Jerry Seinfeld and The 'Bee Kids' Spread 'Bee Mania' Around New York And
Across the Nation
The DreamWorks Animation Film Debuts November 2
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Hold on to your honey.
DreamWorks Animation's "Bee Movie" is hitting the streets of New York City
with a brand new music video. Altering the title of the Go-Go's "We Got The
Beat" to "We Got The Bee!" -- the video features kids from all across the
Big Apple, who take to the streets of Manhattan to spread "BeeMania"
everywhere.

"We Got The Bee" makes its world premiere on Nickelodeon Monday,
October 8th at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) and can be accessed live on BeeMovie.com,
DWA.com and Nick.com.
Convincing 100 kids to dress up like bees was the easy part, but
getting them to every corner of New York City was a bigger challenge for
Dreamworks Animation.
The solution: "The Bee Bus" -- a fully operational school bus painted
in black and yellow stripes with two giant antennae and a huge stinger on
the back.
"The Bee Bus" and its cargo of "Bee Kids" painted the town black and
yellow, spreading the words of Barry B. Benson -- "Think Bee!" They painted
black stripes on yellow taxis, plastered "Think Bee" on empty walls and
turned black and white crosswalks into a "Bee Crossing!" Even Times Square
and the Empire State Building got a fresh coat of color. Black and Yellow
-- Hello!
Along for the ride was Jerry Seinfeld, the star and creative force
behind "Bee Movie," which opens nationwide on November 2. Seinfeld met up
with the "Bee Bus" at Shea Stadium to help the "Bee Kids" spread "Bee
Mania" to all the Mets team players -- including all-star infielder David
Wright.
The video climaxes with a huge dance routine performed by the "Bee
Kids" and the main characters from the film -- Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld),
Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), Adam (Matthew Broderick) -- who all got to shake
their stuff! But you don't have to be in "Bee Movie" to spread "Bee Mania"
-- everyone is invited to 'sting' along!
"We Got The Bee" was directed by acclaimed music video director Vem who
has made videos for The Click Five and John Mayer. The song is performed by
Alice Cohen with Hudson Soundlab NYC.
From creator Jerry Seinfeld comes DreamWorks Animation's "Bee Movie," a
comedy that will change everything you thought you knew about bees. Take a
closer look at the world of these busy creatures through the eyes of one
bee in particular -- Barry B. Benson (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jerry
Seinfeld). A recent college graduate, Barry wants more out of life than the
inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City
-- a job at Honex producing honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out
of the hive, and soon encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When
Barry inadvertently meets a spirited Manhattan florist named Vanessa
(Oscar(R) winner Renee Zellweger), he breaks one of the cardinal rules of
beedom -- he talks to her. A friendship quickly develops, and Barry gets a
crash course in the ways of the human race. When he discovers that anyone
can buy honey right off the grocery store shelf, he is shocked that people
are stealing the bees' unique creation and making money from it. Outraged,
he decides to avenge this injustice by suing the human race.
