Female workers (the honey producers) do all the work and kill off the drones before winter as they only consume honey without benefit to the colony. Weak movie concept and misinformed. Can’t see where this movie would change anybody’s view of bees toward accuracy. From a beekeeper (robber)

Let It Bee…
…to Bee or not to Be; That is the question! Whether it be nobler in the mind to suffer the stings and narrows of diversity or like a bee, sting!
Jerry Seinfeld’s new animation masterpiece hits home with some stinging humour that goes straight to the hive of human civilization. Lovely wit a smile a second stab at modern Shakespearean poetry. A laugh for the times we live in left me feeling bee-reaved!
Got to see this B-movie last night and it actually brings tears to your pollen sacs when the bees strike out to save the planet when the reality arises to be human or tot be bee, that is the question!
