Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
So much average
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Piglet's Big Movie is a sweet children's movie, though I don't think it is as good as the Tigger Movie. There are flaws with the movie, the characters due to the voice actors changing have drastically changed, Rabbit especially. The plot is a little unfocused, it is nice that adorable Piglet has his own movie, but only the last quarter of or so of the film was dedicated completely to Piglet, there were parts when it was suggestive of an extended TV episode. And it is rather short, so the limitations in script and plot are glaring sadly. However, the voice acting is very good, Jim Cummings is marvellous as Tigger and Pooh, and John Fiedler voices Piglet beautifully. The art work, while not as good as the animation in the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, is still decent, and the songs by Carly Simon, especially the stirring Sing Ho For the Life of the Bear are surprisingly memorable. All in all, sweet. 7/10 Bethany Cox
Pooh rocks! This film is great just like the others. I nearly cried when Pooh lost Piglet's scrap-book. This film is cute just like all the others and I have a friend who thinks Pooh cares more about his honey than his friends, which this movie prooves is false.Piglet feels left out because of his size and runs away. Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Roo and Rabbit are concerned and look for him using his scrap book. Along the way they learn that Piglet is a big part in their lives and that they took advantage of him. In the end Pooh is almost killed, but Piglet saves him. This film is good and is underrated just like all the Pooh films!Plus, Carly Simon ain't half bad at singing the songs.POOH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Previous comments have already covered that this movie basically recycles old Winnie The Pooh stories (including the original book) - the little kids may not care but don't the authors owe more to the fans of the series and actually produce a decent screenplay? What I enjoyed about the series from the late 80s and early 90s is that it was, in large part, accessible for both adults and children. They were cute but rather intelligent.This movie borders on the sadistic at times - such as the scene where Kanga puts Piglet through the ordeal of giving him a bath, while perfectly knowing that he is Roo. Now, I realize that this is yet another recycled story but the way it is handled resembles something from the Animaniacs. The writers basically said 'let's make something that'll make the kiddies laugh before they are old enough to realize it is not funny.' There is no sensitivity or creativity shown whatsoever.My advice to parents - buy Milne's book or, if you are desperately looking for a rental, get your kid a Miyazaki.
For anyone who has seen a previous Winnie the Pooh cartoon this will be a disappointing movie. The quality of the animation was not even close to the level of the television programs. I know this is intended for children but it is one I regret taking my kids to. The characters are presented in a callous manner in regard to each other and especially Piglet. Rabbit is as close to a villian as portrayed in any Disney movie. And a scene near the end left one of my kids crying well after the movie because she thought that Pooh and Piglet had been hurt. The barest redemptive value would be the series of scenes where the characters are making drawing for Piglet and the scenes come to life. Excellent animation. The songs by Carly Simon are also wonderful. This should have been a straight to video release or just a TV special. It was not worth the money paid for the tickets. Another example of a poorly produced Disney "sequel".
