Line #10 YMMV/BeeMovie


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Barry Flies Out" and Music/SherylCrow's rendition of "[[Music/TheBeatles Here Comes the Sun]]".
2	* 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.
3	* CrossesTheLineTwice:
4	** Barry wins the case by asking if nature intended for Bees to be "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything honey slaves to the WHITE MAN?!?]]" It's surreal enough to be at least little funny, but then the one black lawyer on the opposition awkwardly scoots his chair away from the other lawyers and Montgomery, who are all white. Even more so when Montgomery angrily whispers "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything He's playing the species card!]]"
5	** Part of the montage after Barry's ban on bee-harvested honey is put into effect shows animal control ''tranquilizing Franchise/WinnieThePooh''.
6	** An elderly woman being held down by police simply for putting honey in her cup of coffee. She also says “I can’t breathe!”
7	** A woman's shower is interrupted by Barry and the police for using shampoo that's made from honey.
8	* 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.
9	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ken's role in the film is really small but he leaves an impression due to being played by Creator/PatrickWarburton and being [[UnintentionallySympathetic bizarrely sympathetic]].
10	* 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. Particular moments include when Ken jested with Barry while trying to murder him and when Montgomery gets stung by Adam.
11	* HypeAversion: Promotion up the wazoo is probably one of the main reasons that the movie wasn't as successful as hoped.
12	* JustHereForGodzilla: Fans of Jerry Seinfeld and not the memes just want to see him animated.
13	* MemeticLoser: The fans of the movie - both ironic and otherwise - love mocking Ken. History does not speak of many men who were [[ARareSentence cuckolded by a bee.]]
14	* MemeticMutation: [[Memes/BeeMovie Ya like memes? Here's a list.]]
15	* MST3KMantra: So much artistic license that it’s best just to ignore it and enjoy the movie.
16	* NoYay: The friendship between Barry and Vanessa is great. The possible romantic shipping between a human being and a small talking bee? No way. Even actor Jerry Seinfeld was against the romantic implications of Barry and Vanessa's relationship.
17	* OneBookAuthor: Jerry Seinfeld’s only notable movie role.
18	* OneSceneWonder: Creator/RayLiotta and Music/{{Sting}} AdamWesting during the trial.
19	* SignatureScene: Barry introducing himself to Vanessa, due to his [[Memes/BeeMovie memetic]] line "Ya like jazz?"
20	* SoBadItsGood: One of the most well-known examples in terms of animated movies. The premise is already weird, the execution even more so. But that makes the movie [[FountainOfMemes extremely quotable]].
21	* {{Squick}}: Six words - "Are you her little... ''bed bug?''"
22	* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Say what you want about the script and its insult to biology and the law system, but the actors are clearly giving their all.
23	* UnintentionallySympathetic: Ken is presented as a minor antagonist, Barry's romantic rival who tries to kill him on two occasions, but most audience members end up rooting for him. This is because he comes across as the OnlySaneMan in the movie, repeatedly acknowledging the absurdity of the plot and getting understandably upset when he loses his girlfriend to a ''bee''.
24	* 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.
25	* WatchItForTheMeme: The movie did so-so in theaters, but the huge amount of memes about it prompted a resurgence of popularity in TheNewTens.
26	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Late in 2021, Jerry Seinfeld himself admitted that the somewhat intense sex atmosphere and romantic plot between Barry and Vanessa wasn't appropiate for a kids movie, and apologized for that.
