Such a frustrating disappointment
Just perfect...
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I do have some wonderful childhood memories associated with this film. It's a collection of short Winnie the Pooh cartoons. Each story is just as good as the others. Worth watching with your kids - it's very cute. All the songs in this movie are cute. My favorite is The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers - just as fun and bouncy as Tigger himself. I can still remember part of the song! If you like this film, then I recommend other Disney films that are just as cute with a good story for kids: "Dumbo", "The Fox and the Hound", "Bambi" and "Pinocchio". 8/10
Pooh is my favorite Disney Character and I just don't know why. His ability to make every problem minuet to his lack of honey is one that makes me laugh every time.The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a 1977 Disney cartoon which is composed of materials from three of Disney's previously released animated features, and all are based upon the Winnie the Pooh books by A. A. Milne. The three animated features are Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968), and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974).The Character Winnie the Pooh is a fictional anthropomorphic bear created by A. A. Milne. Milne named the bear after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, whom you will come to know as the character Christopher Robin who is Pooh's best friend.Milne also created characters from other Christopher's toys which were included in the story; notable though Owl and Gopher were added by Disney.Winnie the Pooh (Christopher's teddy bear) got his name from a Canadian black bear which Christopher often saw at the London Zoo the name of the bear was "Winnie", and "Pooh", was a swan they had met while on holiday.In the movie some additions were made, like Rabbit making Pooh part of his house décor was added by Disney himself and idea he got while reading the book. The movie also features the classic songs by the Sherman Brothers, "Winnie the Pooh" and "The Wonderful Things About Tiggers".This movie was the last movie that Walt Disney himself had personal involvement in. Although he was not involved in the movie shooting or production, he was part of the production of one of the shorts (Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree in 1966) and it was released during his lifetime and he was also involved in the production of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, which won the 1968 Academy Award for Animated Short Film, an award given to Walt Disney posthumously as he died two years before the film's release.This 1977 classic is also rated has the same rated score in Rotten Tomatoes (the two have a 91% approval from critics making it a most watch) as its 2011 predecessor titled Winnie The Pooh.Many would have seen this classic, and I believe there is no reason not to, if you have not already. It is a DVD to own and keep.www.lagsreviews.com
"The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" combines the three original featurettes based on A.A. Milne's original Pooh stories (the first two of which were produced under Walt Disney's guidance) with some new brief linking segments and a new, touching epilogue. Although ultimately Americanised, the original wit and tone of A.A. Milne is captured well, something that a lot of subsequent Disney Pooh product can't claim. Adapting E.H. Shepard's lovely illustrations with a touch of the Disney style, it contains so many wonderful, whimsical moments - Pooh getting stuck in Rabbit's front door, Piglet being blown away by the wind, Tigger shocking Pooh with tales of hefalumps and woozles - plus a wonderful array of tunes from the Sherman Brothers songbook.The supposed original intention with the Pooh property was to produce a feature, but was eventually reconfigured as a running series of featurettes with the option of compiling them to create a feature-length release. Re-combining the shorts into a feature was seen as a sort of tribute to Walt Disney's original intention, but it does ultimately seem a bit disconnecting. In particular, the style and quality of the later "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too" segment doesn't quite match that of the two preceding chapters. As a result, I do think the three segments perhaps work a bit better as shorts of their own, but nonetheless, the material is utterly charming and still works reasonably well in a feature compilation format. Worth a look.
This movie made me remembered the time I read the books this and other film adaptations were based on by A.A Milne and I loved them as much as anyone else who became fans of his work. I also remembered watching this as a young child and I loved it ever since because you can never be too old for such great Disney classics.The story is faithful to A.A Milne's works and the three segments that were from the book were portrayed quite well and considered as timeless. The characters are likable. Pooh is a lovable fat bear who likes to eat some delicious honey, Piglet is a timid and cute little pig who is afraid of everything, and others including the bouncy Tigger were also likable. The voice acting for those characters, including the narration from Sebastian Cabot is excellent to the very start and the music is light-hearted and memorable, but the strongest aspect is the animation which details the look of the homes described from the imagination of the author's books and the character animation is pretty good too.Overall, The Many Adventures of Winnie-The-Pooh is an excellent Disney classic and is one of the best ones yet!
