Las aventuras de Winnie Pooh

I always loved Winnie the Pooh. This is my favorite of all the Pooh movies. My favorite story is the first one, Winnie The Pooh and the Honey Tree, where Pooh eats too much honey and gets stuck in Rabbit's hole. It is such a heartwarming movie. I love most of the Disney movies that I saw, but this has to be one of my all time faves. My son, who is now 14 months old, is an absolute Winnie the Pooh nut. He goes nuts when the opening comes on (even though only Pooh's right arm and leg are seen). His favorite is also The Honey Tree story. Unfortunately, I dread the very last story, because he cries because the movie is over, and that means the end of the movie. He watches it so much, I have to have a second copy! If you have children, or even if you don't and you just plain love Disney (like me and my son), I highly recommend Pooh. It will really cheer you up when you are feeling bad, so I really recommend this movie (you won't be sorry you bought it!).

This film is like a childhood memory, I love it, and I'm 16. The animation is beautiful, especially in Blustery Day, one of the three vignettes that make up the film. On this subject, I think this is the only Disney movie, that makes outstanding use of the vignettes, which were tied together by a very thoughtful narrative by Sebastian Cabot, who sadly died the year the film it was released. The songs by the Sherman brothers, are amusing and memorable actually. The Heffalumps and Woozles song was my favourite. What impressed me most was that the vignettes, while simple but innocent and cute, were very faithful to the equally charming stories by A.A.Milne. The characters were really inspiring, helped by a very spirited voice cast, Sterling Holloway and Paul Winchell as standouts. John Fiedler and Junius Matthews were also amusing as Piglet and Rabbit, and Bruce Reitherman was also good as Christopher Robin. My ONLY criticism of this movie, is that I felt it was a bit too short. Watch this film, and maybe the other Winnie the Pooh films, but they do lack the charm of this innocent little gem. 10/10 Bethany Cox

"The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" combines the three original featurettes based on A.A. Milne's original Pooh stories (the first two of which were produced under Walt Disney's guidance) with some new brief linking segments and a new, touching epilogue. Although ultimately Americanised, the original wit and tone of A.A. Milne is captured well, something that a lot of subsequent Disney Pooh product can't claim. Adapting E.H. Shepard's lovely illustrations with a touch of the Disney style, it contains so many wonderful, whimsical moments - Pooh getting stuck in Rabbit's front door, Piglet being blown away by the wind, Tigger shocking Pooh with tales of hefalumps and woozles - plus a wonderful array of tunes from the Sherman Brothers songbook.

The supposed original intention with the Pooh property was to produce a feature, but was eventually reconfigured as a running series of featurettes with the option of compiling them to create a feature-length release. Re-combining the shorts into a feature was seen as a sort of tribute to Walt Disney's original intention, but it does ultimately seem a bit disconnecting. In particular, the style and quality of the later "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too" segment doesn't quite match that of the two preceding chapters. As a result, I do think the three segments perhaps work a bit better as shorts of their own, but nonetheless, the material is utterly charming and still works reasonably well in a feature compilation format. Worth a look.

This is easily one of Disney's best animated movies. A good range of characters each with different qualities so they can bring out different things in each viewer. There are a lot of songs in this movie but all of them are enjoyable and relate to the story. People of all ages can sit and watch this film together and not get bored as everyone can enjoy it and it gives adults the perfect excuse to switch off for a while and remember a time when things were easier. Also even the youngest children can sit through this and not wonder is it nearly finished?, because everything holds the attention. I have seen this movie so many times but it still cheers me up when I'm feeling blue. After all who can resist Winnie the Pooh? A truly excellent, classic movie.

Yes, I know that this feature is made of 3 previously made shorts, or a package feature as Walt Disney would call it, but it's still wonderful in every way.

Walt Disney chose the perfect cast for the films. Sterling Holloway was the perfect voice for Pooh. Paul Winchell was the Best Tigger ever! John Fiedler voiced his heart out on Piglet. And the others? I'll say that they're wonderful.

The music score is truly one of the greatest musical scores ever. I mean I could just hum it to myself over and over and over again.

And the songs are really catchy, too. Like the theme song, and The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers, and the others, I like them, too.

The ending created just for this movie, is truly one of the most heart-touching endings ever. It really shows that boys and girls, like Christopher Robin, have to say good-bye to their childhood friends. But if I were you, I say to keep them in your memories as your fondest.

So there you have it. A great review for an even greater movie. What more could you ask for?
