It is his fault for having allergies though. Well, the life of Ken is likely less expendable than that of a bee lost from his hive. “Why does his value have any less than yours?” Vanessa Bloome (Renée Zellweger) asks Ken (Patrick Warburton) when he tries to stomp Barry to death. Watching this with the tinted glasses of nostalgia necessary, Bee Movie comes across well enough. But beyond the nice animation and sight gags of hive hairdos and antenna telephones, is a much larger attempt at making an earnest family-oriented film with enough flair for the children and fascinatingly bizarre humour for the adults. That sleek style that would eventually be polished to horrible, glossy perfection in other studios, such as Illumination, is at its height here. Some have aged like a spilt carton of eggnog, lying out in the sunny, blue-sky thinking days of 2007. Many of these animated ventures cannot be criticised for their animation or art style, particularly because they do not look all that bad. Everyone is quick to mock a 150 million dollar movie until they realise that’s the budget for Bee Movie, a movie about bees reclaiming their rights and their honey. It is difficult to evaluate the true merits of innovation and craftsmanship here. Bee Movie is now a great meme machine and a culturally notorious piece for a generation, not through quality, but because of character and heart.
You could say he is not “beeing” the ideal bee. He is teased by the outer world of the hive and what it has to offer.
Bee Movie follows Benson’s struggle as he simply tries to fit in. This is not surprising as this is the first week Paramount has released Blu-ray discs after dropping the format last August for an exclusive HD DVD commitment.Albert Camus once said: “Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.” My mind, ravaged by alcohol and deprived of rest, associated this quote with the rise, fall, and second coming of Barry B. This week's list is dominated by Blu-ray releases. On a side note, there is an immense flood of Blu-ray releases, including a few I thought were coming out previously. One of them is the DVD Pick of the Week, I just don't know which one. Had the Blu-ray provided anything more than High Definition, or been a more reasonable price compared to the DVD, it would have been an easier choice. However, I found it impossible to decide which format was the better deal. There were a few other contenders for the title, including Dirty Harry Collection on DVD or Blu-ray. This was a bad week for big movies, with not a single first run release is even worth rating a solid purchase, never mind being a contender for DVD Pick of the Week.
