If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Previous comments have already covered that this movie basically recycles old Winnie The Pooh stories (including the original book) - the little kids may not care but don't the authors owe more to the fans of the series and actually produce a decent screenplay? What I enjoyed about the series from the late 80s and early 90s is that it was, in large part, accessible for both adults and children. They were cute but rather intelligent.This movie borders on the sadistic at times - such as the scene where Kanga puts Piglet through the ordeal of giving him a bath, while perfectly knowing that he is Roo. Now, I realize that this is yet another recycled story but the way it is handled resembles something from the Animaniacs. The writers basically said 'let's make something that'll make the kiddies laugh before they are old enough to realize it is not funny.' There is no sensitivity or creativity shown whatsoever.My advice to parents - buy Milne's book or, if you are desperately looking for a rental, get your kid a Miyazaki.
Our children are four (boy) and two (girl) and have only seen two other Pooh movies. Both absolutely loved this one. My wife and I also enjoyed the movie. It was sweet, simple and had just enough plot for them to follow.
Cute for children, but adults may find themselves checking their watches. Our family enjoyed it. Our 9-year-old got very sad at the middle and near the end of the movie. As a family film, it still got a thumbs up from us. The songs by Carly Simon were very enjoyable. My son especially liked it when Pooh changed the end of the "House at Pooh Corner" story.
For anyone who has seen a previous Winnie the Pooh cartoon this will be a disappointing movie. The quality of the animation was not even close to the level of the television programs. I know this is intended for children but it is one I regret taking my kids to. The characters are presented in a callous manner in regard to each other and especially Piglet. Rabbit is as close to a villian as portrayed in any Disney movie. And a scene near the end left one of my kids crying well after the movie because she thought that Pooh and Piglet had been hurt. The barest redemptive value would be the series of scenes where the characters are making drawing for Piglet and the scenes come to life. Excellent animation. The songs by Carly Simon are also wonderful. This should have been a straight to video release or just a TV special. It was not worth the money paid for the tickets. Another example of a poorly produced Disney "sequel".
