“MAYA THE BEE MOVIE” Synopsis
Maya is a little bee with a big heart. She dreams of an exciting life of freedom, fun and adventure – the world is simply far too interesting to stay inside a hive! Her funny attempts to fit in bring her into trouble with the Queen’s narrow-minded royal advisor, Buzzlina. With her best friend Willy, Maya buzzes out into the meadow on an exhilarating adventure of self-discovery.
While most bees believe that other insects should be feared, Maya can’t help but make friends with Flip the charismatic and eccentric grasshopper, Kurt the dung beetle and even Sting, a young hornet. But when the Queen’s royal jelly is stolen, it will take Maya and all of her bug buddies to figure out who did it and how to save the day!
One of the best-known and beloved children’s brands of all-time, the stories of Maya The Bee have been passed down among generations of families for years. Originally a German children’s novel by Waldemar Bonsels, The Adventures ofMaya the Bee was published over a hundred years ago in 1912. Since the original publishing, the book has been translated into many other languages and enjoyed by children all over the world. In addition to the book, Maya The Bee is also a comic book series, appeared in various iterations as animated series and now a major animated feature film.

My Thoughts:
This is a great movie about Friendship and learning to be yourself instead of trying so hard to fit in with others. Maya is an adventurous little bee who is born into a hive full of strict rules. One of the rules is that bees are not supposed to trust hornets. However when little Maya and her friend Willy venture out into the meadow they become friends with a hornet and a few other insects. However when the Queen’s Royal Jelly is stolen the bee’s believe that it was the Hornets who are responsible that the Maya helped them. The only person who believes she is innocent is her friend Willy and the two decide to venture out and find the real culprit. This is a great adventurous movie that teaches kids about friendship and how we are all different in one way or another.
