  Also the message didn’t sit right with me unless I missed a bit. It quite clearly draws parallels between Beekind and slavery/prejudices, and shows the hero overcoming the system and liberating the bees.

  Then at the end “actually slavery good lol”

    I looked at it more like collective bargaining. They all went on strike and got fair pay for their labor

    Many kid movies raise some troubling implications about personhood and moral agency with anthropomorphized non-human characters (Toy Story and life/death/abandonment, what do obligate carnivores in Zootopia eat, etc.).

    But Bee Movie inexplicably just dives right into it instead of leaving it unexplored on the edges. If the bees are fully intelligent beings with rich inner experiences, what moral obligation do we owe them? It’s a mess of a concept.
