    • Trivia
      According to Jerry Seinfeld, while having lunch at Steven Spielberg's house, he first mentioned the idea for the movie as a joke, but Spielberg loved the idea.
    • Goofs
      Someone claims that the Pasadena parade has the "last flowers in the world." But Barry's lawsuit only affected the USA; bees in other countries are presumably still pollinating flowers as usual.

    • Crazy credits
      Barry stings the fishing boy, causing him to fall away, and then takes his place on the moon in the DreamWorks Animation logo.
    • Alternate versions
      DreamWorks was required by the British Board of Film Classification to remove a sequence of Ken using an aerosol can to form a makeshift flame-thrower on Barry to gain a 'U' certificate. In recent years, the scene was retained uncut at 'U' for Netflix and Blu-ray viewings.

    Humorous
    It was a light hearted-animated-comedy-for the whole family. It taught good values, like take pride in what you do as a person. But it was geared in my opinion toward little kids. I took my 3 cousins (3 years to 8 Years) and they loved it but they wanted to get bees as pets.... try to explaining why a 3 year old can't have a bee as a pet. When i saw the parts in the court room the way the bees moved in sync it was amazing. It has nothing on the original computer generated movie "Shrek". It set all kinds of ground work for newer movies like The Bee Movie. The CG of the bees flying was a pretty cool look how they all flew in droves just like it was an actual bees taking flight. I think that there should be more family friendly films like this one. But, all in all it was a good Flick.
