UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" is a 24-minute cartoon from over 30 years ago and the most known work by director Rob Reinert, if you don't count his minor contribution to "Mrs. Doubtfire". The Winnie Pooh cartoons got quite a bit of awards recognition, but this one here not really. And I think that's fine. The story is basically as follow: Eeyore has a clash with Tigger on his birthday and is even more depressed as usual. Pooh, Christopher Robin and the gang do their best to cheer him up and they have a birthday celebration. Tigger and Eeyore make up again. In terms of the story, this was maybe enough material for a third of the 24 minutes runtime. The rest was just filler stuff and neither memorable nor entertaining nor anything we have not seen in other Winnie the Pooh films already. As with these, it is again the case that the focus is on one of Pooh's friends. And, as in other WtP films, we hear the narrator interact with the characters at one point. I like Eeyore and it's a shame that he does not have a better movie dedicated to him. Not recommended.
Atreyu_II "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" isn't as good as the 3 earlier shorts but it's still likable.The picture quality of this short is slightly inferior comparing to the earlier ones and that is part of the reason why it isn't as good.Another reason is because most of the cast is different. Unfortunately we have no longer Sebastian Cabot, Junius Matthews, Barbara Luddy and Sterling Holloway. On the other hand, luckily we still have Ralph Wright, Paul Winchell, John Fiedler and Hal Smith in this short - and that's a good sign. Jim Cummings does a decent job as the voice of Winnie the Pooh, but Sterling Holloway was better.This short is mostly dedicated to the gloomy donkey Eeyore.However, he is feeling more miserable than ever for two reasons. First, because Tigger bounced him and accidentally threw him into a river. And second, because it's his birthday and nobody remembered that, which causes Eeyore to believe that nobody cares about him.In a try to help Eeyore getting off the river, Winnie the Pooh accidentally throws a rock to his belly, nearly causing poor Eeyore to drown.When Pooh finally finds out that today is Eeyore's birthday, he decides to give him a jar of honey as a present, while Piglet decides to give him a balloon. But accidentally Pooh eats the honey and Piglet breaks the balloon after falling.Surprisingly, Eeyore enjoys the empty jar and the broken balloon. Another surprise is that Eeyore smiles. We never see him smiling.In the meantime, Cristopher Robin returns and they all celebrate Eeyore's birthday with a new game named "Pooh Sticks". Of course that Tigger says "That's what Tiggers do best" and then he contradicts himself."Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" is still a very enjoyable experience and luckily it is available as an extra in the 25th Anniversary Edition DVD of "The Many Adventures of Winie the Pooh".These Winnie the Pooh's shorts/stories are also a great way to learn and see how valuable friendship is.
Jackson Booth-Millard Another sequel to the original book based Walt Disney cartoon is okay. This cartoon focuses more on the gloomy, probably depressed Eeyore the donkey. Eeyore himself was just gloomier because he thought no-one cares about him. Tigger does get in the way a bit of Pooh and Piglet, but they do get something eventually. Pooh originally went to Owl's house to get some honey for Eeyore, but ends up eating it himself. And Piglet got him a balloon, but it pops. But Eeyore is happy when Pooh gives an empty honey pot, and Piglet a popped balloon. Christopher Robin arranges a party at the end, and all characters celebrate. Kids will probably love Tigger. Winnie the Pooh was number 55 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Worth watching!
piccione2000 This is a classic video that everyone should own. It shows true friendship when the friends make effort to make Eeyore's birthday cheerful. It is a great edition to the Pooh series. The animation is good, the voices are great, the illustrations and color are nice, and the story is entertaining and enjoyable. This video is based on two ideas from the original books by A.A Milne. It is based on a part where Pooh invents a game, and where Eeyore has a party. Out of the four Pooh movies,two, The Honey Tree, and Blustery Day are better than this. One, Tigger too, is not as good, but only by a little bit. This video is so much fun, that adults and kids will watch this over and over. It is great.
