Jerry Seinfeld apologizes for 'Bee Movie' and its 'uncomfortable subtle sexual aspect'

Jerry Seinfeld issued a light-hearted apology for the “uncomfortable” relationship between the two main characters in his 2007 animated film “Bee Movie.”

"I apologize for what seems to be a certain uncomfortable subtle sexual aspect of the Bee Movie," Seinfeld joked. "[It] really was not intentional, but after it came out, I realized this is really not appropriate for children. Because the bee seemed to have a thing for the girl, and we don't really want to pursue that as an idea in children's entertainment."

For those unfamiliar, "Bee Movie" was co-written by Seinfeld, who also did the voice of the main character. The film focused on Barry, a bee, alongside Renee Zellweger, who played a human woman. Part of the plot centers on the friendship that the two characters of different species have. However, upon reflection, many on the Internet have made hay out of the fact that the relationship seemingly gets a bit romantic at times, leading to countless memes about "Bee Movie." Entertainment Weekly notes, though, that the film is about more than the two characters’ relationship. It also has a bit of a legal drama running through it after Barry the Bee sues the human race for exploiting bees for their honey.
