Queen Bea gives a lot of insight into what having a good friend can be like. It shows so many amazing aspects of friendship. It is a very fun storyline with lots of lovely twists and turns.
The storyline follows Bea and her mother taking a trip to Scotland so her mother can work on her book. Meanwhile Bea goes off exploring and meets a fairy named Flora. They form a strong friendship bond and eventually her mother and brother meet Flora and become friends with her as well.
This is a very fun and family-friendly movie with lots of good messages that everyone can relate to and use in their daily life. The storyline is very unique as each time the family goes to see Flora they do something new. The camera work is very good quality and clear. There are many different camera angles that really enhance and bring out the story. Most of the costumes are just common everyday outfits, however, Flora's outfit is not. She has a very cute fairy outfit she wears in every scene that really enhances her character and personality. The background music sets the tone and keeps the story flowing. The characters all develop throughout the film, but the mom makes a dramatic change. She starts out very cranky and rude and, by the end, she is having lots of fun with her family. My favorite moment is definitely when the mother is super worried for her daughter, so when they are reunited it's a very cute and fun moment.
The message of the film is to always be kind to others; being there for them can go a long way.
I give Queen Bea 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Avalon N., KIDS FIRST!

This short film, set in Scotland, is not only filled with whimsy and magic, but it is the telling of a powerful story of how we mother, no matter our age, gender or role in this lifetime. Empowering girls to be curious, compassionate and capable is the film's focus, highlighting themes of motherhood, belief, imagination and the opening up of our heart and the joyful memories of play. Beatrice and her mother, Maren, travel to an artist retreat in Scotland. Maren is a writer and her 8 year old daughter is a budding journalist. As her irritable mother digs deep for inspiration to write her book, Bea is left to her own devices and wanders into the forest to find the most magical of things. Fairies and friendship, imagination and questions, tea parties and play. Bea's Uncle Ray joins them and after finally convincing Maren to experience Bea's expanded world, they all learn lessons about mothering, believing, and love.
