Storyline

Freshly hatched bee Maya is a little whirlwind and won't follow the rules of the hive. One of these rules is not to trust the hornets that live beyond the meadow. When the Royal Jelly is stolen, the hornets are suspected and Maya is thought to be their accomplice. No one believes that she is the innocent victim and no one will stand by her except for her good-natured and best friend Willy. After a long and eventful journey to the hornets hive Maya and Willy soon discover the true culprit and the two friends finally bond with the other residents of the opulent meadow.

Trivia

The first version of this story was made in 1925 with its writer, Waldemar Bonsels assisting the production. Produced in Germany and released under the title, "Die Biene Maja und ihre Abenteuer" and released in Britain as "The Adventures of Maya". It used micro-photography of real insects to tell the story. The last remaining nitrate 35mm print of the British version is owned by a Scottish archive who made a super 8mm reprint in 2000. See more »

Great fun for the little ones!
27 October 2014 | by (Sydney) – See all my reviews

Wow what an amazing little movie! So glad my kids got to watch this, it's exactly what you hope it's going to be - it has singing, dancing and a lovely story about friendship and finding yourself. It's really nicely made in 3D with good voice acting. I can't believe this movie is Aussie? Very proud! The story is centred around a little Bee girl called Maya - who my friends tell me is a very popular character in Europe and is showing here on telly. She is really sweet and outgoing and wants to be friends with everyone and assumes the best of everyone. I won't spoil this for you but it's got good humour and some more modern jokes. The little ones followed it enough to figure out what was going on and stayed focused for a change! Definitely recommend this to all parents looking for something safe & fun - and I also got a few laughs myself.
