Actor/Comedian Chris Rock, who also serves as a voice in the film, will emcee the event from the end of the Carlton Pier. The day begins with a presentation at the Miramar Theater where DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, directors Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner and producer Christina Steinberg will host an exclusive presentation showcasing select scenes from their upcoming animated comedy, "Bee Movie." ABOUT: Seinfeld's first major project since his iconic self-titled television series, "Bee Movie" is indeed a labor of love for the actor/comedian, as he not only voices the lead bee, Barry B. Benson, but also serves as screenwriter and producer. MOVIE: "Bee Movie" is a comedy that will change everything you think you know about bees. Having just graduated from college, a bee by the name of Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice -- honey. As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa (Renee Zellweger). He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bees' honey for centuries, and ultimately realizes that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race for stealing their precious honey.
