Maya the Bee (promoted theatrically as Maya the Bee Movie) is a 2014 3D German-Australian computer-animated comedy adventure film directed by Alexs Stadermann, loosely based on the 1975 anime Maya the Honey Bee as well as indirectly the German children's book of the same name by Waldemar Bonsels. It features the voices of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Noah Taylor, Richard Roxburgh, Jacki Weaver, The Umbilical Brothers, and Miriam Margolyes. It was released theatrically in Australia on 1 November 2014, and also in United States and Canada on 8 March 2015. Maya the Bee: The Honey Games is a 2018 sequel to the 2014 film and stars Coco Jack Gillies reprising her role as the title character. Directed by Noel Cleary, Sergio Delfino & Alexs Stadermann.

While parents may struggle with the relentless perkiness of the ever giggling baby bee, little ones may get lost in an overly complex story that would have benefited from judicious pruning.

Altogether the best exploration of Australian class conflicts through the medium of animated insects that you're likely to see this year.

Cute bee adventure teaches about inclusion and cooperation.

This sweet, play-it-safe adaptation of TV's honeybee heroine is as innocuous and uninspired as preschool animation gets.

"Maya the Bee" embodies the kind of self-consciously uplifting treacle some adults insist kids want. They package "Maya" like honey, but it tastes like medicine.

The film's messages about friendship, acceptance and being yourself are clear enough for the young, and grown-ups can read the story as a warning about conformity and about going to war on false pretenses.

The film achieves a level of proficient mediocrity early on and hovers there for the rest of its slender running time.

Maya is a little bee with a big heart! Join her on an epic adventure.
