11.08.07Alamo South Lamar I like Seinfeld. I like his show, I like his comic sensibility, and I liked his documentary. So I thought this might be worth watching even though it's very obviously meant for small small children. Ultimately, I found it entertaining. I think I laughed more than the kids did, always at small things clearly meant for adults. It's not Pixar-quality but I liked it more than the Shreks. I liked how the conceit for talking bees was that all animals actually can talk in real life, they just have a rule not to talk around humans. Like that Far Side cartoon with the cows all standing around talking in a field until the lookout yells "car!" and they all get down on all fours and chew grass while the car passes then they get up and continue civilized conversation.

I liked the storyline where bees are pissed at humans stealing all their honey. I guess the only things I didn't like about it were very general and non-specific. I guess it was just a bit too kiddy for me.
