Voice cast

Cast notes

Megan Mullally was originally voicing the Trudy and had even recorded her lines, but this character was cut from the film. Seinfeld still wanted her to have a part in the movie, so he gave her the role of the Honex Tour Guide. At one point, Uma Thurman, Rebecca Soler, Lisa Kudrow, David Letterman, and Raven Symone were all attached to the film, but they dropped out for various reasons.

Production

Production on the project began when Jerry Seinfeld sat down to have dinner with acclaimed director Steven Spielberg. Over dinner Seinfeld joked about making a movie about bees. Spielberg, however, took the idea very seriously and prompted Seinfeld to pursue the joke. Eventually, Seinfeld was sold and thus began a script. But Seinfeld did not envision it the former cg film it is. Seinfeld actually released two trailers for the movie, but in live action. After widespread disgust, Spielberg suggested to "make it a cartoon".

Reception

Though Bee Movie was nominated for a Golden Globe, reviews were mostly mixed. Many critics claimed it had it's funny moments, but never delivered any true memorable moments. The film currently holds a 51% approval rating on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Imdb gives it a more sympathetic 6.2 rating for the movies efforts.
