Obviously the youtube cartoon is not correct and I wouldnt expect it to be. I think some of you are missing the point. I am not opposed to ducks, bees, bears, etc talking or what have you. My biggest problem with the movie is the portrayal of beeks as evil capitalists profiteers.
Why doesnt Disney put out a movie about evil capitalists profiteers that have a theme park empire all over the world that puts out animated movies? Think of the carbon footprint of all those parks and all the pollution the cars and planes make bringing millions of evil doing humans to the parks every year. And just think of all the evil money these parks make!! "We make the money and the park pollutes the earth plenty!" could be the chant of the CEO and his henchmen.
Man that is just filled with so much contradiction I don't know where to begin.
Scientifically, the entire movie is a farce. Males (pollen jocks) are not workers , females are. Bees don't pick one job for their entire life, they perform several jobs throughout their lifetime. FLOWERS ARE NOT PRODUCED BY BEES, flowers are fertilized by bees which created FRUITS AND FERTILIZED SEEDS.
Now it's just the beekeepers as evil capitalists profiteers.
This is known in circles as changing the subject.
So because the movie portrays beekeepers as evil instead of wasps or varroa. Suddenly it's bad. A couple of things here. One not all beekeepers are good people. If they were we wouldn't have people here in Florida trying to sue the importers but I will guess that's okay because the chinese aren't human right? Also you didn't write the movie. That doesn't mean you have to like it but the reasons for your disdain are pretty weak.

This comment goes to stereotype. Because it's animated it must be Disney. Then the rest of the comment digresses into an appeal about the carbon foot print. This is just poor on many levels.
Disney did not make the Bee Movie. It was a Dreamworks productions. And specifically it was Steven Spielberg who got Jerry to work on making the movie a reality. You know Steven he made that movie called ET. The one where the adults chase the boy and his Reeses pieces alien. Those evil adults, how could they. All he wanted was to make a phone call. (Touch of sarcasm in there? you bet)
And so we can address your evil theme park empire and movies. Movies cost money to get made. A lot of it. I am not giving full justification to the evil theme park empire but I realize when you lead star is getting 20 million to star in a movie and the rest of your production costs which includes the salaries of those who do all the rigging and set building, and in the case of a modern animation all the people who design the code and make the animation, the sound engineers and the rest. Having a movie that is almost 100 million isn't unusual. Then you have distribute it and publicize it. And if you are the financial arm putting this money at risk even if it won't bankrupt you you would still like to get a return on your investment. It's called running a business not a charity. And while the evil theme park may not seem wonderful to you. it's stock is part of several hundred mutual funds. It is considered a blue chip amongst traders. So all those 401ks, mutual funds, and others may have some evil empire in it. It's not just kids who love the mouse, the AARP loves the mouse also.
Look there is plenty of evil to go around with better foundations than you have used.
If you don't like it you can always write, produce, advertise , and distribute your own. Who knows you could have the next Blair Witch or something else. And you can always come and complain about hollywood. But it doesn't mean your reasons won't be taken to task. In this case it is a load of fail.
