(about the Bee Movie)
"Barry B. Benson is a bee who has lived all of his life inside of a beehive. He graduates and has to pursue a career but finds out he must keep it for the rest of his life. He doesn't want to do that, so he escapes the hive (which is forbidden) and meets a florist named Vanessa. He comes back to the hive to be looked at in disgust for talking with humans. He goes back out to find Vanessa but discovers that humans have been stealing their honey and is upset. In the end, he works to free the bees that were being farmed for their honey and finds justice by succeeding in suing humanity for theft."
