18 Jan Movie Review: Maya The Bee 3: The Golden Orb
Full review see Maya The Bee 3
Maya The Bee 3: The Golden Orb is an animated movie about a little girl bee named Maya who is headstrong, brave and determined. It is a cute movie which shows that insects often vie over territory but concludes that it is better to live and work together in harmony. The movie is suitable for all ages, however, very young children might be concerned that Maya is often in peril, therefore parental guidance is recommended for children under 5.
The main messages from this movie are bravery and courage and to find ways to resolve conflict, other than fighting.
Values in this movie that parents may wish to reinforce with their children include:
- A strong female lead character.
- Kindness.
- Forgiveness.
- Helping those in need, even your enemies.
- Respect for others.
- Finding.
- Teamwork.
This movie could also give parents the opportunity to discuss with their children attitudes and behaviours, and their real-life consequences, such as:
- Why did the beetles want to prevent Maya and Willy reaching their goal?
- Maya helped one of the beetles when she was in danger and in return, the beetle persuaded the other beetles to find another way to resolve their differences, rather than by attacking them.
