Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
bennygagnon This movie was released in 1997 and is the third direct to video sequel after Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of thieves (which I haven't seen them). The movie is about Winnie and his friends going on a quest to find Christopher Robin after he left a letter that said that he was at the lair of the Skullasaurus. As you can see, it's more adventurous than most Pooh movies, which is a complain for most critics. But I like the adventure aspect, it makes the movie more entertaining that other Pooh movies (in my opinion) and also makes it more thrilling. Another positive point is that compared to return of Jafar and Aladdin and the king of thieves, the animation is a big upgrade, the movements feels more fluid, the colors are nice and the backgrounds are very pretty. The song wherever you are is also pretty good (both the version sung by Winnie and the one in the credits). I had to point a flaw it would be the ending, which feels very anticlimactic, manly because the fact that there is no Skullasaurus, which I would have liked to see one. But even with that flaw, Pooh's grand adventure is still a great movie that deserve more attention and love.
Adriana Valenzuela (oonaheartsnonny96) This is one of the films that I grew up with, so you can imagine all the childhood nostalgia I feel for this movie. I was actually a little surprised at how much people were complaining about the "dark elements" of this movie. I'll admit the Skull stuff is a little avant garde for Winnie the Pooh. However, there's plenty of other children's films that are dark and much worse than this. Something I really like about this film is that our characters travel beyond the Hundred Acre Woods to far off locations in order to "rescue" their human companion. The characters also get into peril in order to find themselves, which is actually pretty impressive for a kid's film. Overall, this is a great adventure that proves "you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think".
david kinney I just got the DVD for my 2 and a half yr old daughter. She loves the silly Ole bear as much as I did as a kid. With all of the sequels to really great classic Disney movies, you would think that the newer pooh would be really awful. (see the book of Pooh for example), however there is not a huge difference between this title and the academy award winning short: Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day, which is a bonus feature on the DVD. Rabbits singing voice sounds a bit forced and squeaky, But this isn't American Idol. My daughter sits and watches this one instead of checking in on it while playing or getting into mischief. There are great quote lines, already listed in other reviews, and sight gags that make me laugh and keeps my kids grins and giggles going even in the scarier parts. I don't believe that even young kids will have trouble with nightmares. On the other hand I myself am a Stephen King reader and my daughter is used to seeing movies based on his works, She doesn't really watch with me but she comes in and out of the room without being scared. I guess I would be sure I knew my child and watch with them the first viewing or screen it yourself first if being lost in an unknown woods and strange monster growling (Poohs hungry for honey tummy) might scare them.I just wish everyone at Disney would stay closer to Walts original vision. Hopefully The Search for Christopher Robin and Bambi 2 are signs of good things to come.
restless-2 My daughter was scared by the setting last year when she was two. Much more eerie than one would suspect a Winnie Pooh film to be. So we put the film aside until this year. Now she enjoys watching the film. Still she has to watch some scenes with an adult by her side. Not suitable for dinner preparation TV.The film clearly benefits from including all the original characters. Unlike some of the other films which exclude OWL, a character dearly loved by all our family--ever since the stormy day film.So, great for bigger preschool children but unsuitable for toddlers. Buy Tigger's Movie or the 1977 film instead if you have a young child.
