‘Man vs Bee’ Director David Kerr Details Working With Rowan Atkinson, CGI Bee: ‘It’s Moby Dick in Miniature’

“I am a bit of a perfectionist,” Atkinson said. “But I’m a great believer that perfectionism is as much a disease as it is a quality. I mean, I think it can be quite corrosive, it’s a thing that can just give you stress, when, actually, very
