Alternate endings and lost scenes. There are many deleted scenes in various forms of development, and you get to see the various attempts at an ending.

Original live action trailers. The film's original live action movie trailers are shown; they lead into the idea that maybe the film should be animated instead, but they're very funny and showcase Seinfeld's humor and talent.

Jerry's flight over Cannes. This was where Jerry and company staged an elaborate press event, which had him, in a bee costume, flying overhead announcing the movie to the press.

Inside the Hive. This contains behind the scenes interviews with Jerry and the voice talent of Renee Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, Chris Rock, and Patrick Warburton.

Disc Two contains:

"We Got the Bee" Music Video

The Tech of Bee Movie. This takes a look at what went into the animation process and is quite informative.

Dreamworks Music Video Jukebox. This section, especially the Shrek video, was a favorite of my fifteen month old. It features music videos from each of the Dreamworks animated feature films.

Pollination Practice Video Game – a DVD semi-interactive game aimed at kids, which my nine year old enjoyed.

Meet Barry B. Benson - Jerry presents his alter ego through a series of interactive questions.

The Ow Meter. This feature has a pain meter representing various species of humans and bees, which are each rated on a 1-5 scale.

The Buzz About Bees. This is a short documentary about bees that stresses their importance in the Earth's ecological balance.

Also included is DVD-ROM content, which features the game Be A Bee, a demo of the official movie computer game, and numerous printable images of characters from the film.

Bee Movie is a fun animated film that the entire family will enjoy.

Grade B+
