Bee Movie is a computer-animated film starring Jerry Seinfeld, Renée Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, Megan Mullally, John Goodman, Chris Rock, Kathy Bates, and Patrick Warburton. Produced by Dreamworks Animation, it is directed by Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner, and slated for release November 2, 2007 by Paramount Pictures in the US and December 6th in Australia. Its title is a play on the term "B movie".
Bee Movie is the first motion-picture script to be written by Seinfeld, who co-wrote it with Spike Feresten, Barry Marder, and Andy Robin. The cast and crew include some veterans of Seinfeld's long-running NBC sitcom Seinfeld, including writer/producers Feresten and Robin, and actors Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld character David Puddy), and Larry Miller (the namesake character on the Seinfeld episode "The Doorman".)
Having just graduated from college, a bee by the name of Barry Bee Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice – honey. As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger). He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bees' honey for centuries, and ultimately realizes that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race for stealing their precious honey. Because of this, Barry wins the lawsuit, and all honey in the world is confiscated and returned to the bees. But now, Barry and Vanessa realize that now all the honey in the world is back, every bee has been put out of a job, and thus cannot earn money for their families. Barry also realizes that without bees pollinating the flowers, the plant life is dying. To set things right, he and Vanessa must find a way to re-pollinate the flowers and get the bees their jobs back before the balance of nature shifts for the worse.

Plus they always seem to come in pairs by Disney/Fox etc. Ants and A bug's Life, Nemo and Shark Tale, Happy Feet and Surf's Up...
I love kids movies but I want something new! Or even a new return to the old Disney days.

I remember when I was little and films like Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King were on show. What happened to the good old days?
