Europe’s most prolific “re-watcher” has been revealed as a mom and baby who watched “Bee Movie” 357 times this year.
Netflix revealed one unnamed UK user as Europe’s most prolific “re-watcher,” and now her identity has been revealed.
Gemma Chalmers, 29, told how the 2007 movie about a bee which sues humans for stealing honey is the “only thing” that will stop her baby from crying.
Professional cleaner Chalmers, 29, only discovered the film soothes 6-week-old Jaxson by accident.
Chalmers told how the toddler fixates on the bright yellow and black colors in the film.
And ever since, she has watched the flick three or four times a day.
Chalmers, from Scotland, said: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw the Netflix story, my friends were tagging me in posts saying – this has to be you.”
“I am 100 percent sure that it’s me they’re talking about and if they traced the IP address I am confident it would come from my house.”
“I calculated it and think that it might even be more than 357 times.”
Chalmers revealed how Jaxson, now 10 months old, first became obsessed with “Bee Movie” in March.
She said: “My mom accidentally put the film on when he was crying one day.”
“She pushed the controller and it started to play, but remarkably Jaxson stopped crying immediately.”
“He watched it from beginning to end completely fixated. When it stopped, he cried, so we put it back on.”
“Ever since, we’ve watched it multiple times a day to keep him happy.”
Chalmers used to be a fan of TV soap operas, but cannot remember the last time she watched one.
She said: “I can only ever watch TV when Jaxson is asleep. He watches the film from the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep at night.”
Chalmers is now haunted by the film starring Jerry Seinfeld and has tried other movies – but nothing else works.
She said: “I know every word of that film. I am completely fed up with it. We’ve tried ‘Cars,’ ‘Trolls,’ and other Disney films, but nothing works like the ‘Bee Movie.’
“As soon as the channel is changed he knows.
“When we go out of the house, he isn’t bothered and is a happy baby, but as soon as we’re home the film has to be on.
“He doesn’t even pay attention to it, and plays with other toys, but still, it always has to be on.”
Streaming service Netflix announced that one user had viewed “Bee Movie” 357 times in a year in its annual “Year in Review” report, which looked at data up to November.
