Maya the Bee Movie Page #3

Synopsis: Freshly hatched bee Maya is a little whirlwind and won't follow the rules of the hive. One of these rules is not to trust the hornets that live beyond the meadow. When the Royal Jelly is stolen, the hornets are suspected and Maya is thought to be their accomplice. No one believes that she is the innocent victim and no one will stand by her except for her good-natured and best friend Willy. After a long and eventful journey to the hornets hive Maya and Willy soon discover the true culprit and the two friends finally bond with the other residents of the opulent meadow.

Somewhere in the meadow.

That narrows it down.

I guess we'll need to ask

some bugs for directions.

Maya...

You're so going to get us eaten.

Son!

Son? Son!

Son?

Boy!

Sweet cola cans.

Where's my little nipper got to?

Hey, wake up!

How can you sleep

when my boy's missing?

- What's he missing, boss?

-What?!

No, he's missing!

I can't find him.

He must have

snuck out last night.

Let's move out!

And I mean everybody, out!

I want my boy back!

Son!

Wait, Maya.

I'm hungry again.

Come on, Willi.

We've got to find Flip.

I'm tired.

- You're always tired.

-I'm a growing bee.

I need my sleep.

There's something

under that leaf.

- Maybe it knows where Flip is.

-Maya! What are you doing?

He doesn't look too dangerous.

He's stripy and little like us.

- But kind of shiny, too.

-I'm not little.

- Hello.

-Hey, get your own leaf.

We're looking for a big green

crazy bug called Flip.

- Have you seen him?

-Huh, baby stuff.

I'm looking for...

No, I can't tell you.

Unless

you join my secret

Bug Hunters' Club.

No, Maya.

There's an old hive saying:

"No clubs with strange bugs."

who're you calling

strange, fuzz face?

- We're in!

-I like you.

You've got guts.

Okay. Hold onto your stripes.

Cause I'm hunting the greediest,

most disgustingest

bugs in the meadow.

Honey guzzling soul-suckers.

Oh, yeah!

I want to meet these nice bugs.

No, you don't!

No, she doesn't!

Let's go, Bug Hunters!

Danger calls.

What kind of bug are you,

anyway?

The best kind. Sting.

"Stink-Bug."

Yeah, good one.

- Really, though, what are you?

-What do you think? I'm a...

- Hornets!

-Hornets?

- Son!

-Oh, no. Dad.

- Hornets!

-Really?

Hide, Maya! They'll munch you!

Tell her, Stink-Bug.

Stink-Bug?

I thought he was our new friend.

The hornets got him, Maya.

And we're next!

There's an old bee saying:

"Stay in the hive, stay alive."

These are dark times, bees.

The hive is in grave danger.

Today hornets broke in

and stole our royal jelly.

We must get it back.

The Queen's life depends on it.

But we have no proof.

Crawley, I think the

Queen needs to lie down.

- This way, Your Majesty.

-We mustn't jump to conclusions.

It's time we showed

those grubby hornets

who runs this meadow.

Wait!

Maya and Willi

have disappeared.

They must have gone outside.

I'm no nursemaid.

Babies are your department.

Now if you don't mind

I've got a hive to save.

No. Wait. Wait!

We have to do something.

Please.

Well, tickle my pincers!

I never thought I'd see the day

when a bee would

ask an ant for help.

Oh please, Colonel.

Don't worry, ma'am.

We'll find them.

Men! We're looking

for two baby bees.

Fuzzy, stripey, boogly eyes

and bobbly heads. Get it?

Boogly eyes and

bobbly heads, Sir!

Good.

Bart, Bert, that way!

Tex, Lex, that way!

Troy, Trey, over there!

Arnie...

...and Barney.

- Yes, Sir!

-Reporting for duty, Sir!

- Turn around! No, not you, the--

-Yes, Sir!

- Turn around, you on the left!

-Yes, Sir!

I meant my left!

Your left when you're facing us,

Sir, or when you're facing away?

- Sir?

-Oh, forget it.

Sir!

Forgetting it now, Sir.

Just go...

somewhere over that way.

And don't break anything!

I order you

-not to break anything.

-Yes, Sir!

You can count on us, Sir,

not to break anything.

Sir, Sir yes Sir!

Breaking everything, Sir!

No, we've got to

not break anything.

Not breaking everything, Sir!

- My foot!

-I'll thump you...

- Attention!

-Yes, Sir!

- Just go.

-Yes, Sir!

Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut,

hut, hut, hut, hut, hut...

Sir, request permission

to ask a question, Sir.

Go ahead, soldier.

What was the

mission again, Sir?

Find those little bees!

Round and round and round!

I've got a bad feeling

about this.

