Who voices Vanessa the florist and her boyfriend Ken in Bee Movie?
Renée Zellweger voices Vanessa Bloome, the New York florist who befriends Barry, and Patrick Warburton voices her tennis-obsessed boyfriend Ken. Ken's escalating hostility toward Barry provides many of the film's biggest laughs.

How much money did Bee Movie make, and why did it become a meme?
It earned roughly $290 million worldwide on a reported budget around $150 million, a middling result for DreamWorks Animation. Years later, internet culture revived it through the 'according to all known laws of aviation' opening line, sped-up or otherwise distorted YouTube edits, and general absurdist fascination with the Barry–Vanessa relationship.
