Maya the Bee Movie Will Be Buzzing On to Blu-Ray 3D Combo Pack and DVD May 19th

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Maya is a little bee with a big heart. She dreams of an exciting life of freedom, fun and adventure – the world is simply far too interesting to stay inside a hive! Her funny attempts to fit in bring her into trouble with the Queen’s narrow-minded royal advisor, Buzzlina. With her best friend Willy, Maya buzzes out into the meadow on an exhilarating adventure of self-discovery.

While most bees believe that other insects should be feared, Maya can’t help but make friends with Flip the charismatic and eccentric grasshopper, Kurt the dung beetle and even Sting, a young hornet. But when the Queen’s royal jelly is stolen, it will take Maya and all of her bug buddies to figure out who did it and how to save the day!

One of the best-known and beloved children’s brands of all-time, the stories of Maya The Bee have been passed down among generations of families for years. Originally a German children’s novel by Waldemar Bonsels, The Adventures of Maya the Bee was published over a hundred years ago in 1912. Since the original publishing, the book has been translated into many other languages and enjoyed by children all over the world. In addition to the book, Maya The Bee is also a comic book series, appeared in various iterations as animated series and now a major animated feature film.

Check out the adorable trailer here: 

We got the opportunity to check out “Maya the Bee Movie” for ourselves, and I have to say, my littles were super excited. They love Maya, and were thrilled to join her on her adventures. 

I am sure they could even relate to the story. You see, Maya was initially suspected of being a Royal Jelly thief, and she had to work hard to prove her innocence. In my home, this is a daily occurrence. When you have siblings close in age, there’s a lot of tattling and even truth-bending to try and get one another in trouble. 

Anyway, this story is absolutely wonderful, and great for the whole family. My husband and I found it to be entertaining, which is a nice treat. I couldn’t persuade my 15 year old son to give it a shot, though. This is not to do with the film, though. It’s just because teenagers are weird, finicky creatures. 

There are also some really fun bonus features included with this Blu-Ray 3D Combo Pack.. Our favorite has to be the Blooper Reel. This had my children laughing till they almost passed out. Sophie even got a case of the hiccups. 

I would definitely recommend “Maya the Bee Movie” to anyone who wants to see a heartwarming story full of friendship, laughter, and fun.