And I don't

frighten easily.

Oh, don't be a fluff belly.

They sound tiny.

Hello!

Don't be scared, little ones.

We just need some directions.

Okay. No one there.

Let's go.

Oh, Willi. Come on!

Visitors!

Say hello, my children.

Hello!

Just in time for breakfast.

And I'm hungry.

What about you guys?

We've got some rotten fruit.

So, what brings you

little pollinators

to the House of Moth?

We're, um, looking for

a bug called Flip.

The grasshopper?

Cool!

He'll be cutting loose

at the big party.

A party?

How do we get there?

Easy.

Wait for the sun to set,

then fly straight

till you find a bright light,

and just go round and

round and round...

I think we need

different directions, Willi.

I agree.

Maybe he knows

where the party is.

No, Maya.

That's a dung beetle.

They say one

whiff of that ball

can knock a bee

right out of the sky.

How bad can it be?

Excuse me, Mr. Dung-Roller.

What?

But... nobody ever talks to me.

We're looking for the big party.

I never get invited to parties.

Apparently I've got odor issues.

- You could come with us.

-Oh, thanks, Littlun'.

But not all insects take as

kindly as you to old Kurt.

You go on, though.

Parties usually happen

at Jitterbug Hollow.

I'll show you the way.

First you've got to...

Here, hold this.

So, to get to Jitterbug Hollow,

you follow this trench

then you turn

left at the daisies.

And when you

get to the river,

you've got to follow it all the

way around Gorgo's hedge,

My ball!

Whatever you do,

don't go through Spider Forest!

Go through

Spider Forest, got it.

Maya, you stink.

- You want a hug, Willi?

-No no no.

- No. No!

-Give me a hug!

- Help! Help!

-Come back here, Willi!

- Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut...

-That's it!

Any more huts and

we'd be a village.

Where are we?

Shh! I'm picking up bee vibes.

And something else, too.

Kind of strong-smelling...

Pollen? Is it pollen?

Where there's bees,

there's always pollen.

That's got to be pollen.

Pollen!

Come to Papa!

This doesn't smell like pollen.

And it certainly doesn't

taste like pollen.

"Oh, it's easy, just go

through the Spider Forest."

What kind of sick, twisted

dung beetle was he?

See? I told you, Maya.

The dung got to his head.

- Hi, Bug Hunters.

-Sting Bug!

We're closing in on those

ugly soul-suckers.

Oh,goody.

"Goody?"

There are spiders

and monsters

in this forest, Maya.

Aw! You're not going

to cry, are you?

Anyone would think you

were a bee baby!

Well, er...

Thank you?

Think, Willi.

What is he?

Spiky antennas,

spiky feet, spiky tail.

Just like...

a...

-hornet!

-Where?

Him! There was a picture

just like him in the hive.

But where are

his big red eyes?

And isn't he a bit small?

I'm not small.

Wait a minute.

Hive?

You're bees?

Get back!

Don't suck my soul!

Look!

He's changing colour!

Run, Maya! He's turning

into a spider monster!

A spider what?

Hello, little ones.

- You look lost!

-No, no, no, no!

Care to join me for dinner?

I'm not hungry.

Help! I'm serious!

Help me! Guys?

- We have to save him.

-No, Maya,

- We'll be spider food.

-Not if she can't catch us.

- Hey, what are you doing?

-Four wings are faster than two.

I really need some

Waldemar Bonsels

Waldemar Bonsels (21 February 1880 in Ahrensburg – 31 July 1952 in Ambach) was a German writer. Waldemar Bonsels's most famous work is the children's book Die Biene Maja (Maya the Bee). This work also served the basis for a Japanese animated television series named Maya the Honey Bee in the mid-1970s, as well as a Croatian opera for children written by Bruno Bjelinski, making Bonsels work known to even a great audience. The Opera was staged 2008 in Villach, Austria at the Carinthian Summer Music Festival. "Himmelsvolk" (People in the sky) is a sequel with a more philosophical focus, describing a in mystical terms the unity of all creation and its relationship to God. There are a number of novels and shorter stories dealing with love as Eros and on the higher level of divine love in the spirit of romanticism (Eros und die Evangelien, Menschenwege, Narren und Helden, etc.), with the relationship between man and nature in a simple life unchanged by modern civilisation (Anjekind, etc.) and also including a historical novel from the time of Jesus (Der Grieche Dositos). He travelled extensively in Europe and Asia. Voyage in India (Indienfahrt) is the fruit of one of these travels. Bonsels was an outspoken anti-Semite and expressed his approval of Nazi politics against Jews in 1933, calling the Jew "a deadly enemy" who was "poisoning the culture" in an article which was widely published. more…
