Rating: Summary: Worst Disney Offering in Years Review: My wife and I rented a copy to preview "The Book of Pooh" prior to letting my 4-year-old see/own a copy. I could not have been more disappointed. It seems to me the people who brought us so much fine animation in the past are either missing, asleep, or were not consulted on this project.I cannot speak to the stories in the video as we turned it off very soon after starting. What we did see was rather insipid, poorly animated, and not the kind of quality I want my children to see. It isn't that there is anything inherently wrong with the video - I just find it of very poor quality. I'll stick to Disney's classic offerings or those like "Toy Story" where at least the animation is top notch.

Rating: Summary: Not very climatic, not for younger children. Review: No singing and dancing, mostly talking and story telling with the narrator having a harsh British accent. I bought this for my 18 month old but she doesn't find any interest in it. Maybe she'll enjoy it later. For her age group I recommend Barney, because there is alot of singing and changing of pace. Pooh is too anticlimatic. Elmo is too slow as well. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Rating: Summary: Both my kids LOVE this dvd!!! Review: Perhaps it's the unique quality that puppetry brings to Winnie-the-Pooh. Maybe it's the great songs. Whatever it is, my children cannot get enough of the Book of Pooh. I've never seen my daughter replay any show as much as she does this one. Hopefully they will come out with new Book of Pooh DVDs, because I think I know this one by heart.
Rating: Summary: Its not come out of the player Review: This arrived yesterday and has so far been played continually with a short break for sleep. Our 8 year old got up this morning at 7:00 and immediately wanted it on again. A superb buy.
Rating: Summary: Pooh and friends are back in this new 2001 direct to video. Review: This is a brand new film and may be a shock that this film has gotten (at the time of this writing) an average *** stars from customers. On this dvd you can learn the history of Winnie tHe Pooh. Play games, Connect the dots, or do wheatever you feel like doing. I learned from the history of Winnie the Pooh that thier really was a Christopher Robin. And he was the one to name the bear Winnie the Pooh. There are 6 stories on this movie. And this is from (I guess) the stories from the show that debuted earlier this year. But this is a new movie, not like The Tigger Movie or Pooh's Grand Adenture: The Search for Chirstopher Robin, that has been out for a year or more. The only chacter in this movie that hasn't appeared in any A.A Milne's stories is Kessie. (A Blue Bird). But who cares about that anyway? In fact I think Kessie might have been on the Winnie The Pooh show twice before the THe Book of Pooh made its debut this year. Come on, give this movie a try. If you like this check out, Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin and The Tigger Movie.
Rating: Summary: First Rate Children's Television Review: This is the first good television show/video that I have watched since "Bear in the Big Blue House" came out a few years ago. The stories are touching and well-written and, most importantly, my daughter loves it. She seems to like pretty much any show with puppets. "The Book of Pooh" uses a new type of puppetry in which you can see the whole body of the puppet, not just the torso on-up a la "Sesame Street." The colorful background is a little offsetting at first, but you get used to it fairly quickly. All in all, I was very happy with this purchase and I recommend it as a wonderful holiday gift.

Rating: Summary: book of pooh (as in complete poop) Review: This turkey bites buy the tigger movie instead disney should dip the puppeteers, and computer animaters who conspired to foist this piece of poo off on the public in winnies honey and tie them to an anthill in the hundred acres woods. I loved pooh when I was a kid and so do my kids but I took this one back and exchanged it for the tigger movie which the kids actually liked .
