Amazon.co.uk Review
A beautifully crafted animated film, Winnie The Pooh may lack the digital polish of computer generated movies, but there’s a labour of love here that’s hard to resist. It’s a hand-drawn movie, that brings to the screen a fresh adventure from the Hundred Acre Wood. Present and correct are the characters that have made the stories of Winnie The Pooh so beloved over the years. And there’s a wonderful, nostalgic feel to the film.
But that’s not to say it doesn’t have some modern tricks up its sleeve, too. As well as the addition of a contemporary voice cast, this Winnie The Pooh feature is willing to have the characters interact with the very words and letters of the story it’s telling. Furthermore, there’s one sequence which feels really quite removed from what you’d expect of a Pooh movie.
Yet that’s not a bad thing, and it’s hard to shake the feeling that Disney is justifiably proud of this one. Winnie The Pooh has been far from the firm’s most popular films of recent times, but it’s genuinely lovely. It’s inevitably going to find most appeal amongst very young viewers, but even the older members of the audience can enjoy what’s been put together. And they might just end up feeling that they really do still make them like they used to. A real treat. --Jon Foster
DVD Description
Walt Disney Animation Studios proudly presents the wonderful new adventure, Winnie the Pooh. Return to the Hundred Acre Wood for a heartwarming original movie, and reunite with the beloved bear and his silly but steadfast friends for a magical family experience. When sad old Eeyore loses his tail, Owl sends the whole gang – Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga and Roo – on a wild journey to help Eeyore and save Christopher Robin from the mysterious Backson. In the end, it turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some hunny. Inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books and created in Disney’s legendary, hand-drawn style, this all-new classic introduces one of the world’s most cherished characters to a whole new generation. Narrated by John Cleese and bursting with brand-new songs performed by Zooey Deschanel, this wonderfully whimsical film is a must-own for every family’s film collection.

This is aimed at quite young viewers (it is much less sophisticated on a story level
than, for example, the amazing Pixar films), but as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed
it for the visual wit, and delightful wordplay - some of which was laugh out loud
funny - along with a simple, but beautiful hand animated look that fed the natural
nostalgia, and just felt "right".
The voice casting is excellent throughout. John Cleese as the narrator is the only star,
but everyone sounds just as they should.
A couple of the songs are a bit cute and sugary to an adult ear, but none are
painful, and some are quite funny.
I even enjoyed the lack of a real plot. Just as I remember the books, this had
the warm feeling of lightly passing imaginary, playful, fun time on a summers day.

DVD loved by my 2 boys who watched it non-stop for 3 weeks before going to bed. Good for kids both old and young and a good return to form from Disney and an admirable follow up to the original Pooh movie.

Format:DVD
We went through the Winnie the Pooh phase in our house, and I had to sit through The Tigger movie, the Heffalump movie, and the awful Piglet movie - all of which were Disney nonsense about your feelings, friendship, caring and sharing, utterly devoid of any of the cleverness, subtlety and humour of the books. It was a relief to discover The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, Disney's first attempt at bringing the Hundred Acre Wood to screen, which at least tried to capture the spirit of A.A. Milne's wonderful books. It was not perfect by any means, but compared with the other sugary stories it was quite good.
Anyway, this new film is very much in the style of the earlier film, and therefore it is not at all bad. The storyline is mostly drawn from the books, and the new jokes are actually funny enough. In general the characters are as Milne wrote them, rather than the Care Bears in disguise. Best of all, there was no moral, no message about believing in yourself, accepting differences or coming to terms with anything. And it wasn't too cute or lovey-dovey. Even Kanga showed a bit of her dark side. The songs were a bit rubbish, but you can't have everything.
This is not a ground-breaking film, and will probably not particularly appeal to adults without kids, but if you do have to sit down with your little ones you should find it quite watchable, and I'm sure they'll enjoy it too. Best of all it's quite short - only about an hour.
