Of course, “Bee Movie” was made for children, not for film critics, but many cult classic kids movies like “ Shrek” and “Inside Out” have garnered much more acclaim.
It received a 54 out of 100 on Metacritic and a 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. But overall, it wasn’t a hit with movie critics.
“Bee Movie” grossed nearly $300 million worldwide after its initial theatrical release in 2007, and it was a 2008 Golden Globes nominee for the best animated film. But no mediocre kids film stands out more than “Bee Movie,” which in recent years, has become an iconic part of internet pop culture. “Shrek,” “Cars” and “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” are just a few of the many bizarre animated movies produced in the 2000s.
As a kid, there were few things more entertaining than vibrant movies with nonsensical and comedic plots.
