Bee Movie made by DreamWorks is the newest animated kids film on the market, at least until Beowulf premieres Friday. It is about a worker bee that just graduated bee college and will now make honey for his hive. On a trip outside of the hive, Barry B. Benson (the worker bee), has his life saved by a florist named Vanessa in New York City. Benson befriends Vanessa and discovers that humans are mass consumers of his honey. Benson then decides to sue the human race for stealing the bees' honey.

Who comes up with this stuff?
Yes, it is cute that the bee makes friends with a human, and it follows a bees' life. Why does the bee have to sue the humans for stealing the honey? Why are the people in this world spoon-feeding our children that it is okay to have frivolous lawsuits?
All of the previews that I have seen and reviews said nothing about this movie being political or has anything to do with law suits until I was in there watching it on the big screen.
All of this political kid movie stuff started with Happy Feet last December. The penguin, Mumble, was a dancing penguin instead of a singing one. His group blamed him for the lack of fish, so he went and discovered that the humans (aliens) are stealing all of the fish. At the end of the movie, the U.N. makes decisions to stop fishing around the Antarctica to give the penguins back their food supply.
I was angry when I finished watching Happy Feet. I thought it was about a dancing, outcast penguin, not about brainwashing our society and children that the U.N. can fix all of the problems in the world, and humans will eat less fish because of it. I am sure that all of the animal activists were proud to see this movie, but not me.
I feel the same way about Bee Movie.
Even rottentomatoes.com says that, "50 percent liked it. Has humorous moments, but is mostly forgetable."
What makes this okay to present to our children that we can suffer without honey and fish, so the animals can do whatever they want? Are we no longer the dominant species? We are catering to the animals now? I think not. I think the kid movie makers should stick with their aliens like Lilo and Stitch and their princesses like in Cinderella with love, joy and laughter.

Yes Bee Movie screams brainwashing as it has lots of references to the flaws of both socialism and communism, including the bee structure, having to work forever, the prevailing concept that society will fall apart if they adopt this ideology and that stopping exploitation will make society fall apart... To think it might have been funded by the right wing agenda...
Extra note that I also agree with your concept of throwing the legal system into children's lives, however I believe this is due to the concept that right wing fanatics are using the justice system inappropiately to get out of trouble. Bill of Rights and so on.
