Gorgeous, but stupid
proviant4 July 2017
That was the last famous line from this wonderful animation when in the final scene a smart bee trying to educate a butterfly with facts about honey and honeybees, but she just silently flies off.

This is a sweet animation, but making nothing like this wouldn't be allowed today. The film is sweet, but it has pretty heavy moments with loved character dying and couple of others getting killed in brutal sword fight (it's actually amazing how this fight scene with bee puppets are much more authentic and brutal than many live action scenes).

It is mostly an educational film about bees and honey, but it also tells a story about growing up and facing the consequences of your actions and dealing with reality. Something most films (including Estonian ones) are missing now days.

It might be about honey, but it can't always be sweet like honey.
