Bee Movie is the comedic tale of Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), a graduate bee fresh out of college, who is disillusioned at having only one career choice: honey. On a rare trip outside the hive, Barry's life is saved by Vanessa (Zellweger), a florist in New York City. As their relationship blossoms, he discovers humans are mass consumers of honey and decides to sue the human race for stealing bees' honey, the trade paper reported. Steve Hickner (The Prince of Egypt) is directing with Simon J. Smith (Shrek 4-D), who is making his feature film directorial debut.
