Based on how the crowd reacted at just the mention of the film, the conversation surrounding Bee Movie isn't likely to stop any time soon.Bee Movie is a 2007 American computer-animated comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Seinfeld has been largely silent on all of this controversy and all the Bee Movie memes on the Internet, so seeing him address it should bring a smile to those familiar with the jokes. The film was supposed to be about conservation, the importance of bees and other small animals, and treating the world with respect. It's also because including those elements takes away from the film's message, which is an important one. This isn't only because a romance between a woman and a bee would be highly inappropriate and it's weird to include that in a children's film, though that element is certainly part of it. The seemingly romantic elements of the film have long been criticized and are often joked about online. For example, she does leave her boyfriend because he attacks Barry.

Throughout this, his relationship with Vanessa does blossom and while it may be intended to be friendship, there are points it could read as romantic. After learning this he is extremely angered and feels that humans are exploiting bees, so he sues the human race in hopes of stopping honey consumption. He meets and befriends a florist named Vanessa, voiced by Renee Zellweger, and learns that humans farm bees for honey. In Bee Movie, Seinfeld voices a bee named Barry B. The actual plot of the film though is quite a bit more elaborate and meaningful than these memes would lead people to believe. It also for whatever reason became a popular thing to have the entire script of the film printed on things like mugs and shirts. Besides the weird romantic undertones, several lines of the film have become so popular they're practically catchphrases at this point.
