“MAYA THE BEE MOVIE” Synopsis
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!
