Plan Bee is a film(?) that takes the idea of 2007's Bee Movie and makes it about as endearing as an unanesthetized lobotomy. To call this a film is an insult to anyone who has held a camera for more then 30 minutes, to call it art is a crime punishable by the electric chair, as is the theme with Michael Schelp's work.
The animation is reminiscent of the sleep paralysis demons at the end of my bed. The dead eyes of the bees along with their overly expensive mouths gives the impression that one might eat you whole, which would be significantly more entertaining and wholesome then watching this movie(?). The movements are jagged and sudden. They remind me of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which I would be much more willing to show my hypothetical children then Plan Bee.
The voice acting is dodgy at best and nightmare inducing at worst. Bees shout utter nonsense with shrill voices like nails on a chalkboard. It's as if the voice actors were asked to scream bloody murder in the microphone, then were told that its would be "fixed in post". The characters Pistol and The Queen were the worst perpetrators of this, making me and my friend that I was watching this with (so sorry) want to make like Van Gogh. Certain phrases said sound off putting and strangely enough, sexually charged
"Gag me"
"Drain every last drop of fluid"
Things that would make me blush if I watched this with any adult, much less a young child.
Overall, the film is a piece of bottom feeding garbage that should swiftly be set aflame by anyone unfortunate enough to have bought it for almost $10 (yes, this thing costs real money).
