    Good movie! Overall, delightful, charming and a lovely nostalgic trip down memory lane, if only it wasn't so short. Recommended for all kids!

    I couldn't stop giggling. I'm so sorry, but this is too good for those who don't understand the value of sincerity, a wonderful, silly hodge-podge narrative, and just plain ticklish fun. As ticklish as Pooh can get and his ravenous tummy wiggles.

    Ah, Winnie the Pooh, what is not the love about a yellow bear that loves nothing more than the sweet taste of honey? "Winnie the Pooh" is just a new adventure featuring all the classic characters. Winnie, Tigger, Owl, Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, and Christopher Robin ar... read moree all here, and as good as ever. Eeyore has lost his tail, and the gang then begins to find him a new tail, while Pooh is on the search for honey because his tummy won't stop growling for it. Featuring new songs by the fantastic Zooey Deschanel, this is a great trip down memory lane, and a good way to introduce a new generation to Pooh. Runs at only an hour long, it feels short, but perfectly timed at the same time. I really hope they continue to release more Pooh movies like this. Animated movies have felt like they were missing something lately, and I think Pooh fills that void nicely. Harmless, family fun that everyone should, and will enjoy.

    It's a strange and sad little world we live in when trash like The Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Cars 2 are so popular. Especially when there are wonderful alternatives such as this latest offering of Pooh. I would like to congratulate Disney on giving us such a funny and ... read moreheartwarming family film. Not once do they devolve into pop-culture gags, thank god. Those types of jokes aren't funny and they actually make me angry. This film was hilarious. From Eeyore's assurance that Owl did sneeze, to Roo suggesting Piglet go down the pit "Send the pig!". Cleese narrates this series of adventures loosely strung together by Pooh's search for honey, and a replacement tail for Eeyore. There is also a monster known as the Bakson. The gang join together in their special ways and give us a series of songs that highlight the beauty of Pooh. Pooh is obviously struggling with a pretty serious addiction, whilst Eeyore faces the challenge of depression. The film is set out as a book. We see the characters breaking the fourth wall, and leaping over letters. Even using them as tools at times. The animation is traditional 2D and looks amazing. I loved the voice work, even with some of the classic voices being replaced. Fergusen makes a very know-it-all Owl, and Luckey has the perfect Eeyore voice. I was also surprised that they managed to capture the sweet essence of childhood, all the way to the final credits, where we see the truth to all the imagination. The only problem was at 60 mins, it didn't feel entirely complete. I hope this will be the film that parents show to their kids, rather than all the other crap that is out there.

    Not a very good film. The story and artwork was too simple -- no where as good as Ice Age (for instance). I suppose the fact that it teaches a moral (look after your neighbours before yourself) is a plus.

    My Thoughts: "The film is simply sweet, cute, funny, and charming. My niece's and nephew's loved the movie. I loved it as well. I have been such a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh ever since I was very young. I had many Winnie the Pooh toys growing up. I love all the films and the cartoon. It's a classic that never grows old. It's a film for all who love the Hundred Acre Woods."

    "Ever have one of those days where you just can't win, Eeyore?"

    It's a charmingly animated and amusing new Winnie the Pooh tale with a soundtrack by Zooey Deschanel. That's literally all the information you need. If you loved Pooh as a little kid (or a not so little kid) or you ... read morehave kids of your own, you simply can't go wrong with this warm story of friendship, honey, missing tails, a villainous "Backson", and a very hungry stuffed bear named Pooh.

    Some of the new voices take some time to get used to, but this is such a beautifully drawn feast for the eyes and I found it far funnier than someone my age probably should have. It was a genuinely clever movie, with a surprising amount of jokes (if you love puns, you'll be in stitches) that will fly directly over the heads of young ones but score direct hits for those who are older. Winnie the Pooh is truly something that people of all ages can enjoy. It's short, too, so even the little ones of the family with their frequently tiny attention spans can probably make it all the way through.

    And where else are you going to find a song that existentially proves that everything is made of honey?

    It's fun and simple, and it captures the spirit of Pooh that I've been hungry for more of for a while, but it also ditches some traditional pooh-isms that I was looking forward to seeing back on the big screen.

    Disney hand drawn animation has done it again. The story consists of many story segments, but the main one is Pooh trying to find honey, but other stories are everyone trying to find Eeyore a new tail and everyone thinking Christopher Robin was taken by a monster called the Back... read moreson when they read a sign Christopher left that says Back Soon. Winnie the Pooh is the first hand drawn animated film by Disney since Princess and the Frog, and although its not as good as that, it brought me back to my younger days when my mom would put in the Winiw the Pooh original film, in other words it reminded me of when I was very young, and thats true magic. The voice actors do a great job at voicing these legendary characters, and although I didn't enjoys the voice acting of Tom Kenny as Rabbit because he was using his SpongeBob voice too much, I have to admit I started to like it after a while. The songs were good in my opinion, but after Princess and the Frog I was expecting some more groundbreaking songs, but Zooey Deshanel made a great new version of the opening song. The plot is many different stories put into one, Pooh wanting honey, Eyyore missing a tail, the friends believing Christophger Robin has been taken by a monster, and Tigger trying to make Eeyore his sidekick, and overall, it was quite cute little story for younger kids, which adults need to realize thats who this movie is aimed at, and for those who were raiosed on Winnie the Pooh. My only problem was the movie is only about an hour long, and shouldve been made straight to video in my opinion. This was a great animated movie, and Disney should keep up the good work.

