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.
