BEE MORE - Inspirational Bumblebee

Bumblebee - CC Transformers South Africa

Bumblebee, the movie: It's 1987, 20 years before the events of the first Transformer movie. Charlie, an 18-year old not so ordinary girl, discovers a yellow beetle in the local junkyard of a small California beach town. Her dad, who has taught her how to work on cars, has died, and together with a scared and broken Bumblebee they are able to help each other. The antagonists are Sector 9 (a government Agency led by Agent Burns) as well as the Decepticons from Cybertron. See the Trailer

Bumblebee released here on 21 December, and it's still on the circuit. The whole family loved this movie. Most kids can identify with Charlie. She is a worthy female role model for our girls. We, Hubby and I,  also downloaded the Bumblebee soundtrack and has been listening to all the eighties music. We love the eighties time period of the movie.


The movie has been graded for fans from 10 years and older. They are very strict now with the age restrictions. Luckily Miss Fine just made the mark. 

The character of Bumblebee inspires fans to be more when they need motivation and courage. Educational Psychologist, Melanie Hartgill, has put together a list for parents, teachers and caregivers on how to help kids embrace kindness, fearlessness and confidence. To be the BEST they can BE!

Lessons from Bumblebee on how to BEE MORE 

Melanie Hartgill

•    Remember to praise your children for their efforts and continuously reinforce positive behaviour.
•    Show your children that the effort they put in is more important than whether they win or lose.
•    Remind children that if they are going to do something, they should always do it to the best of their ability.
•    If you are always working towards a goal or a dream, you will immediately be in a better place than where you started.
•    Never stop being curious and continue to try out new and unfamiliar opportunities. With so many things to do and learn from - you never know what you are capable of until you try.
•    It’s important to maintain balance - with time to learn, time to play, time to relax, time to socialise and time to be active being equally important.
•    No one succeeds at everything all the time, failure is an important part of the learning and growing process – focus on this rather than getting caught up in the disappointment.
•    Aiming for perfection is not realistic, rather work to the best of your ability and seek help in the areas you are struggling with.
•    Everyone needs help sometimes, don’t be afraid to ask.
•    Most importantly - always believe in yourself and your ability to achieve.
