This project was Jerry Seinfeld's passion for a couple of years. It was his idea, he wrote it, and he spent long hours every day overseeing the production.
Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), a college-educated honey bee, looks forward to a bright and exciting future, but when he realizes that he'll spend his life as a worker bee without any variance or thrill. He can't bear the thought so he escapes the hive and buzzes into NYC to see if he can't find a more fulfilling career.
There he is befriended by Vanessa Bloome (Renée Zellweger), a dear, sweet human being who tries to help Barry find his place in the world despite the protests of her obnoxious boyfriend Ken (Patrick Warburton).
Lots of lessons in this one -- from finding your bliss to ecology -- and enough Seinfeld-isms to keep this adult entertained for the most part.
Other voices provided by Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Chris Rock, Kathy Bates, Barry Levinson, Larry King, Ray Liotta, Sting, Oprah Winfrey, Larry Miller, Megan Mullally and Rip Torn.
Directed by Steve Hickner and Simon J. Smith.
Rated PG for mild suggestive humor, and a brief depiction of smoking.
