Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

zsofikam To start off with, I have made no secret of loving Winnie the Pooh. It just seems so innocent and pure. Given that Pooh already has Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Valentine's Day, so an Easter special is a logical next step. In fact, I wanted to post this review on Easter but didn't have enough time. My one criticism is that the story feels a little rushed. It starts off very nicely with Roo excited about Easter and very nicely depicts his disappointment (and that of the others) when Rabbit declares it to be Spring Cleaning Day instead. Determined to get Rabbit to repent, the gang decides to clean up and decorate his house and we later see a flashback of how Rabbit acquired his dislike of Easter, which came from his experience of the previous Easter. My one criticism is that the story, which starts out very sweet, seems mostly to jump between the "Rabbit plot" (Rabbit's views on Easter and his redemption) and the "Roo plot" (Roo's excitement for the holiday), especially considering that I was expecting the plot to be focused around Roo given how he's featured so prominently on the box art and is named in the title. But that's a minor criticism. All in all, this is a sweet Easter story worthy of the Winnie the Pooh name.

Bill Hickerson Quality of this movie may not be at the same level as the Pooh movies of the sixties and seventies, but it's still worth watching, little children will enjoy it, parents and grand-parents that take an interest in there children will take the time to explain the many lessons that this movie has to offer, including how friendship and love can bring people with different goals together, and yes the story is familiar and yes the true meaning of Easter is ignored, but that can give the parent the opportunity to tell their children, or grand-children the real reason to celebrate the holiday. Bottom line this is just a good funny movie, no nudity, foul language, or anything else that makes for a typical "family" Hollywood movie.

chrisbishop5000 I can't believe that Disney found it necessary to even think of making this film! I love Winnie the Pooh and I love watching most of his films but I can safely say that this one is unbearable! Rabbit hates Easter and becomes emotionally saddened about it for a very pointless reason - because he felt left out when everyone else was having fun! The narrator is more of one of the supporting characters and just like everyone else, he acts like a total idiot. Also, I can't believe people make far too big a deal of "Rabbit's Rubbish Reason" as I call it. Why can't they just say "oh, Rabbit, surely you're not getting into a state over just that! Snap out of it, pal!" instead of "oh, dear, you are unhappy, aren't you? We honestly didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Rabbit. We just wanted Roo to be happy on his first Easter." At the end of the film we see Rabbit singing the insufferable song "Cos what I like most about Easter" and then gives Roo a hug, Tigger cries emotionally at that touching, tearful moment that'll touch the hearts of all that see it - (blowing a raspberry) uh, yeah right!!! Honest to GOD! What's so emotionally moving about having a hug? And, also, what's so tear-jerking about singing that stupid song? About two years ago mum got it on video from Safeway and I only saw it once. I don't know where it is now and quite frankly I don't care! "Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo" is a very cheap, poor film that is a real waste of time.

DrNo Well, I'm not sure if the other person that commented on this movie watched the same one as myself. Granted, this film is geared toward children, however, it's message seems a bit off target, considering the subject matter.To say this movie was something the entire family can enjoy together is to assume the parents have an IQ not much higher than that of their child.But before I say anything, I'm not some religious nut.The movie is loosely adapted from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Had the central holiday in question in this movie been Christmas, it's message would have made more sense. However, it was Easter, and, according to the characters, Easter is the time of year when "we show our buddies that we care." Easter is about caring and sharing, not a religious holiday celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus. In effect, the movie makes it explicitly clear that Easter isn't a religious holiday at all, but a time to celebrate the coming of Spring. It seems to have been made in typical Disney fashion; sanitized and devoid of the true meaning behind the holiday, such as Christmas, which, as has been transformed over the years to be a celebration of Winter and, yet again, a time when "we show our buddies that we care", as opposed to its original context, that being a religious holiday to celebrate the birth of a particular religious figure. Had Disney done the same thing to a Muslim, Jewish, or even Hindu holiday, I dare say there'd be quite the backlash and protest. However, it's just a Christian holiday and who cares if a few "believers" are even slightly taken aback by the warped rendition and interpretation Disney gives to their holiest of days. Thankfully, my daughter is far to young to understand any of this and certainly too young to care. She just likes watching Winnie the Pooh bumble his way through life. However, with older children, I hate to sound conspiratorial, but honest to God, you really have to wonder: are the people who made this film trying to re-educate children? You can write it off as merely a fun movie for tots to sit and gawk at for an hour, but at the same time, you have to admit, children aren't entirely stupid. They understand a lot more than I think we normally give them credit. And I find it difficult to believe that of all the people who helped make this movie, from director to child psychologists, surely at least one of them had to have the same sense of it all as I did. If I were you, I'd probably just skip this title in favor of getting some of the old Warner Brothers cartoons.
