Summary: WInnie the Pooh.......a family Treasure.....
Review: This is one of the Disney's materpieces. I'm in my 20's and I grew up with Winnie the pooh not only with the movie but with the tv series and the Book. It is hard to imagine a more delightful DVD introduction to A. A. Milne's cherished Winnie the Pooh books than this 1977 short stories, which gathered the Disney studio's original trio of animated featurettes: Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966): Pooh of course goes out looking for hunny and gets into some trouble, the Oscar-winning Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968): the hundred acre woods is flooded and piglet is in trouble, and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Too (1974):this is one of my favorite of the short stories where you meet tigger and you hear him sing his memorable song. Pooh was a pet project of Walt Disney, whose children loved the books about the "willy nilly silly old bear" and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. Faithful to the look and gentle spirit of the books, these mellow shorts do Milne proud. With the voices of Sterling Holloway as Pooh, Paul Winchell as Tigger, and John Fiedler as Piglet, the delightful characters come to life. The DVD edition includes a honey jar full of additional special features, including interactive sing-alongs and various activities. But the best part is how they restored the animation vivid and stunning as i would believe as when the movies first arrived in theathers. This movie is my family's favorite. At least once a month my nephew watches it and sings along and is enchanted by silly Pooh, little piglet, gloomy eeyore, rabbit and his gardening,know it all owl, kanga and little roo and bouncy tigger too. This is sure to be in your dvd collection already or soon, where you can be enchanted by one of disney's greatest materpieces about a boy named christopher robin and his nilly silly old bear pooh and his friends and a wonderful place called the hundred acre woods!
5 stars ***** two thumbs way way way up!

Summary: A Classic!!!
Review: This movie is such a classic none of the new pooh movies do it justice. Sterling Holloway is THE voice for pooh he just fitted it so well. The songs in this movie are so charming and get stuck in your head they are perfect songs to sing to your newborn. So sweet and calm. This movie really touches my heart. I love mostly all Disney movies but this one really is in a catagory all its own.

Summary: It's easy to see why this film is so beloved ...
Review: This package film from 1977 contains three "Winnie the Pooh" shorts from the late sixties and early seventies, with a little connecting tissue and an unexpectedly poignant ending thrown in for good measure. The result is surprisingly cohesive, and, as an adaptation of A.A. Milne's stories, impossible to top.Dorothy Parker reviewed one of the original _Pooh_ books with the tart phrase "Tonstant weader fwowed up," and anyone who has read Milne knows that he can easily descend into cutesy overkill. But the Disney film wisely avoids this problem by playing every scene for whimsy and understatement. It's an unusually delicate mood for a Disney animated feature, and it works much better on television than in a movie theater. The film emphasizes its storybook origins by foregrounding the printed text (especially during the middle "Blustery Day" segments). Characters and backgrounds bear an astonishingly close resemblance to Ernest Shepard's original watercolor-and-ink illustrations. Voice talent matches the characters flawlessly, though the voice and design of Christopher Robin are noticeably different in each segment -- a testimony to the film's piecemeal production over nearly a decade. The DVD transfer contains noticeable flicker and grain but relatively few specks and scratches. Extras are plentiful, including songs and educational games for children, as well as a documentary and art gallery for the grown-ups. As a less desirable extra, the DVD also includes the lamentable 1983 theatrical short "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore," which, unlike the feature film, gets the atmosphere perfectly wrong. Five stars.

Summary: A Classic across the board
Review: When you first read the original Winnie the Pooh books, you are captivated by the simplicity and lovability of the characters. As you continue to read them over the years, you fall in love over and over with Piglet, Pooh, and Tigger - not to mention Owl, Kanga, Roo, etc. This DVD not only brings to life those characters you have grown to love, it adds a whole new dimension to the story. The american gopher doesn't hurt, and since it explains about him in the special features, you learn why he was put in in the first place. I would recommend this DVD to anyone with children or who has fond memories of Pooh and company.

