Summary: Worth it just for the first two shorts
Review: I'd watched these as a three VHS boxed set earlier, and this version with the original shorts tied together is really good. Yes, the quality does go down, but the first two(honey tree and blustery day) are fantastic and totally capture the laid back Winnie the Pooh feel. My son loves the songs and he always points out a "honey tree" in one of the parks we go to. Its a video he has loved for a year or more now, from 18 mo and up. A notable omission is the lack of a separate song menu. Another negative is the length -- you do have to watch with your child and cut short or they would have been sitting in front of the TV for an hour before you know it! Plus, all of the situations are scary, such as getting stuck, getting your house blown down, flooded out etc. though presented in such a pooh way, that it won't scare them too much. Enjoy...

Summary: Good cartoon - Outrageous price = Bad DVD
Review: I'm guessing the studio had all these glowing reviews put up on Amazon. It wouldn't be hard to do. It is a fun hour, but not worth the cost. Why does Disney always have to gouge their audience? The DVD is not a good value, although, for about half of what they want it could worth buying. I say pass on this one...

Summary: Classic Characters Given The Disney Approach
Review: If you have ever read A A Milne's books, you would wonder if these were the same characters. This is good family entertainment but the characterizations are not consistant with the original books. This also omits some good stories.

Review: If you're a parent looking for a gentle animated film for your young child, purchase "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." We bought it for our one-year-old daughter, who quickly learned to sing with and practice "stoutness" exercises alongside Pooh.
She also starting jumping at an early age (trying to mimic Tigger).
We're not pedantic Pooh historians or movie critics; we thought the story flowed nicely and the colors were great. In fact, we were quite impressed with the vividness of the DVD given the film was created 25 years ago.
Most importantly, our daughted and her friends love it--which just may be whom old Walt intended to please in the first place.

Summary: Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Review: It was my childs favorite video and now that it is worn out I would like it to be released on DVD so that we can replay our favorite stories instantly. The introduction about Disney's animation team was informative and interesting to me but it should have followed the main feature. It has been my three year olds favorite for over a year now despite his large video collection.

Summary: Winnie The Pooh Before He Went Hollywood (and Orlando)
Review: Like that other cuddly British import, James Bond, Winnie The Pooh grew (diminished?) from literary figure to film icon to corporate symbol. Each new feature starring either has dumbed down character and plot to cariacture; in Bond's case, gadgetry and double entendre, in Pooh's, platitudes about family and friendship (Not that A.A. Milne, Pooh's creator, opposed these bedrock concepts, he chose more creative, knotty ways to express them in his narratives.) It helps to remember the basics. In Pooh's case, that means Milne's books and this film, which gently introduces Pooh and his friends Owl, Rabbit, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and Christopher Robin. It does so while adhering to the books' narrative tone (helped by narrarator Sebastian Cabot). The songs, voices (particularly Paul Winchell and the late Sterling Holloway as Pooh), backgrounds, and characterizations would never be closer to Milne's (or for that matter, Walt Disney's) original vision. The Pooh TV series tried weekly to capture the wistfulness of the book's and film's final moments where Christopher Robin goes to school and leaves the Hundred Acre Wood. Here, it's done with minimal sentimentality while capturing loss of preschool imagination and happy isolation children face. This video is essential for anyone owning anything with Pooh's picture on it. This movie, and book it stems from, are why so many love Winnie The Pooh.

Summary: Deep in the 100 acre wood
Review: lives Pooh and his friends. This dvd captures the oldest and most endearing adventurous stories of that silly ol' bear and his sweet friends. It also has great extras! There is a game, which I think is most definitely more aimed for young children, but I couldn't resist! What fun!
This is an ultimate disney purchase. It ranks up there with the special edition of Snow White on dvd, which is the best Disney DVD to own in my opinion. See my review of Snow White for more!
I don't really remember watching Pooh cartoons when I was growing up, but I do remember watching them over and over when I was babysitting. That got me hooked on Pooh. I was 19, and now am 32..and still adore Pooh and his friends. Classic disney cartoons that make us laugh and smile should enchant anyone! Watching these videos as an adult just makes me remember how simple life was as a child, and it reminds me of the importance of friendship.
These old Pooh cartoons look outstanding on dvd, and also had such better animators than the newer Pooh videos. You can see the comparision of the two on the extras of the dvd. Pooh has become a huge franchise, but I opt for this one dvd, and my stuffed Pooh bear and the old books. All the new stuff is just not the same. He also has a huge fan base ranging widely in age. There are many adults that love him. What's not to love? He's a cuddly bear, and such a sweet one. even without his honeypot.
I highly recommending purchasing this dvd! It is worth the price for all the extras and especially for the three animation shorts staring Pooh and Co.
As Tigger would say, TTFN..ta ta for now!

Summary: IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT!
Review: My 19-month-old daughter does not watch TV, movies, or anything we've tried before...until we bought The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I loved this classic when I was little, and now my daughter does too! She would be content to sit on my lap and watch Pooh from dusk until dawn if I let her! We have the Piglet movie as well, but it's just not the same Pooh, and she doesn't seem quite as interested in it. The best thing about this DVD is that it's something she loves, and something that won't drive me crazy like Barney or Teletubbies, so even when I've heard the Rumbly in my Tumbly song six times in a day, hearing it one more time doesn't really bother me. This movie is an absolute MUST for any parent who just needs time to clean up the kitchen or even relax for a moment. This movie will save your sanity!