    The last time we were given an on-screen Winnie the Pooh adventure was back in 2005 with "Pooh's Heffalump Movie", and that wasn't really the greatest tale from our loveable storybook characters. A good six years later, its about time the gang is back for some good ol' classic fu... read moren! Pooh has had a couple of short adventures here and there, but it's a great feeling to see him back up on the big-screen once again, especially for families to go out and see together. Out of all the animations this year, Winnie the Pooh is the best when it comes to being a light-hearted, enjoyable tale that doesn't contain plots that'll be over children's heads (For example: Rango). Then again, Winnie the Pooh doesn't contain much of a plot at all, or a valuable one at least. It's definitely not the best Pooh adventure yet, but it is the cutest, and that's what really makes this one worth while.

    Using classic hand-drawn animation is one of the biggest pluses this film has to offer. Can you imagine a computer-animated Pooh movie? Neither could I, and I wouldn't want to either. Seeing Pooh on the big screen brought me back to when I was a kid, and I'd watch the 1990's cartoon series. The animation here is definitely much better than the past few Pooh flicks, "The Tigger Movie", "Piglits Big Movie", and "Pooh's Heffalump Movie", which looked like much more modern animation for its time. The animation here is absolutely beautiful and you can't help but walk out happy. Your not just walking out of something that hasn't been done for animated films in so long, but your walking out of a theater that literally just brought you in a swarm of different memories of you as a child, watching Pooh, the classic Pooh.

    Winnie the Pooh just wouldn't be Winnie the Pooh without the great Jim C*mmings. Though Pooh has been around for decades, once Jim C*mmings came into the character he was really brought to life in my opinion. C*mmings brought Pooh and even Tigger to a new level in 1988 with a 4-season running series that broke off into many different shorts, films, and even modernized series over the past twenty-some odd years. Lets just put it this way, Winnie the Pooh has never actually been gone these past six years. This is the movie that'll just help us find the character once again. John Cleese taking a whack at being the Narrator in the film was perfect in my opinion. I loved the Narrator in this film, he was simple, funny, and very helpful in different ways. Going along for the adventure with Pooh and his friends the entire film, without the Narrator a character would be missing. This is technically a storybook, ya know? Ken Sansom doesn't return as Rabbit, but is replaced here by Tom Kerry (voice of Spongebob Squarepants), who does a pretty good job voicing the character. Whether it's a new actor voicing the character, or a returning one, every character sounds as they should.

    Everyone from Hundred Acre Wood is back, folks! All of your favorite characters are here to play, and beyond all, entertain. There's Eeyore, Owl, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, and of course, Christopher Robin. Growing up my favorite character was always Tigger. He was fun, energetic, and always putting a huge smile on my face. Seeing Tigger once again was great and I had a huge smile on my face whenever he'd hop on scene. There is a scene he has with Eeyore that I loved in particular, and I think that all audiences will get a kick out of. Seeing all of these characters back together once again was a perfect theater experience. If you're an adult with a younger child, this movie is mostly aimed at you, because now you can bring your kid out and introduce him to a forest full of characters hard not to love. It's always a fun time with Winnie the Pooh and his friends, lets just hope we can visit Hundred Acre Wood much more often now.

    Here comes the negativity. While I did have fun throughout the whole sixty-three minute runtime, the movie lacks in a storyline that keeps your interest high. To be completely honest, I'd have to say that The Tigger Movie was a lot better than this because it had an actual storyline that meant something. There are no morals or lessons to be learned when watching Winnie the Pooh, and throughout the entire movie you feel like the storyline is almost as simple as a twenty-minute episode would be from the original series. For an on-screen movie, the story could've been crafted much more perfectly. The trailers make this film look absolutely beautiful and filled with emotion, but the movie doesn't have any of it at all. The closet thing to emotion you'll get out of Pooh is feeling like a kid again, but the inner-story needed a whole lot more than that.

    In the end, Winnie the Pooh will make you smile and be a fun time at the movies, especially thanks to the musical numbers filled with catchy lyrics and simple rhythms. The storybook concept was always favored by me, mostly because of how unique the style of film-telling it is, presenting it as a storybook and all. Due yourself a favor and visit your friends at Hundred Acre Wood because you never know when they'll be on the big-screen again. The movie may lack deeply in plot, but thanks to the cute scenes and hilarious interactions between the characters, Winnie the Pooh is a good, fun watch for anyone.
