One of the smaller residents of the 100 Acre Woods finally gets his moment in the spotlight in this animated feature, based on the characters created by A.A. Milne. As Winnie the Pooh (voice of Jim Cu... read more read more...mmins) and his pals Tigger (also voiced by Cummins), Rabbit (voice of Ken Sansom), and Eeyore (voice of Peter Cullen) set out to harvest honey from the hives in the forest, Piglet (voice of John Fiedler) is told he's too small to come along. Feeling like he often gets the short end of the stick, Piglet decides to strike out on his own, and when the honey hunters return, they can't find their friend -- only his scrapbooks of their adventures of the past. As they look through the books, Winnie and his pals realize just how much their friend means to them, and how much they've taken him for granted. They set out to find Piglet and ask him to come home, and along the way the little pig makes a big difference when his pals need him. Piglet's Big Movie includes several new songs from singer and songwriter Carly Simon. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    A fun movie that gives an important character in one of the beloved Disney movies ever the spotlight for once.

    "Piglet's Big Movie" manages to slightly mock classic Pooh characters while still keeping their wonderful charm. It has a good story and great jokes. The soundtrack is spectacular, and I don't even like the artist.

    A touching, and cute film. A film not only for children, but can appeal to older crowds as well. Overall Rating:76

    This is nothing more than a series of clips from previous adventures strung together. Milne must be spinning in his grave.

    I love Winnie the Pooh & Piglet more than anyone I know, but this movie was awful - too much singing. I couldn't wait for it to be over...

    Something about this movie was eerie. It was like there was some hidden material that made me feel weird after I watched it. The music was also good, but not fitting a Pooh movie. It was like an Annie Lennox want to be. I liked it, just not for this movie.

    this movie was so adorable. i was always a fan of piglet because he is so tiny and small like me. well for the most art but anyway this was his spotlight. this was his moment and the high point of his career. this movie is the pinacle of his success.

    this movie shows us ... read morethat you should expect what you very well may not expect.

    my ALLTIME favorite character from the trinities of Winnie the Pooh is Eeyore. he is so cute and is so easily pleased and my mom said he reminded her of me but i do expect quite alot from people who have proven they can give more than what is nessecary. i kinda dislike people like that because they are SUCKUPS. any who i L-O-V-E EEYORE!!!!!!!!

The screenplay by Brian Hohlfeld incorporates three of the original Pooh stories but captures none of the charm of A.A. Milne's droll voice. Full Review

Bother! Or, rather, why bother? Full Review

Fiedler brings his trademark high-pitched squeal to the beloved, childlike Piglet. The other voice actors are just as good, with each one providing great heart and verve for their respective characters.

Even those with a soft spot for Pooh won't find much to like.

It's a wonderful Piglet? Maybe not wonderful, but still pretty darn good. Full Review

Sure it's slight, but also as cute as the curly tail on its tender protagonist.

Screenwriter Brian Hohlfeld imbues the animals with the easily recognizable foibles and insecurities that have made Milne's stories (and the films adapted from them) so endearing through the generations. Full Review

This is harmless fun for the kindergarten crowd, but even they will notice that the Blustery Day video they've been playing at home is a lot better. Full Review

Piglet, the gosh-darned cute sidekick of Winnie the Pooh, manages to carry this warm and fuzzy animated feature on his wee shoulders.

I suggest you get out the books, which for once can truly be said to be more spectacular than the movie. Full Review
