* RealPlaceBackground: The film is set in Washington, DC, and many Washington landmarks are visible.



* SceneryPorn: Various scenes involving the bees flying over Washington landmarks, including the White House and Capitol Building. The Washington Monument appears in the background of various scenes.

to:

** The 3D animation seems to have been made in a free engine, probably Blender, with little attention to detain except on the bee's body's.
** Almost no regard has been made for the subtlety of the lighting; it appears either to be overly harsh and bright, as in most of the outside scenes, or too dark, as inside the hive, or a mixture of both.
** The character designs are awful; it's clear they started out with a single bee model (probably Bing), and changed the eye colour, facial structure, and other minor features to make the bees distinguishable. Joey appears merely to have just been stretched along the sagittal plane.
** Most of the alleged 'backgrounds' are clearly JPEG images (and low-resolution ones at that) inserted behind the action as separately as a painted background at a school play.
** The voices are either sarcastic or overly enthusiastic, and many have very strong American accents. Paired with the repeated moaning noises, it sounds very strange.
** The soundtrack is good, though. It might take itself a bit too seriously.

* UncannyValley: The bees are ''extremely'' unnerving to looks at due to their ugly facial features and lack of semblance to actual bees.
