Wow! Such a good movie.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Maya the Bee is an excellent role model for little girls and boys because she teaches everyone the importance of tolerance and the fact that it's OK to be different! What a great representation of the kind of soul we all wish to be.The Australian voices were very well played; it was really nice to hear an Australian accent for the main character. Plus Richard Roxburgh was super charming as the cockney grasshopper Flip. Jacquie Weaver clearly had a lot of fun playing the villain.Kids will get a kick out of this film and their parents and grandparents will love it too!

I went and saw Maya the Bee movie the other day and I loved it. It has a great storyline, characters, animation, message for kids and kept me entertained. There's a perfect balance of action & events as Maya discovers her place in the world and how to make friends along the way. I loved the dung beetle, thought he was hilarious and cannot believe that was Jacki Weaver's voice as Buzzlina. She was unrecognisable! I was also happy to see the Umbilical Brothers in their element as a duo bouncing off one-another. I was brought into Maya's world with the great animation and the message "Bee yourself" isn't lost on me as an adult either. Two thumbs up, Maya!

I thought this movie was absolutely adorable! The main character Maya was such a delightful protagonist with so much heart I couldn't help myself falling in love with her! Maya's voice actress Coco and all the voice actors did such an amazing job giving so much life to the characters!I think both adults and children can enjoy this film for all the witty dialogue and humour. I loved all the scenes with the ant duo and the scenes with the moth babies make me both laugh and cringe! I think this movie's message came across very strongly and effectively, friendship that can be born out of accepting others for their differences and being yourself. The animation, back ground and compositing were all beautiful too and I would recommend this film to everybody!

Maya is one of the most delightful and sparkling characters to come out of a kids film in a long time. In a way reminiscent of Miyazaki's youngest heroine's this little bee stands up to authority and keeps just asking questions.The movie is spectacularly beautiful. There is a rich meadow world that comes alive. My two girls were spellbound for the whole film. The 4 year old can get scared easily in films (the poster of The Boxtrolls was enough to scare her) but she was happily cheering Maya on. The whole bug world comes alive in song and dance that is so charming - the girls were singing all afternoon.There was enough humour for grownups too. There are a couple of ants (voiced by the Umbilical Bros) that really steal the show. Jackie Weaver as evil Buzzlina had just the right amount of scare and fun in her portrayal. The other voices, Richard Roxburgh and Noah Taylor, etc. did such a great job.Take your kids, it's a great time at the movies.
