Summary: Great for Young Pooh Fans
Review: I read the other reviews of this video before purchasing, and was a little worried by the negative ones. However, I think most young children will have no objections. My five-year-old son enjoys the original Pooh movies (like The Blustery Day), the lower-quality TV series videos, and the newer ones. He thinks this one is great. (I wonder if this is analogous to Star Trek: We older Original Series fans just can't get into the newer incarnations, whereas others enjoy them all.)

The animation was a little funny-looking: Pooh has too much of a neck, for one thing. The music and the stories were pretty good. Young Pooh fans will love it.

I think, for overall quality, the original Pooh movies and "Pooh's Grand Adventure" are superior. (I'd actually recommend "Pooh's Grand Adventure," over "The Book of Pooh." Even though it's not A. A. Milne either, the music, artwork, and writing are truly first-rate.)

Summary: She loved it!
Review: I rented this video before buying it to make sure my 2 year old daughter would watch it and she loves it! It is more interesting to watch than the flat looking cartoons. I recommend it to anyone!

Summary: A Nice Kids DVD
Review: I sat down with my daughter Hannah (2 1/2) and checked out the new Disney DVD The Book of Pooh created by Mitchell Kriegman. Mitchell also is the creator of Bear in The Big Blue House, a favorite around our house. Hannah enjoyed The Book of Pooh, which in the end is vastly more important than my enjoyment of it. The DVD runs 70 mins, and Hannah sat and watched it from beginning to end (a mark of a good kid's DVD). The effect that they use on The Book of Pooh, where they marry puppets and computer animated backgrounds, is really cool; I found it much more aesthetic and approachable than the computer-only animation shows out there (like Rollie Pollie Olie). Honestly, I enjoy watching Bear in The Big Blue House more with Hannah, but The Book of Pooh was lightyears beyond the annoying Dragon Tales or insufferable Rugrats and I really like how at its heart The Book of Pooh is about teaching kids to love reading and storytelling.

Summary: A Great Movie For Pooh Fans
Review: I was a little apprehensive when I purchased this DVD since my four-year daughter had only seen the animated version of Pooh. She loves the Blustery Day, The Tigger Movie, and the Honey Pot. Well when she saw this movie it almost immediately became here favorite Pooh movie. One of her first comments was look daddy my stuffed Pooh and Tigger are moving on TV. That pretty much sums up how the characters look, they are best described as animated stuffed animals. My daughter was instantly able to relate to them and eagerly watched the rest of the movie. The movie is made up of a few short stories dealing which each character. Afterwards I asked her why she liked the movie and she said that the characters in this movie look real compared to the animated ones. She did not use those exact words but that is pretty much what she meant to say about it. The video transfer is very well done and the Dolby 5.1 audio is a good mix. If you have kids that love Pooh and the gang I would strongly suggest this movie.

Summary: Pooh and friends come to life!
Review: My 15-month-old loves this DVD more then any other show we own. She thinks the animals are so funny. She loves the 3d stuffed animals and bounces up and down in her high chair with joy for the entire hour! Even when she is sick or extra cranky, which says a lot for the power of this DVD. It is so clear and sounds fantastic! There are 6 stories in it, one on each of the Pooh characters. Most center around Tigger, because he is so fun I guess. The stories are well done and very entertaining. My girl loves this show and so do I. And after probably 100 viewing, she is not sick of it yet. I give it my highest recommendation.

Summary: A Great Show For All Ages!
Review: My daughter is 14 months old, and if any of you have a child at that age you understand how hard it is to hold their attention for more than two minutes. Well, the Book of Pooh does it for my daughter. We faithfully watch The Book of Pooh every day on Playhouse Disney (their morning lineup on the Disney channel), and she absolutely loves it. She loves the songs, and the characters, even though they are puppets they look so life like,(Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Pigglet, Owl, & Kessie the blue bird) and it's wonderful how they put those characters in a computer generated background. The colors are bright and eye-catching, and best of all I even I like this show. (If I can't stand to watch it then why make my daughter watch it????) I often find myself humming the closing song all the time! The Book of Pooh has good stories that teach children the right things, in a subtle way! I definitely recommend the Book of Pooh for all ages, it will definitely get your attention!

Summary: What a wonderful surprise!
Review: My husband and I watched this with our son, Greg. He loved it! Unlike the "New Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh", this show gets back to the original, simple themes that make Pooh such a lovable character. I loved Mr. Rogers for the same reason my son loves "Book of Pooh": loving, gentle characters that make the chaos of growing up a little more pleasant and understandable.
