Bee Movie

Buzzing animated feature

Bee Movie is a 2007 animated comedy film in which a bee sues humanity for exploiting bees' honey.

The film became an internet phenomenon through ironic appreciation and absurdist memes—the entire script posted in comments, videos that speed up every time someone says "bee." According to all known laws of aviation... has become a recognizable copypasta opening.
