Maya the Bee Movie Page #4

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.

help here, guys!

You flap your wings, I'll steer.

- Why do you get to steer?

-Don't leave me!

We're coming!

Grab him!

Don't worry, we'll save you!

Bees!

You follow and you follow

and you don't give up.

And that, my friend, is the key

to being a great tracker.

You know, Barney,

you are so full of--

Shh! I'm definitely

picking up bee vi...

Vibes.

It's pronounced vi...

Vi... Hey!

Hey.

Respect, Brother Sun.

We gratefully

accept your bounty.

- Say hello, my children.

-Hello!

Now, where were we?

Oh, yeah!

Bright lights...

- We were going round and round.

-And round, and round...

That was close.

Next time you

save someone's life,

try not to kill them.

Saved by a

pair of bee-babies...

- What's Dad gonna say?

-"Thank you?"

You don't know my Dad.

And we don't want to.

Leave him, Maya.

No, Willi, wait.

We can't just leave

him here like this.

Maya, we need to find

Jitterbug Hollow

before it gets dark.

Wait, Jitterbug Hollow?

It's near my camp.

- I can take you.

-We don't need your help.

We know exactly

where we're going.

Somewhere that way!

- You mean into Gorgo's land?

-Gorgo?

If you get me out of here

I'll show you the way.

No, Maya.

It's a trap.

But Willi, he knows the way.

And there's a party, remember.

- I bet there's pollen...

-PoHen?

...and buttercups...

- Let's go!

-...and nectar!

Come on, let's go!

What are we waiting for?

What about your dad?

Won't he be worried?

My Dad worried?

He's, like, the

toughest guy ever.

My boy... where is he?

Ah, boss?

- Something in my eye.

-Look!

Turn around, daisy-sniffers!

You're on hornet turf!

Bee turf!

You paper-chewers

have until first light to

leave our meadow.

Oh, really?

Hornets budge for no bug.

What do you

think of that, huh?

You'll see.

Get out of here before

I de-fuzz the lot of you!

You've been warned.

There will be consequences.

Who's afraid of those

striped puff-balls?

Keep looking! Son!

Son!

Son!

I've got it.

Ha-ha!

- Mine!

-No, mine!

Mine...

Gimme, gimme!

I saw it first!

Hornets...

Okay, okay, okay.

Remember our training.

Touch nothing.

Leave everything

exactly as we found--

Oooh...

Maybe they won't notice.

Jitterbug Hollow!

Dragonfly rides!

Dragonfly rides!

Get your dragonfly rides here!

Awesome.

- Want a ride, kid?

-Maybe later.

Anytime.

Well? So where

is this Flip?

It's starting.

- Ladybugs and garden pests!

-Look!

Welcome to Jitterbug Hollow!

Hit it, Mozz!

Let's get some melody!

Now... bugbox!

Let's hear it for the misfits!

What an audience

we've got tonight.

Worms, gnats,

crickets, horseflies.

Why the long faces?

- Any bugs here from out of town?

-Me, Flip!

- Hey, Flip, it's me!

-Welcome, little one.

- Did they give you a name yet?

-Maya.

Maya? I like it.

What brings you

to Jitterbug Hollow, Maya?

Well, you said if I ever had a

question I should come to you.

Ask away.

We're all friends here.

Where do I belong, Flip?

Oh, an easy one.

Last I checked, bees

belonged in hives, Maya.

They don't like me back there.

I'm just too different.

Please, Flip, you need to

teach me how to live out here.

In the meadow.

Here. Hold this.

Maya, the answers

you seek are in here.

Step inside the magic flower

and be transformed

into the bug that

everyone loves!

Behold the mysteries

of the meadow

as I transform Maya.

You say ci-cay-da,

I say ci-cah-da...

Well, little buzzer,

how do you feel?

Huh? Hey!

I'm still the same.

Exactly.

You don't need my help.

- Huh?

-Just be yourself

and you'll make it anywhere.

Let's make this little buzzer

feel welcome.

The grass is always greener

in some other insect's yard.

Just look across

the big fence now

You'll see it's not so hard!

It's not so hard!

It's easy to let those big bees

make you feel

a little bit small.

Just keep you head

held high now.

Now don't you feel...

taller than tall?

- It don't matter what they say!

-It don't matter!

Find that rhythm in your heart!

Just bee yourself every day!

Shake your bee-hind all about!

Shake-shake... Shake it out...

Shout it out!

And bee yourself every day!

Ask your new friends

around you!

they flew from near and far!

We come from the

same bug family!

And we love you

the way you are!

Life's all about the

bugs who love you!

Good friends can

be hard to find...

Red beetle, blue beetle!

Big smelly dung beetle!

It don't matter what

their kind!

It don't matter what

they say!

Find that rhythm in your heart!

Just bee yourself every day!

- Shake your bee-hind all about.

-Shake, shake! Shake it out!

Say it loud, shout it out,

and bee yourself every day!

Remember, Maya:

What goes in must come out.

"Laaaa!"

"Laaaa!"

I wanna sing songs.

I want to be free.

I wanna be me.

- I'm Maya the Bee-eel

-Maya!

I am Maya the Bee!

You're a star, Maya.

C'mon. I'll show you

how to move your bee-hind.

You. Me. Dancefloor.

Sing out loud!

Shout it out!

- And bee yourself!

- Son!

Yeah!

Away from that bee! Now!

What has she done to you?

My Buzzywump is the

bee-hatingest

hornet in the meadow.

Undo your evil hive magic.

I'm warning you.

Your name is "Buzzywump"?

It's a good name.

Dad, I can explain.

She and him...

They kinda sorta...

saved my life.

But it's not like we're

friends or anything.

I'm sensing a lot of tension

here. You're all bugged out.

Done to pieces.

Are you eating properly?

Come on, Hank,

she saved your boy.

This happy hopper just saved

you a stinging, bee-nut!

But keep away from my son.

Oh, boy,

you are so grounded.

Any more grounded

and you'd be a worm.

It's okay.

He's just a mixed-up

little bug like you were.

He'll learn.

I hope so.

- Royal Adviser?

-Yes?

I mean, come in!

Did you...

-give the hornets my message?

-They won't leave the meadow...

- Ma'am.

-ExceHenL

Dismissed, sergeant.

Crawley?

Yes, Your Sneakiness?

I mean Your Schemingness.

It's time.

You brought this on

yourself, old buzzer.

I wish there were another way.

We need...

a strong leader.

And you are just...

too weak.

Crawley? Are you thinking

what I'm thinking?

It depends on what you're

thinking, Your Thinkyness.

Your Majesty!

Nice legwork, Mr. Centipede.

See you next time.

Alright, you flies.

No more eating vomit.

Oh, there you are.

Come on.

Flip is ready to take us home.

I am home, Willi.

- Here? In the meadow?

-This is where I belong.

With stink bugs and

smelly, stinky hornets?

No. With all bugs.

With all bugs

except me, huh?

Don't be cross.

I'll visit you.

Why would you visit

boring old Willi

in his boring old hive

when you've got all this?

I put my stinger

on the line for you.

- And this is how you thank me?

-But, Willi...

With all your new bug friends

I guess you won't need

poor old Willi anymore.

Don't be silly.

Stay with me.

There's an old bee saying:

"You can always

count on a friend."

But I guess I got that

one wrong, too.

Willi!

Willi!

Son, I know you think

you like that bee,

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…
