Maya the Bee: The Golden Orb

Director
Noel Cleary
Certificate
PG
Running Time
88 mins

Pitched firmly at tots, this is an English-language threequel to the 2014 German-Australian CGI animation spun off from a TV series, which was in turn based on the 1975 anime and German children’s book of the same title.

This time, Maya the perky pollinator and her chum Willi rescue an ant princess and find themselves in the middle of an epic bug battle. If you’re wondering why this one is a PG rather than the usual U, unspecified ‘mild bad language’ is to blame.
