The characters regularly use "beeish" as a direct analogue for "jewish". Mentally replace the word "bee" with the word "jew" in as many instances as you can. Yep.

max4me posted:I think in a interview Seinfeld came up with the title first and then the rest came out. Sometimes it makes sense that a title would be inspiring enough to build a story around. I refuse to believe that "Bee Movie" could ever be such a title, for anyone, in any circumstance.

Pick posted:I think some people were blinded by love of Seinfeld's prior work. I've never seen an episode of Seinfeld in my entire life, so I had no positive bias towards this man going in. In fact, I don't think I've seen him in anything he's done. I find Seinfeld completely unrelatable as an observational comic; he's alienating, like he's remarking on the foibles of an alternate universe I've never visited. I think he tries too hard to find the angle in each topic, warps that topic beyond recognition, and then can't sell the premise convincingly. The courtroom scene actually highlights this incredibly well. All of Barry's arguments in court are completely and transparently disingenuous, with leading questions and irrelevant tangents that he most likely does not give a genuine poo poo about. It's not just an example of him being one of the worst protagonists I've ever seen, but also a perfect microcosm of the faux-indignance towards the imaginary that fills Seinfeld's standup.

Although I do wish more animated films would bring in dedicated voice actors to play major roles, I always appreciate when films at least dig a little deeper than the A-list in search of the right voice. Pixar's pretty good about this. Finding Nemo, for instance: Albert Brooks and Ellen Degeneres are certainly recognizable names, but you wouldn't likely find them as the leads in a blockbuster live-action film. They were brought on because they match their roles well, not because they were going to get butts in seats. Even Hanks and Allen in Toy Story are good matches first and big names second (not that Tim Allen is a big name these days, but you get my meaning).
