Young Guest Reviewers: Maya the Bee (U)

Our guest reviewer, Dylan Hudson (aged 11) shares his views of the film, Maya the Bee.

This movie is about a bee that is just growing up to learn about the hive she lives in. However, she gets kicked out of the hive and can't go back! Next thing she is out in the meadow, which is dangerous for a baby bee.

Good Points:

This movie is funny and entertaining for children under six years old.

This bee teaches kids never to give up on a task that they are doing, such as finding her friends and finding her way home.

Also this movie teaches kids loads of facts about bees and what they do.

Negative Points:

It is a good movie but there are some downsides; there are some strong words like 'idiot' and lots of arguments in the film that would make kids think that arguing is ok!

Maya the Bee is hated at the start - everybody hates her - so she decides to leave the hive, which is making kids think they might do it some day. I'M NOT SAYING THEY WILL THOUGH.

Funny Notes:

Maya laughs a lot with her friends because of jokes like buzz buzzy buzz buzz, that makes Maya laugh.

Also she is quite a cheeky girl in a funny way, like sneaking up on her friends for a joke, to make them laugh.

I liked this film, but I think it is for younger children.

Maya woke up. She wanted to find her role. She goes to the meadow. She meets a grasshopper. She finds a hornet. The assistant stole the royal jelly. Maya helps save the Queen and the Hive. The End.
