Winnie l'ourson : Je t'aime toi !

I have to say I disagree with the previous reviewer. I love Winnie the Pooh, and I found A Valentine For You absolutely adorable. Of the Winnie the Pooh specials, in some way, A Valentine For You is perhaps the least well known. Wheras Halloween and Christmas were celebrated with Boo to You Too! and A Very Merry Pooh Year, and are holidays that the target audience would be more likely to celebrate, Valentines Day with this not so much. While I don't quite consider A Valentine For You as good as those two, I still love it. The animation is colourful and bright, with the backgrounds and character designs appealing, and the music while as memorable as I'm Not Afraid has a certain simple charm to it. The writing is droll with some inspired word-play while the story is really heartwarming and still with the childhood innocence that makes Winnie the Pooh so special. I loved the themes of love, unselfishness and friendships, these themes are important, and never once did A Valentine For You feel overly-didactic. The characters are as engaging as before and the voice acting is great, even if Paul Winchell sounds noticeably older here the wit and humour of the ever lovable Tigger is still there. All in all, adorable and really worth watching. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This special is good, but it's not one of the best Winnie the Pooh installments. I like the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode, Un-Valentine's Day better. I like the idea of Christopher Robin's menagerie thinking that Christopher Robin got bit by a love bug. Why? I've heard of the term "love bug," but I'm guessing it's either an expression or love bugs are a myth, and Christopher Robin has been so busy making valentines that his friends haven't seen him in days. They find him writing a card for his new friend Winifred (whom they think is his new girlfriend), with there being fireflies nearby, and Pooh and his animal friends have the mentality of toddlers, so it makes sense for them to think their friend was bit by a love bug. I saw one review saying that the reviewer can relate to the animals thinking Valentine's Day was a monster, and I don't blame them (the reviewer). I don't enjoy Valentine's Day as much as I used to.

The story has a heartfelt moral about making new friends while still having a special place in your heart for old friends, hence the song the characters sing at the end. I can totally relate; even when I make new friends, my friendship with my old friends remains! At first, Christopher Robin's stuffed animals think he doesn't love them anymore and has made new friends to replace them, but they all eventually receive Valentine cards from him in the mail, and he sets them straight, proving them wrong. Not only does the aforementioned song have an inspiring message, but the music and vocals are soft, smooth, and heartwarming! To put bread on the table, flashbacks from other Pooh movies appear during the song.

The special/TV movie is not without its flaws. The animation is good, but it has a lower quality than the previous Pooh installments. For some reason, Eeyore has bluish eyes here, and they're not as dark as usual. I'm guessing that's a coloring error. Paul Winchell's voice was a little bit scratchier during his last few performances as Tigger, including this, and it didn't sound as good as before. I'm guessing it's due to him aging. This was Winchell's last performance as Tigger before he retired, and Jim Cummings did Tigger's singing voice here and voiced Tigger full time ever since the former retired.

Winnie the Pooh and her friends think Valentine's Day is a monster, so they should stop it. It is the most delightful season in the Hundred Acre Wood. A time of paper hearts and flowers, of caramels and cards, a Valentine's Day in the charming film WINNIE THE POOH A FRIEND FOR YOU.

After Pooh, Piglet, Tiger and Rabbit see Christopher Robin making a Valentine's present for a little girl, they discover that he has been hit by Cupid's arrow and is 'sick' with love! Worried about Christopher Robin for not caring about them and hoping that a second arrow will cure him of this 'disease', the friends embark on an adventure to capture Cupid. This wonderful story, full of magic and charm, and with three new songs, reminds us that the heart is big and always has room for friends - old and new.

But a super cute animation of Winnie the Pooh, all cute, the naivety and delicacy of this drawing is really captivating, the super captivating characters, aiaiaiai, I love it... And they are so realistic with a fear of "Valentine's Day", I know a lot of adult people who have until today this fear... Hehehehe... Cute cute...
