Winnie the Pooh DVD ReviewMar 07, 2010
My grandchildren love it and want to watch it all the time. I won the "Nana" prize!
Long over dueFeb 07, 2010
This movie was just right for our daughter when she was going through her Winnie the Pooh stage.
Aside From Mary Poppins, The Best Book To Movie Adaptation By DisneyJan 31, 2010
This was never really on my list of movies to watch, but I stumbled on it one day when I had nothing to do, and was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. I kept in mind the sad necessity of cutting parts out of a book for a movie adaptation, and I dreaded seeing what would be left out of this one because I'm such a fan of the original Pooh books. Disney did great with Pinocchio, but Peter Pan seemed to lose something in the transition, and I hoped Pooh wouldn't suffer the same fate.
Sadly, the Pooh Sticks story was left out, and as far as I know it was released on a different Pooh video cassette some years after the original full length movie. In its place is a story about the first snowfall in the hundred-acre wood that's fairly bland. That's the only flaw in the movie I could find. Everything else (besides Tigger's lack of cuteness) was either as good as the original Milne stories or actually better.
The most noticeable improvement is in the character of Rabbit. He's so generic in the books, but Disney really brought him to life. And him using Pooh's rear end as a hunting trophy was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. He seems to take the place of Eeyore in a lot of the segments, suffering from all kinds of misfortune. (Eeyore doesn't show up much in the movie, probably because his character is way too depressing.)
The score by the Sherman Brothers is once again top notch, and best demonstrated in the nightmare Pooh has about Heffalumps and Woozles - one of my favorite Disney movie scenes.
Impressive in its creativity and humor, The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh was probably by far the best Disney film released during the period from the late 60's to the late 80's.
Pooh foreverJan 23, 2010
I think I can say that I don't believe there is an influence in my life greater than Winnie the Pooh.
I realize that may seem silly or pathetic but Pooh was the first books read to me, the first books I read.
Pooh's take on friendship, loyalty, compassion, even courage opened very young eyes to what I could be as a person before I even understood that someday I would become a person and would have to choose what type I was going to be.
Values such as these should , hopefully, never become outdated.

 Teaches outdated valuesJan 18, 2010
I bought this DVD for my 2 year old son who is a fanatic of Winnie the Pooh. I introduced the character through two DVD's that feature the Adventures of the Super Sleuths and we both love the videos.
When he started to watch this DVD, his jaw dropped, and after 15 minutes he wanted me to stop it. I must say I agree with him. Pooh is not casted in a very good light. He fumbles constantly and he is a gluton. Eeyore is truly depressed and when Pooh gets stuck after eating to much, rabbit keeps lamenting inviting him to eat...and the bees are just laughing when thinking of stinging Pooh! If you watch the Super Sleuths, the characters all have their flaws but their talents are also highlighted, with an emphasis on team effort. I didn't grow up with Winnie the Pooh, so although I was aware of some of the characters I didn't know the real story.
I am a first time Mom but an old one (45 now). What I am finding is that most of the old fashioned cartoons like Tom & Jerry or Winnie showcase what I consider outdated values. My conclusion is that simply the times have changed. Of course some of these cartoons bring us memories, and they do have some cute stuff, but we face a total different world. 40 years ago we taught our children to be afraid of wolfs and kill them, now we want to reintroduce them to the wild. Before we were awed with the development of incredible cities, now we are trying to save the last rainforests. Our children will have to be aware of AIDs, terrorism, live in an overpopulated world, learn not to discriminate against other cultures and well, the list is endless.
I am choosing all the tools I can to give him a good foundation for "this brave new world" so I'm into the new versions or totally different characters like Dora and Diego The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (The Friendship Edition)
