While the Notre Dame fire has mostly resulted in destruction, a beacon of light shines in the distance. A light which may give hope to all those affected. A light in the form of the Bee Movie.
People rejoiced when they heard the news that the 200,000 bees living in hives on the cathedral roof, who were initially thought to have perished in the blaze, actually survived. Because of their lack of lungs [Note: the writer was very unaware that bees didn’t have lungs and was promptly horrified], the bees weren’t bothered by the smoke, and lived to fly another day.
Because of this good news, DreamWorks has revealed that they will be making a sequel to the beloved Bee Movie.
‘It’s going to be a tribute to the bees of Notre Dame,’ said Jeffrey Small, the current head of DreamWorks, ‘This time, it’s not going to be about a supposedly sane woman who leaves her actual husband for a bee. This time it’s going to be an apocalyptic movie. Barry B. Benson finds himself in the blazing fires of Notre Dame, and watches all of his friends die. Yeah, that’s not what really happened, but we need the drama! We’re sure everyone will love this, especially the bees!’
Nicolas Géant, the man who has looked after the cathedral's three beehives since 2013, stated, ‘I don’t want a Bee Movie. No one wants this. A Bee Movie is not a sign of victory. Please leave my bees alone.’
The gargoyles will be replaced with bee statues, according to certain sources
