Les Merveilleuses Aventures de Winnie l'ourson

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

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?

For many people, the adventures of Winnie the Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Woods represent a pinnacle of childhood. Disney's adaptation has immortalised the best of the classic Milne stories and provided the world with an animated film that remains unsurpassed for its good nature and unadulterated joy.

Three stories have been synthesised for this feature: Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too. The featurettes are linked by a narrator who nicely blends the lines in this episodic movie. The vocal performances are all excellent, with Sterling Holloway as the tubby bear of the title and Paul Winchell as his bouncy pal, Tigger. Also a standout in the small cast of characters is Eeyore - voiced by Ralph Wright - whose many one liners cater for even the grouchiest of grown ups in the audience.

Disney has added a few neat little touches to Milne's source material, including the Gopher who runs around proclaiming "I'm not in the book, you know!". But the studio has stayed true to the skew logic that is at the heart of these classic stories - and that is why this film works. Watch this one whether you're looking for some good, clean entertainment for the kids or if you just want to return to the happiness of your childhood: it's a great film for everyone.

This film is actually comprised of three earlier featurettes ("Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day", "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Too"), the first three of the four Disney efforts at filming the world of Winnie The Pooh which (the fourth was "A Day for Eyeore") that were closely based on specific A.A. Milne stories, and were excellently done. Despite not being drawn the way E. H. Sheppard originally illustrated them (which is, perhaps a loss), the characters are played with great respect for the way they were written. They have been Americanized in their speech, and they don't rely so much on the British comedy of manners that Milne mined so successfully, but they are quite solidly the same "people" they were in the books. Sterling Holloway is a marvelous Pooh whose his furry voice seems to convey both his outer softness and his mental fuzziness. Paul Winchell's Tigger is probably an improvement of the original, simply because words alone could never really convey Tigger's manic exuberance the way Winchell's performance does. Ralph Wright's Eyeore is a delight, and the other characters hold their own and uphold their tradition completely.

The one completely un-Milne touch that has been added seems to me entirely acceptable, too. This is the occasional presence, in the story, of the Narrator, whose intervention helps move the characters through some of the more difficult moments. It is a touch of gentleness that is not cloying at all, and is occasionally rather witty.

These stories are genuinely wholesome without being sticky. If you want to feed your kids entertainment that's truly funny, has decent human values, is completely free of potty jokes, and will stand up for 6-year-olds yet won't scare three-year-olds, it doesn't get much better than this.

The 22nd animated Disney classic is what I consider the epitome of innocence and childhood. This movie brings fond memories of a childhood that doesn't exist nowadays. It shows very well the beauty of life and magic of childhood, taking us to the relaxing and calm environment of the Hundred Acre Wood and back to the days when childhood was really childhood.

"The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" is simple but quite happy. It is narrated through a storybook and illustrations, which is a different way to tell a story.

This movie was made in a different way than the other Disney classics. The 3 Winnie the Pooh's shorts were put together, forming this motion picture but with the addiction of a conclusion. These 3 shorts are named "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!". The movie includes 2 live-action segments (a small one at the beginning and a minor one at the end).

Following old Disney's tradition, it has great artwork, lovable characters, charming songs, classic humor and nice animation.

There are no villains (something rare on Disney classics) and the characters are all friends. They all have different personalities, but they're all cool.

Winnie the Pooh is a bear with little brain but he's funny, cute and adorable. He looks more like a doll. You know, like one of those Teddy Bears most children have or had once.

Eeyore is a sad, depressed and pessimist donkey. Rabbit is authoritarian, tense and sometimes unfair, but cool. Piglet is tiny, cute, shy and nervous. Tigger is carefree, wild, humorous, hilarious, amusing, very lively and loves to bounce on his friends. He bounces on Pooh, Piglet and Rabbit, but never on Cristopher Robin, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Gopher and Owl. It's good to have a character like Tigger to cheer us up.

Kanga is nice and her son Roo is cool, innocent and enthusiastic. The Owl is very talkative and wise. Cristopher Robin is a caring, sweet and friendly little boy - and he's always available for his friends and helps them whenever they need.

Gopher is hilarious - «he's not in the book» and it's simply awesome whenever he falls into his hole. He is inspired on the Beaver from "Lady and the Tramp". They both can talk and whistle at the same time.

As for the songs, they are simple but charming and childish in a good way. I like all these songs, it's hard to pick a favorite: "Winnie the Pooh", "Up, down and touch the ground", "Rumbly in my tumbly", "Little Black Rain Cloud", "Mind Over Matter", "A Rather Blustery Day", "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", "Heffalumps and Woozles", "The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down" and "Hip Hip Pooh-Ray!".

As usual, great voice talents from the past shine here too. The great Sterling Holloway provides the voice for Winnie the Pooh. Ralph Wright was a great Eeyore - that gloomy and deep voice is perfect for him. Rabbit was never the same again without Junius Matthews. Sebastian Cabot was a good narrator. John Fiedler is wonderful as Piglet's voice. Barbara Luddy made a good Kanga. Paul Winchell... what a genius! He was a perfect Tigger! Seriously, no one can replace him and Tigger just isn't the same without him.
