Summary: My 2 yr old loves this movie!
Review: My daughter has been watching this movie since 18 months and LOVES it. She is singing the songs and imitating pooh and the characters all the time. We have the DVD and I love that we can skip ahead to the different chapters. We usually watch one or two chapters at a time. It keeps it interesting for me too since I have watched it about 50 times already. We watched the piglet movie recently in the theater and it doesn't compare to this movie at all. That one was very boring. I love the songs in this movie too.

Summary: A Magical Movie
Review: People have watched Winnie the Pooh on videos separately from 1966 to 1977, when they made the video we now call "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." In 1977, Disney brought the videos together to make a wonderful, heartwarming video. The video contains 4 storybook classics. In "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", Pooh eats so much honey at Rabbit's house and gets stuck in a hole.
In the Oscar award winning "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day", there is a big flood and Piglet must be saved.
In "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too", Tigger learns that even bouncing can be over done, and gets stuck in a tree.
In "Winnie the Pooh and the Day for Eeyore", Eeyore thinks everyone has forgotten his birthday, but Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Owl, and Christopher Robin throw him a party.
Even though these stories are all good, the best of the four is obviously the classic "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree". I think it is the best one because it is the first, and it is full of action, like when Pooh climbs the honey tree, and when he gets stuck, and when he flies into the honey tree. These stories have been entertaining Pooh lovers all around, especially the first two.
This video has great voices and animation. Paul Winchell does the voice of Tigger, Sterling Holloway does the voice of Pooh,(in the Day for Eeyore it is Hal Smith). Hal Smith also does Owl, Ralph Wright does Eeyore, Clint Howard does Roo, Junius Matthews does Rabbit, Barbara Luddy does Kanga, and for Christopher Robin, it is different each time. This is a great movie for kids, and if you buy it, I hope you enjoy it. Pooh and his friends go on many adventures, and you will enjoy watching Pooh's adventures. If you buy this, I know you will enjoy it. The video is full of magic!

Summary: Animated films is what Disneys do best
Review: The best part of watching this film with my son was re-living my childhood memories of seeing this oh so long ago. There were many "Oh, yeah, I remember that!" moments. My son, on the other hand, just sat there absorbing the whole thing (he's only 3, but he can watch TV with the best of them). The only thing I'd give thumbs-down to on this DVD is the film transfer quality. The film is rather old now, and the dyes and the paints they used back then are wearing unevenly. This gives a sort of mottled look to some of the larger patches of color, and makes me wonder why they didn't "digitally remaster" the print to get the highest clarity. Wouldn't have been that hard to do. But the bonus material is exellent, and the film itself is the classic that I remember it to be. Interesting fact: there were three different people who did the voice for Christopher Robin, but that's only because this version of the film is actually three short films put together with a special scene at the end with Christopher Robin saying good-bye to Pooh. It's all very well explained in the "making of" video included. Great film, good DVD. Your kids will love it and so will you.

Summary: Disney Has The Magic And The Charm!
Review: The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh is a very good movie for the whole family. It is so wholesome and filled with basic messages and foot tapping music that all ages will enjoy. It has great character actors doing all the voices and who could every forget Tigger! Or Eyor or Piglet or Rabbit or Roo! Such a fun more even as I watch it as an adult today. The story of Pooh is a classic and it wasn't until Walt Disney created these three mini features and married them till the US populous catch on to Whinnie's adventures. And they are fun. Winnie is lovable and adorable and has the biggest of all hearts of all the characters in the Disney line of magical memories I have ever seen! This movie is really special. The DVD extras are just as good as the film. It has a storybook for the kids a music video by Carly Simon and series of games for children to figure out and even a Tigger sing-a-long. Also there are several previews for the kids to see the new Piglet movie, a new Pooh Christmas video due out this fall and Lilo and Stitch preview. With a lot of fun extras. This is a must for any collector of Disney or animated features overall.

Summary: 2-1/2 year old loves it but.....
Review: The scene with the Heffalumps and Woozels is scary to her. All in all, a charming movie. The additional story of Eeyore is a delight. And being able to learn about the inside story of the characters and creators, animation and musical, is such fun. A classic.

Summary: 30th Year Commemorative Version Omits Favorite Stories
Review: The Thirtieth Year Commemorative Version of the Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh omits favorite stories including Eeyore's Birthday and Pooh Sticks. It also contains a lengthy introduction on the making of the original Winnie-the-Pooh short movies. Disney may have wanted that piece to be considered a documentary, but it is full of corporate rah-rah nonsense that gives it a feel of an infomercial. Even with these drawbacks, the Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh is quality children's viewing which adults won't mind watching with their children (and may even enjoy).

Summary: The many adventures of Pooh and the gang
Review: There wasn't anything on television, so I figured I would watch "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." I grew up watching Winnie the Pooh, and I have to say that I was impressed with this movie. The movie includes a few short stories that involve Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, and the rest of the characters from Winnie the Pooh. In the first one, Pooh goes on a quest for honey. The second one is about a blustery day which turns into a major flood. Finally, in the third one, Rabbit teams up with Pooh and Piglet to find a way to get Tigger to quit bouncing. Any kid that likes Winnie the Pooh will definitely like this movie. I'm grown, but I still like watching a good cartoon movie every now and then, and I'm glad I chose to watch this one. Some of the parts you'll remember from the movie are when Pooh gets stuck for days in Rabbit's hole, when Pooh and Piglet find a way to become heroes, and when Tigger just won't quit bugging Rabbit. This is a good movie for anyone that likes cartoons.

Summary: Seamless joining of the short films
Review: This is everything "Seasons of Giving" should have been. The original short films were so much better than the series, I hope all parents will seek this out. Adults will enjoy it as much as their kids.

Summary: Kids just love it
Review: This is not, by far, the best of Disney. The three animated shorts that were originally stitched together to make "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" date from the late 1960's to the early 1970's, not a vintage Disney era, and it shows. The animation, while miles above TV-quality fare, isn't particularly good compared to the earlier Disney classics, there are several rather careless holes in the dialogue and plot, and the whole storybook motif is overdone to the point that a rather important plot element (Tigger getting down from the tree) depends entirely upon the narrator. True purists are also appalled at the changes Disney wrought upon A.A. Milne and Ernest Shepard's original characters. For my part, I think the Disney animators did as good a job here of maintaining the general atmosphere of the original Milne stories as was ever done--the modern efforts don't even come close, and actually reduce the Pooh characters to a status on a par with just about anything else. I also have a sentimental attachment to the original Disney shorts, since I basically grew up watching them occasionally on TV. These are gentle stories that will appeal to a wide range of ages, from extremely young (my daughter has been watching them since before she could speak) to late adolescence. The plot consists of a number of rather underwhelming and pointless events in the lives of a number of stuffed animals inhabiting the "Hundred Acre Wood," which is rather refreshing from Disney, actually: no pandering, no didacticism, just (as Homer Simpson might say) "a bunch of stuff that happens." The music is occasionally memorable as well; if, after countless viewings demanded by your child(ren), you don't have Pooh's "up-down" song, or "Little Black Raincloud," or the title song, or for that matter "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" running pleasantly through your head, you have no head for music at all. I have never been particularly impressed with the "extras" included with most DVDs, but in this case the folks at Disney have included the fourth theatrical short, "A Day for Eeyore," which is a very nice bonus, especially since prior to this release one had to buy each short separately on videotape. The short itself is a bit shocking, though, since the voices, with the exception of Tigger, are radically different. Overall, a nice single-disc package of "classic" Disney Pooh, and something you can show your child(ren) without fear or guilt.
