Great Film overall

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I did kind of grow up around it. I saw it here and there, but was never really actually INVOLVED with it. I do remember a few intros of the TV adaptions. "Pooh Bear, Winnie the Pooh Bear!" And I did watch The Tigger Movie, though! I think that was one of the VHS's that I kept on rewinding and rewatching back when I was younger. But aside from that, I never really LOVED Winnie the Pooh. I guess I just never really found the cast endearing or lovable as everyone thinks they are. I kind of found them boring and not at all interesting. Sorry.But this was a cute movie. I guess I would have enjoyed this more so if I were younger. Lumpy is a Heffalump. A stranger to the Hundred Acre Woods gang. Roo befriends him and they're off doing stuff little children do.The music was lovely. Especially the songs that Lumpy and Roo had together. WE STAAAAND, SHOULDER TO SHOULDER! Yeah. That stuck with me. Also the song Kanga sang to Roo. Such a sweet mother-child song.I loved Lumpy! He was so cute! His randomness, his songs, his attitude, his accent, his laugh- everything was adorable! I guess that's why I enjoyed this movie. Makes me want to have a Lumpy stuffed toy, even if I don't usually do stuffed toys.The ending was great. It gave me shivers, even if I wasn't expecting it to since I wasn't really paying attention while watching it. I think this movie should have been called 'Roo's Heffalump Movie'. Why does Pooh have to get credit for everything? As my title stated, I was never really a Winnie the Pooh fan, but I liked this movie. That must be saying something about it. This one is a great movie to watch with your kids. Give it a shot.

I'm 21 but i still like 2 watch Disney movies 'cause they always give me happiness without any complex plots.This Heffalump is also in this list ,simple plot provokes my deep emotions.Especially when the lumpy called his mama for helping the Roo,i can't help myself bursting into tears. Maybe it's unbelievable, but this film indeed touched me in the cinema. Beside ,what i have to say more is its fabulous musics, such as 'shoulder to shoulder','in the name of hundred acre wood',i even want to download these songs at once to listen again and once again on my way home from the cinema. As a cartoon which mainly aims at those young boys/girls, i think it have already beyond its horizon, many adults could be fans of the little lumpy, and the Roo as well. One of my favorites Winnie the pooh seems not to be the leading role of this movie, which i regard as a brand new trial to explore much more absorbing stories.

We have seen this movie 4 times with our 2-year-old daughter. She absolutely loves it. Original music by Carly Simon is catchy and fun. It's also nice to hear the characters singing the tunes, instead of having the songs as filler. The story unwinds as Tigger, Eeyore, Pooh, Rabbit and Piglet decide to go on an expedition to catch the infamous Heffalump. Roo, too young to join the group, sets out on his own and meets Lumpy, the young Heffalump. The two quickly become friends and play in the Hundred Acre Wood until it's time to go home and they try to find their mommies. The only scary parts - when Roo enters Heffalump Hollow, when Roo and Lumpy are missing their moms, and when everyone tries to trap Lumpy - are quickly resolved. Great message about accepting others who are different - and a little reminder that no matter how big you get, you still need your mommy. It's only about an hour long, so stay for the credits. The scenes are classic Pooh scenes, with Lumpy joining in. Can't wait for the DVD!

I took my 2, 3, and 9 year old to see this last night. I was worried about the 2 year old going to the movies, but I figured, it was a Winnie The Pooh movie and since he can name every Winnie The Pooh character, we thought we'd give it a try. We all fell in love with Lumpy and my children were glued to the screen. I have to say though that at one point, we all became very angry at Rabbit, Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet. I expected to see more Heffalumps in this movie, actually. They are SOOOOOOOO adorable!!!! There was one part in the movie that I felt was teaching dishonesty, but I don't think my kids caught it, at least. I've always felt that they mistreat Eyeore, and I wish that would stop. All in all, it was a wonderful movie and my kids will be getting all sorts of Heffalump stuff and we will most definitely buy the movie when it comes out on DVD.