Summary: Nothing Like Pooh Bear turning a Blustery Day into Sunshine
Review: Winnie the Pooh has always been my favorite playmate and all his friends at enchanted Pooh Corner-Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga and Roo, Owl, Rabbit and Tigger, too. This is Walt Disney's 22nd full-length animated movie masterpiece. Winnie the Pooh was created in the 1920s out of British author A.A. Milne's whimisical stories he told to his son Christopher Robin. The character Pooh was created from Christopher's toy bear Edward Bear, and from his favorite London zoo friend "Winnie," a black bear. The name "Pooh" came from a swan residing also at the zoo. The film is a gathering of these wonderful moments and Disney's magic weaves them into this joyful feature-length movie. This edition includes footage of behind the scenes interviews and how the story of Pooh all started. The original stories are "The Honey Tree," "The Blustery Day" and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too." "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" was nominated and won Best Cartoon Short Subject in 1968. If you're a lover of enchanted days take a journey to the Hundred Acre Wood with the most huggable, lovable bear of very little brain for a wonderful adventure and lots of honey pots! Complete with the magical music score theme song and the Tigger song, too. It's the best fun you'll have in your entire childhood with none other than that willy nilly silly old bear. Guaranteed!

Summary: Tiggers tops are made of rubber, bottoms made of springs.
Review: Winnie the Pooh has been a family favorite for all 5 children as they grew up. But just as Christopher Robin goes off to school, my children slowly outgrow the Bear Stuffed with Fluff. Only the 6 year old still watches this movie on occasion but the others have such fond memories that Pooh and Tigger got ranked 18th out of 41. This movie is all good and smiles. If my children were all still under 7 this would probably be ranked in our top 10. My only criticism is that the inking of the artwork didn't seem to match the standards set in other Disney productions and could have be sharper. We also have Search for Christopher Robin that was also about equal in popularity when the kids were younger. Amazon ranks this movie at about 1,100, a very strong showing that would put this movie in the top 10 of the 41 we ranked. We give it 3 stars given the current ages of the family members involved in the ranking. Still, 18th means it beat out 23 others, but that the family liked 17 Disney cartoon movies better. Tiggers are Fun Fun Fun, Fun Fun. We had a lot of fun by gathering the family together to rank the 41 Disney movies we have that include some cartoon work. All the kids, ages 6 to 27, participated along with mother and dad. Lion King was selected number 1 of the 41 as the family favorite, but narrowly. Peter Pan was 2. Pete's Dragon 3, Beauty & the beast 4, Sleeping Beauty 5, Snow White 6, Robin Hood 7, 101 Dalmatians 8, Fox and the hound 9, Cinderella is 10th, Rescuers 11, Hunchback of ND 12, Aladdin 13, Aladdin King of Thieves 14, Jungle Book 15, Little Mermaid 16 and Hercules 17.

Summary: Gotta see this one!!!!
Review: Winnie the Pooh is one of the most lovable characters there is and this DVD showcases his sweetness. Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and all their friends romp and frollic through a series of stories that kids of all ages, even grown up kids, will enjoy. The stories are very entertaining and the voice talents who bring the characters to life are awesome. Most touching of all is Pooh and Christopher Robin toward the end of the movie discussing the fast approaching arrival of Christopher's departure to "school". My entire family loves this movie!!!

Summary: Simple, but satisfying
Review: Winnie the pooh is the quintessential simple child's tale written by a father (A.A. Milne) for his children. The characters in this movie are many, and each has a charming, and unique personality that adds to the synergy of the cast. While the storyline isn't all that riveting, the interplay between the characters makes you feel as though you could have dreamed about them as a child, playing in the backyard (100 acre wood) with your stuffed animal toys. Admittedly, the heffalumps and whoozles skit appears to be "drug induced" on the part of the animators, but it's just a little dark humor mixed in to balance the sometimes sterile innocence of the film. There is enough wrong with the world today that a little pure escapism couldn't but help, so kick back and enjoy a true Disney animated classic.
