Winnie Puuh auf großer Reise - Die Suche nach Christopher Robin

The style doesn't belong but it works, somehow.

When this film was new and I was young I thought it was cheesy and spoilt Winnie the Pooh.

Now I'm older and am interested in things I've seen as a young child. I've dug out those old videos to see what sort of things I liked and hated back then (in case your wondering this was my brother's video that's why it's been left intact). I watched it and actually found myself laughing at those silly jokes and feeling quite emotional at Pooh's little song.

Also is it just me or did that tree look like a skull when Pooh looks at it from Owl's window? It's a fun film to watch when you want to look back to the past. It's nice to watch in the gloom of early evenings in winter when the house is empty and quiet. A relaxing film.

I did find bits of it still a little cheesy (I won't say what because I don't want to spoil the film).

It's not really exciting but it doesn't need to be.

The ending is a bit obvious if you can spell but who cares. You'll understand if you see the film.

It's worth seeing. It's both funny and sad and possibly a little creepy for kids (it's a good point). And it is quite amusing to see how the characters deal with life with no Christopher Robin.

Pooh's Grand Adventure, while inferior to the previous installment, is still perfectly acceptable in its own right. This is the saddest Winnie the Pooh film in my memory, but is yet the most delightful because of its message and the way it shows it. The moral is even if you're not accompanied by that special someone, you have them in your heart at all times. What animated film dares tell you something as strong as Winnie the Pooh? My favorite thing that I've admired about the Pooh cartoons is the fact that they are an act of innocence and are as gentle as a feather. There is never any mention of "death" in the show, or even the slightest hint. Even if someone falls from an very high ledge or tree, they brush themselves off, and move on to the next activity.

The plot is reminiscent of the latest movie installment. Christopher Robin is going back to school, but because of Pooh's desire not to hear the news he has, he doesn't tell him. Pooh wakes up to an unaccompanied tree, and no Christopher Robin in sight. Only a note and a jar of honey on Pooh's doorstep. He rounds up the gang, with the exception of Kanga and Roo, and head over to Owl's with the note and jar of honey. Owl says the note says something about Christopher Robin needs help over at School, which he mistakes for "skull." They all become braver than a bee, and stronger than they seem and go on a hunt for their friend.

The sadness and tear-jerking moments flood this short but sweet special. But they aren't like a crying fit more than like a beautiful sadness. Even though things look down, the gang is optimistic about Christopher Robin's return and they keep smiling all the way through the trip.

Like many Pooh specials, there isn't much to say either than they are wonderfully animated, wonderfully told, and just an all out pleasure on screen. Each character all targets a specific feeling or emotion in one's character, and together, it's like they fill everyone's set of emotions. It's beautiful beyond the simplicity and happiness it brings to children.

Much better film for children and everybody than many other children movies. Less violent and more true and loving. Tells more about the true things in life the child is good to know about. Wise movie and moving and touching on the deeper level, I- the adult- truly enjoyed the child within me:) Winnie the Pooh really gets to you!!!!!

I'm 20 years old and still a Pooh fan. I remembered this movie as a kid so I dug it out and watched it again. Right now, I've taken writing and acting classes so I'm a pretty good judge of movies now.

And this movie succeeds on every single level. It's heart warming without being sappy. It's witty and funny without being cheesy or just stupid. It teaches a message without being too obvious. The songs are catchy and well written with fitting visuals to go along with them. This is one of those movies that doesn't feel like a kid's movie as much as it does a family movie. It's appealing to all ages and can bring a smile to anyone, even during a bad day. Very few kid's movies live up to their potential but you can rest assured that Pooh's Most Grand Adventure delivers more you would expect.

Bottom line, I would recommend this masterpiece to everyone. Your kids shouldn't go through childhood without seeing it at least once.

I found this movie to be really charming. The plot is that one day Christopher Robin goes missing, and a note is left. Owl translates his note to say that he is in the Skull, and Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit and Eeyore all go on an adventure to find him. Most notable about this movie are its songs. The songs in here are worthy of classic Disney musicals. The characters really do have a lot of development over the course of the movie, especially Piglet overcoming his fears. The only problem with this is the animation, which isn't bad, it just isn't great. I highly recommend this charming adventure, and personally think it's only second best to the original 1977 Pooh film.

My rating: ****1/2 out of *****. 71 mins. Rated G.
