HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Hold on to your honey. DreamWorks Animation's "Bee Movie" is hitting the streets of New York City with a brand new music video.

"We Got The Bee" makes its world premiere on Nickelodeon Monday, October 8th at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) and can be accessed live on BeeMovie.com, DWA.com and Nick.com.

Convincing 100 kids to dress up like bees was the easy part, but getting them to every corner of New York City was a bigger challenge for Dreamworks Animation.

The solution: "The Bee Bus" -- a fully operational school bus painted in black and yellow stripes with two giant antennae and a huge stinger on the back.

"The Bee Bus" and its cargo of "Bee Kids" painted the town black and yellow, spreading the words of Barry B. Benson -- "Think Bee!" They painted black stripes on yellow taxis, plastered "Think Bee" on empty walls and turned black and white crosswalks into a "Bee Crossing!" Even Times Square and the Empire State Building got a fresh coat of color. Black and Yellow -- Hello!

Along for the ride was Jerry Seinfeld, the star and creative force behind "Bee Movie," which opens nationwide on November 2. Seinfeld met up with the "Bee Bus" at Shea Stadium to help the "Bee Kids" spread "Bee Mania" to all the Mets team players -- including all-star infielder David Wright.

The video climaxes with a huge dance routine performed by the "Bee Kids" and the main characters from the film -- Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), Adam (Matthew Broderick) -- who all got to shake their stuff! But you don't have to be in "Bee Movie" to spread "Bee Mania" -- everyone is invited to 'sting' along!

"We Got The Bee" was directed by acclaimed music video director Vem who has made videos for The Click Five and John Mayer. The song is performed by Alice Cohen with Hudson Soundlab NYC.

From creator Jerry Seinfeld comes "Bee Movie," a comedy that will change everything you thought you knew about bees. Take a closer look at the world of these busy creatures through the eyes of one bee in particular -- Barry B. Benson (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jerry Seinfeld). A recent college graduate, Barry wants more out of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City -- a job at Honex producing honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out of the hive, and soon encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When Barry inadvertently meets a spirited Manhattan florist named Vanessa (Oscar(R) winner Renee Zellweger), he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom -- he talks to her. A friendship quickly develops, and Barry gets a crash course in the ways of the human race. When he discovers that anyone can buy honey right off the grocery store shelf, he is shocked that people are stealing the bees' unique creation and making money from it. Outraged, he decides to avenge this injustice by suing the human race.
