The film achieves a level of proficient mediocrity early on and hovers there for the rest of its slender running time.

This sweet, play-it-safe adaptation of TV's honeybee heroine is as innocuous and uninspired as preschool animation gets.

Instead of a regular kids film, this one becomes tirying, squematic and really predictable. [Full review in Spanish]

More harmless than entertaining.

As blandly export-friendly and culturally nonspecific as an airline meal.

Lacks the zingy surprise that Pixar or Disney might have brought.

"Maya the Bee" embodies the kind of self-consciously uplifting treacle some adults insist kids want. They package "Maya" like honey, but it tastes like medicine.

While parents may struggle with the relentless perkiness of the ever giggling baby bee, little ones may get lost in an overly complex story that would have benefited from judicious pruning.

I really loved it. I loved Maya.

The film's messages about friendship, acceptance and being yourself are clear enough for the young, and grown-ups can read the story as a warning about conformity and about going to war on false pretenses.
