WIN! with TWT!
Maya The Bee: The Honey Games
Three TWT readers can win prize pack and double passes to the animated
comedy adventure film Maya The Bee: The Honey Games to be released
in cinemas nationally on July 26 courtesy of independent film distributors
Studio Canal.
When Maya accidentally
offends the Empress of
Buzztropolis, she is confronted
with her biggest
challenge yet: to compete
in the prestigious Honey
Games or surrender all the
hive’s honey!
With the Queen counting
on her, Maya must lead a
team of misfit bugs to victory.
Only one problem,
they’ve never won anything,
ever. How will they
take on the infamous Buzztropolis
team, led by Violet,
a young champion bee
with a competitive edge
and a nasty sting?
With her best friends by
her side, the headstrong
Maya will need to learn
the meaning of teamwork
if she is going to have a
hope of winning the Honey
Games and saving her
hive.
Maya the Bee: The Honey
Games flies into cinemas
