TIFF Kids Talk Film: MAYA THE BEE

ScreenAnarchy's tiniest film reviewers will be doing tiny reviews for the TIFF Kids Film Festival currently happening at Toronto's Lightbox Cinema from April 7-19. 

Willem (age 12) and Miranda (age 10) kick off these video micro-reviews with the German/Australian animated 3D CGI film Maya The Bee, adapted from the popular German comic book about the adventures of a free-spirited bee in a conformist beehive.

ScreenAnarchy has been on the Internet long enough that many of its writing staff have children old enough to understand and consume media in a way that is both raw and fresh. It might even come with an inkling of consideration afterwards -- it's true that many of us fall in love with the movies when we are very young.

In the past, Willem and his younger sister Miranda have discussed films ranging from Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox to Jacques Tati's Playtime to George Miller's Mad Max 2: The Road Warror. They also did a 15-part series on Studio Ghibli which can be found in the ScreenAnarchy archives or at the Kids Talk Film Channel on Vimeo.

Maya The Bee screens at TIFF Kids Sunday April 12th at 3:15pm with several repeat screenings  at TIFF Lightbox throughout the festival.
