Question: is akeelah and the bee a disney movie?
Answer: Akeelah and the Bee is probably not one of Disney's most memorable films. That's probably because it's not a Disney film at all! ... Released in 2006, the Lionsgate/2929/Starbucks film boasts a star-studded cast which includes Angela Bassett, Laurence Fishburne, and Keke Palmer.
