10+ Really Weird Things That Happened In 'The Bee Movie'

Very early on in the movie, Barry is congratulated on reaching the point in his life where he's finally able to work for the rest of his life.

Isn't this metaphor a little glib for a children's movie?

This is pretty dark and twisted humor for such a young target audience. I'm sure this scene upset its fair share of parents, too.

It's just so unnecessary and brings nothing to the story.

I suppose "why?" is the first question that comes to mind but it certainly isn't the only one.

Now, I'm probably way out on a limb, but doesn't this come across as mildly sexual?

Barry just can't leave Vanessa alone. During one incredibly creepy scene, he says "You work through it like any emotion. Anger, jealousy...lust."

Why does a cartoon bee have a sex drive? And more importantly, why are we subjecting children to it?

They can fly! Why on earth would they ever need a car? More importantly, how would they have cars?

Is the movie trying to say that bees have mastered the combustion engine? When did that happen?!

While Barry and Adam are on a tour of the hive, Adam spots a girl-bee and exclaims "That girl was hot!"

Barry then reminds Adam that not only was that his cousin but that all the bees are in fact cousins. Gross.

That's what Barry said not even two minutes prior to this scene. So how is it possible for a bee to sting seven people, then sting itself?

It doesn't make any sense at all!

After leaving the hive, Barry and the pollen jockeys immediately ascend to skyscraper height.

It's pretty impressive that so many kites would be flown at the exact same altitude. Especially since there are no strings and no people that can be seen holding them from below.

Think about it for a second: what would your reaction be if you were walking along and suddenly you saw another human being encased in a block of ice?

You'd probably be pretty freaked out. So how is Barry so nonchalant?

Barry becomes terrified when an ensuing storm begins rolling into the city. He tries to desperately evade a wall of rain, chanting "Can't fly in rain" as he goes.

While it's true that bees don't like rain, they can fly in it.

If no one else is going to then I'll just come right out and say it — the chemistry between Vanessa and Barry is creepy.

I'm trying so hard to not make a Beastiality pun that it's making me break out.

She instinctively swats and kills a bug right in front of him. Wouldn't Barry have some reservations having seen this?

No. He just chuckles along and the two go about their imaginary date.

I understand that Vanessa thought she was dreaming, but still! Why wouldn't she have started out with something simple like pinching the skin of her wrist?

Hand-stabbing seems like a bit of a stretch.

This is coming from the guy who couldn't figure out that he was flying into a closed window not five minutes prior. Now we're supposed to believe that he's a coffee drinker?

If he's never left the hive, how would he have ever tried coffee?

You have to admit, it is a little wasteful isn't it? Kind of like the cartoon equivalent of burning piles of money to keep a fire roaring.

But I don't know why I even bother bringing up the logic when this film clearly has none.
