To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I saw this movie with my niece and nephew (2 and 4) and we all loved it! Great strong characters featured throughout although Arnie and Barnie were certainly my favourites getting a laugh out of most of the adults in the theatre. The pink dancing butterflies were a hit with my niece, who is always partial to some singing and dancing in a movie. It was wonderful to see an adventurous, courageous female protagonist with Maya, a great role model for little girls and a strong message for all kids. It was wonderful to hear all the Aussie accents of many well known Australian stars, they really made a solid contribution to the characters. Id recommend this movie for children anywhere from 2-5 yrs and their respective doting aunts :)

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!

Was genuinely pleasantly surprised by this film. "Maya the Bee" is a heartwarming story about a young (bee) girl trying to discover who she is and where she fits in. Obviously the lesson for kids is to be true to yourself and not conform to society, or peer pressure.Maya manages to not be heavy handed in its delivery of this message, and does a great job of delivering on laughs. The characters are vibrant and entertaining - the crazy soldier ants stole the show for my kids, and I think for many others around us. Lots of fun, and definitely recommended to any parents, who will enjoy it as well!

My kids LOVED IT! By kids I mean my Niece and Nephew. They've been recently introduced to Maya the Bee through the TV show, and we were lucky enough to score some tickets to the premiere in Sydney and it was a brilliant day for us. My Niece is 5 and wanted me to find the song on YouTube which we did and she was singing it all the way home in the car - very catchy! This movie is 80 minutes long (I think) and they sat through it with great excitement and really connected to the characters.They loved the ants - won't go into any spoilers but it was a really funny movie and I could hear some cackle from all the grown ups. They went up to the front to dance to the song, although it was too short! The sad moments were quite sad, but needed to form an engaging story. I have German friends who tell me she is their Mickey Mouse and I think she's definitely a character they're growing attached to! So proud this was made in Australia - bring on the Aussie talent!
