Le livre de Winnie l'ourson

This is simply a nice little show, and I don't mean that disparagingly. It captures the feel and spirit of the original much better than the frenetic and occasionally just plain bizarre "New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," though as others note the latter is intended for an older audience. The plots and lessons are generally simple, but there's no violence, no screaming, and thankfully no product placements. If you're seeking a quiet and toddler-friendly program, be sure to give this one a try. There's definitely a place for peaceful children's' programming like this; remember, Pokemon and Fear Factor would love to hook kids instead.

This film is excellent and my son loves it. Makes a real change from the usual cartoon characters. Education seems to be a key point in this series of films, teaching kids about respect and manners. The DVD contains a series of short episodes so that it becomes unnecessary to have your children sit for hours until it is finished. Certain types of kids with disabilities respond really well to this, my son has cerebral palsy and isn't interested in regular cartoons but is uncontrollably excited when this is played for him. I would rate this as 10/10, and all the better it is available on on-line auctions for a fraction of the price in the shops.

The only thing about the Book of Pooh that resemble Milne's series is the looks of the characters. None of the personalities are transferred over to the puppets. Instead of the classic relationships such as Rabbit vs. Tigger we are given sappy, cute, supportive clones. All of this translates to an unwatchable perversion of the classic series. No, this is not Pooh.

At 17, I admit I like this show. While not like the books by AA Milne, other than the characters' names, it is cute and charming and nice for preschoolers. The stories are a little on the predictable side, and I admit Rabbit is more bossy than he is in New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the 1977 film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh(based on the 3 shorts Honey Tree, Tigger Too and Blustery Day) and the books. However, the background scenery is colourful and nice to look at, the puppetry is above average, the voices are fine and the songs are sweet and memorable in general. I have always had a soft spot for Tigger, he reminds me of my sister when she was little, but I also like the little bluebird Kassie. In conclusion, I like it. 8/10 Bethany Cox

My little brother LOVED this show as a little guy. He's 8 years younger than me so while I grew up on The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, he grew up on this. And, while it's not nearly as good as New Adventures,which was written for an older audience to begin with, it's a good show. I watched it again pretty recently and it still holds up. The stories can be a little bland at times, but it's also a show for pre-k so I'm sure kids would love it all the same. But it also retains some of what's good about the cast of characters. While it's not brilliant, it's a lot of fun for little kids and it won't bore parents who have to watch it with them. So I'd say, if your kid is a Pooh fan (or if you're like me and you're an adult Pooh fan), it's definitely worth checking out alongside New Adventures.
