* JerkassWoobie: Ken may have anger issues, but his girlfriend dumped him for a bee to which he is allergic. However, the fact that he tried to murder Barry, even when he showed politeness to Ken, [[DeconstructedTrope turns this around]].

* CultClassic: The film was a modest financial success on release, but the general initial atmosphere was largely of [[SoOkayItsAverage befuddled ambivalence]] due to its strange premise, questionable writing, and awkward incorporation of celebrity voice talent. Over the years, however, it's since developed cult status in large part due to MemeticMutation, with newer audiences joking at just how bizarre and uniquely quotable it is.

* SoBadItsGood: One of the most well-known examples in terms of animated movies. The [[AudienceAlienatingPremise premise]] is already weird, the [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs execution]] even more so. But that makes the movie [[FountainOfMemes extremely quotable]].

* ValuesDissonance: The notion of working in the same job for your entire life as being an unpleasant prospect is not shared the world over. Indeed, in Japan, the concept of ''shūshin koyō'' ("lifetime employment") is seen as something to aspire to, as it guarantees job security for the rest of your life.

** When Barry visits the Honey Farms hive, he notes how their king is "... a man in woman's clothes. [He's] a drag queen!" This statement could easily be seen as transphobic.

Still mostly seen because of memes, so not vindicated by any means


* VindicatedByHistory: A very unusual example. The HypeAversion caused the film to fade from public consciousness after its theatrical run, but Tumblr fans have kept it fresh again in TheNewTens, albeit in a chiefly ironic way (see MemeticMutation). News of this actually made its way up to Creator/JerrySeinfeld himself, who [[http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/06/jerry-seinfeld-will-not-sully-the-legacy-of-bee-movie-with-a-sequel.html either didn't get the joke or is having fun with it]].

* ValuesResonance: The idea of an entire race suing corporate behemoths for rights to what could be considered their intellectual property is more relevant than it was in 2007, in the wake of creators suing various entertainment conglomerates over the rights to their properties and other battles over IP.

* HamAndCheese: Two of the biggest sources of comedy in the movie are Ken and Layton Montgomery, and a lot of it comes from how much their voice actors, Creator/PatrickWarburton and Creator/JohnGoodman respectively, shout their lines. Particularly moments include when Ken goes on a murder spree against Barry and when Montgomery gets stung by Adam.

* CriticalDissonance: It received mixed reviews from critics who praised its humor and voice cast, but criticized its plot. Nevertheless, the film was a moderate box office success, grossing $293 million worldwide. It has since gathered a cult following, partly driven by memes of the film shared on social media, most notably a reading of the film's entire script.

* HilariousInHindsight: Brazilian actor Lázaro Ramos was the original choice to voice Barry in the Brazilian Portuguese dub, but because of scheduling conflicts, Barry ended up being dubbed by Creator/GuilhermeBriggs. Years later, Lázaro was cast as The Grinch in the Brazilian dub of Illumination Entertainment's [[WesternAnimation/TheGrinch2018 animated adapation]], a character whose [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas previous theatrical counterpart]] was dubbed in Brazil by Briggs.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Zigzagged with Ken. True, he's supposed to be an unlikable JerkJock, but it's a little hard not to sympathize with him for the fact that his girlfriend leaves him ''for a talking bee.'' A bee who, as noted above, actually poses a genuine threat to Ken's safety, given his severe allergy to bee stings. However, Barry never actually tries to attack him and Vanessa leaving Ken for him was of her own choosing rather than Barry manipulating her to leave Ken. That and trying to murder Barry when it’s proved he’s a sentient bee? Dick move, Ken.
