Patreon Request: Maya the Bee (2014) Review



Originally a Patreon request by JD.  

PopArena's Maya the Bee retrospective: https://youtu.be/WDo9OQyW7J8?si=WtoYQF88OMRxAh_i

The first in a trilogy of movie requests by this person, but I know almost nothing about this franchise.  So let's see if this pays off like Tales of Arcadia did...in either sense.

  1. The fact that this franchise was created by nazi kind of reminds me that shows like Fat Albert and Little Bill were created by Bill Cosby who was a rapist. It also reminded me that Ren & Stimpy was created by John Kricfalusi who was a child predator.

  2. I think Phantom Strider put this "cartoon" on his Worst German Cartoons List.

    1. That...doesn't make any sense.

      Like, yes, the book was created by a German Nazi, but while the first series was based on it, it's definitely Japanese, and this one is French/Australian.

    2. Might've been The Worst French Cartoons List. I Could be mixing them up. Amusingly, he put Dinosaur King on a List of Chinese Cartoon Rip-Offs.

  3. As one of the old guys on the web, I remember the Maya the Bee cartoon on Nick Jr. Didn't know until this review about it's background though.
