BTW, is that the VA in the photo with the bee antennas on his head? Or the creator?

It's....Jerry Seinfeld. You don't know Seinfeld?:confused:

And he's the voice actor and creator.

I think the eyes look a lot like Pixar eyes.

Now, I like insects, but does the world really need yet another computer animated insect movie? Between Antz, A Bug's Life and The Ant Bully, we've already gotten a few.

I know I shouldn't judge it quite yet, but that's what popped into my mind upon seeing this.

That looks pretty interesting. Is there a trailer for this?

That bee looks way too much like Jerry Seinfeld. Seriously.
I'll wait until I know more about this too judge though. By the way, Seinfeld was a great series.

Oh come on people,,, hasn't anyone heard of "thumbnails" for images? Give your image hosts a break, and consider those of us poor folk on dial up :mad:

The design is uninspired (not that Dreamworks was ever that amazing at character design), but I'm still looking forward to this movie. I loved Antz, and based on that podcast from a while back this could be Dreamworks' return to more mature animation.

Is this movie by Dreamworks? Looks like it.

The character designs seem nice. And the plot's original enough.
I'm willing to give the movie a shot.

The woman in that screenshot where she's talking to the bee reminded me of the power-hungry woman from "Over the Hedge".

Even though the designs look fairly "samey", I'm interested in the movie because, hey, it's been partially written by Jerry Seinfeld himself (as well as former Seinfeld writers like Spike Feresten and Andy Robin), plus it's being directed by one of the guys who directed Prince of Egypt, which was very well-done.

I was thinking the same thing. It looks to much like a human. just my two cents.

The animation looks alright. I'm sort of interested in seeing this because I have the feeling the writing might actually be half decent this time around.

Wonderful. Another movie where it's just an actor's face on some CGI creature's body. I'm sure this bee character won't even be a unique character, it'll be Jerry Seinfeld in an bee's body.

Just like Shark Tale. Ridiculous.

Isn't that kind of the point when hiring big name actors?

Well with Seinfeld and Warburton doing voices, I'm sure it will be pretty decent.

I won't jump the gun, but that first pic of Jerry's character and the other been in the suit and glasses may be his lawyer.

Well the issue is that it's not really acting or clever to have a big named celebrity play himself with a character that looks just like him is just cheap and unclever. See... Pixar movies. Big names but seperate characters.

Over the Hedge was very good though.
Also Antz.
And Prince of Egypt.
Sorry your good movies bombed Dreamworks.

Will they do the contest? Will there be a Soup Nazi bee? I guess we'll be seeing David Puddy, so why isn't Elaine and George in this movie?

It's not Seinfeld, it's just Seinfeld-esque humor. And Puddy has been the go to man for VA since the late 90's. I recall from one of his stand up routines where he was like, the bees make honey, and they never receive any compensation for that, so this thing is basically his concept.

Plus, Z from Antz no doubt had Woody Allen's influence, but the majority of parodying his mannerisms were more towards the beginning. Once the main plot got going, the movie focused more on that instead of "Look! An ant is behaving just like Woody Allen!"

Even though it's rather annoying when famous celebrities are put into CG films to the point where their characters look and act just like them, I'd be surprised if the whole movie focused on not-so-subtle "Get it? This is sorta like what happened in a Seinfeld episode, only bees are doing it!" jokes.

Part of me is groaing at another insect CGI movie and another is intrested because it's about bees. I'll give it a shot and hope its not loaded with pop-culture refences.

This is the first I've heard of this. Should be interesting. If there's anything his show taught us, it's that Seinfeld really knows how to tell a story full of engaging twists.

And at least it's not another ant movie. I don't think bees have ever had their own animated movie.
GOB

I wonder if one of the bees will die because they licked too many cheap wedding invitations.

November 2007? I have to wait another year!? Anyway, thanks for the screencaps. I am a huge Seinfeld fan (he's my favorite comedian and Seinfeld is my all-time favorite show), and I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced... what, about four years ago? Glad to finally hear/see something about it and see it's still on the way. Was beginning to think it fell through or something.

EDIT: By the way, are these from a behind-the-scenes/teaser promo that's available somewhere? I'd like to see it.

Also, while I suppose it's likely a mistake, the Bee Movie page at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Movie) has the original Baloo himself, Phil Harris, listed as a voice. I don't know how that's possible, since he passed away in 1995, unless they've gotten permission to use a soundbyte of him from somewhere else? Or is there another actor named Phil Harris and somebody just linked to the wrong one?

This looks absolutely NOTHING like the previous bug movies, so it'd be best to give it a shot.

Then again, if you don't like Jerry Seinfeld or his comedy, you probably wouldn't like it regardless.

I have to agree with the whole "just another movie with celebrities on a computer generated creature's body". It's not a big deal if you're a fan of these people, but I wasn't anyone's fan enough to see Sharktale either. Not to mention another bug movie. I'm gonna do a big ol' passeroo on this. The only times Dreamworks got my money was for Prince of Egypt and Shrek. I really don't plan to see another Dreamworks movie again if I can help it. I'm not counting the Aardman stuff though, but Flushed Away will be the last one they do together anyway, won't it.

The thing about Sharktale is that the main fish character (what's his name?) moves, looks, acts and gestures JUST LIKE Will Smith. In fact, it's just Smith's face - sans nose - on a fish's body. That not creative and it's NOT a unique character.

I liked his show, (mostly because of Kramer), and I saw him in person doing standup once. I had a friend who worked backstage and he confirmed to me the rumors that Seinfeld is a spoiled brat butthole in real life. Not that it matters to me; all I care about regarding celebrities is what they do onscreen. It's just that I'm as burned out on talking critter movies as everyone else. Nonetheless I root for every animated film to do well at the boxoffice (except for Doogal :D ) because I'm an animation fan and I do not want the industry to suffer. So of course I hope this bee movie does well. By the time it comes out I may even go to see it, since I've taken a break from CGI movies in general - I didn't go to see Open Season or The Ant Bully for that very reason - and may feel enthusiastic for them again. But man I'm just aching to see a good 2D movie. The one film I'm really looking forward to is Enchanted. I have high hopes for that one.

LOL!!! Seinfeld rolling down the windshield and over the spray nozzle yelling "Aaaaah, mother--!" was great. However, I just hope people seeing that in the theater don't think that's what the actual movie will look like.

Seinfeld seems to have a way with trailers, though. The one for COMEDIAN was great and, like this, didn't show a single frame from the actual movie.

Given the title, it could very well even be a parody of CGI animal movies.

I'd always hoped that somebody would do a My Big Fat CGI-Animated Movie kind of parody. Maybe this will be it...

Or not...

Another celeb-flick tiny animal movie... didn't we all recently discuss how we're all tired of them?

My only unbiased opinion is that detail looks sub-standard for modern Pixar work, but it is work in progress. I probably won't see it regardless of reviews.
Given the title, it could very well even be a parody of CGI animal movies. Only in that case I would see it. A parody would be great but another Disney-style story would be worn-out and tedious.
