Featured reviews
It's been awhile since I've watched Winnie The Pooh,and I was abit unsure about watching another again when my sisters rented it out. The thing is that I loved it! It's a very cute movie with cute original characters and It has a Very nice story and I don't have a problem when watching it again. It begins where all of a sudden there's been some strange happenings in the Hundred Acre Wood and Winnie the pooh and his friends try to get to the bottom of it,only to find out that Heffalumps (Big elephants) have moved in. The rest I leave to you to find out,but overall it's cute,fun and something that you can never be too old to watch. So yeah,watch it...it's definitely something that kids as well as the rest will enjoy. PS: Note how many "cutes" I've put in,if it's more than 2 then it's worth a movie ticket.
All in all, this is a movie for kids. We saw it tonight and my child loved it. At one point my kid's excitement was so great that sitting was impossible. However, I am a great fan of A.A. Milne's books which are very subtle and hide a wry intelligence behind the childlike quality of its leading characters. This film was not subtle. It seems a shame that Disney cannot see the benefit of making movies from more of the stories contained in those pages, although perhaps, it doesn't have the permission to use them. I found myself wishing the theater was replaying "Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger too", instead. The characters voices were very good. I was only really bothered by Kanga. The music, however, was twice as loud in parts than the dialog, and incongruous to the film.
As for the story, it was a bit preachy and militant in tone. Overall, I was disappointed, but I would go again just to see the same excitement on my child's face.
I liked Lumpy's laugh....

I went and saw this movie with my five year old. He laughed at several parts, but got very bored toward the end. Honestly, I couldn't blame him. The plot is incredibly thin, even for a children's movie. There's hardly any plot at all. The songs are OK, but they feel like filler to make the movie longer.
Yes, I know it's a children's movie, but it's not impossible to make a children's movie with decent plots. My three year old girl loves Sleeping Beauty, and I can easily watch it and enjoy with her. I use a Disney example for this; I could easily invoke some of the recent Pixar films as well.
Granted, Pooh is simpler and more innocent than other children's fare, but it doesn't have to be so dead dull. There are plenty of examples of good Pooh films/videos that have real plots.
I don't want to rant against recent Disney movies (there are more than enough people who do that), but they need to get some decent writers that know how to make a plot with many layers.

I've rarely liked most of the Disney spinoffs and sequels but to me the 'Winnie the Pooh' sequels are an exception. I've only seen the delightful 'Piglet Movie' and now I've had the joy to watch 'Pooh's Heffalump Movie'. I miss the handdrawn Disney movies nowadays and it is great to see that Disney still makes such quality stuff even though that's rare thanks to nonsense like 'High School Musical' dominating the franchise. In 'Pooh's Heffelump Movie', the animation is vivacious as ever but where it succeeds most is with its adorable characters who have maintained their essence and consistency. The whole gang, that is Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Rabbit, Roo and Iyor are here. The comic situations are hilarious and the story is fun too. It has heart and is told in an endearing way that will capture children's attention (yes, there is a lesson to be learned too) but adults can enjoy it just as much with their kids. The new character, Lumpy, has got to be one of the cutest 'member' of the elephant family. But, Lumpy isn't merely some cute caricature. He is brilliantly written and voiced as a real character, that of a curious playful child seeking for adventure with a new friend. The score is splendid and it is always a pleasure to hear Carly Simon's beautiful voice. This little movie is neatly packed in a solid 75 minutes but it doesn't feel rushed at all. One of the last few underrated little gems of Disney.
i give this an 7 out of ten mainly because i loved the film- but not because of the actual film- but Heffalump- i LOVE Heffalump so much!!!!! and it was SO great for the movie. even so i didn't think the movie was as good. i enjoyed it but I'm not exactly about to rush out and buy it on DVD. even so it has been a long time since i have seen it so i may soon rent it out
I took my little sister to see it at the cinema and she loved every minute of it- so it is definitely a good film to keep children occupied, and also a good film for the young at heart like me.
Overall it was a petty good film.
