Sure, The Bumblebee Flies Away had some interesting thematic elements and a neatly placed twist at the end, the over sentimental feel of the script felt like it dragged on for too long. Elijah Wood seemed out of place in his role, considering he looks as old as some of the younger kids in the movie. Nonetheless, despite the misgivings, I will give this little film a 5/10. It wasn't sappy enough to make me egress my dinner, but not great enough to get over its own sad misgivings.
