It was on this day in 2007 that Jerry Seinfeld’s Bee Movie premiered. I was working at B-95 at the time and it was a natural tie-in.  We had a special advanced screening and we gave away tickets to see it. 

My oldest son was 5 when it came out and  I remember him loving the movie.  We watched it on DVD a lot.  There were some great voice talents in the movie, too.  Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Rip Torn, Chris Rock, Renee Zellweger, and many others leant their voices to the film. The film also raised awareness on the importance of bees on the environment.

The soundtrack of the film consists mainly of score pieces by Rupert Gregson-Williams, but does include two pop songs. The first is Sugar, Sugar by the Archies, which was a number one song in 1969. The second was a song that was also released in 1969 – Here Comes The Sun.

It wasn’t the Beatles’ version that appeared on the soundtrack, but a cover by Sheryl Crow. The song is almost a carbon copy of the Beatles’ version. Sheryl does a great job on the song and it is a perfect song for the scene in the movie that accompanies it. No disrespect to George Harrison, because I love his vocal, but Sheryl’s voice almost works better for me.
