Winnie the Pooh (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)
N**2
Smart, Wholesome, and Fun for Mu Kids and Me
My daughter played this on a loop from 2 to 4 until the disc got scratched. With my second son almost old enough, it is the first movie thst I want to introduce him to.Also, we play the soundtrack constantly in the car; all the songs are well-written, the music arrangements are awesome and the lyrics are so smart and playful.For me, the best Disney movie ever.

Perfectly Pooh
I'm a Pooh fanatic. I see each release in the theater on opening day. This one does not disappoint. Disney did a great job keeping Pooh true to himself. The best way to view it is with preschool age children. Their surprise and laughter is inspiring and a great testimony to how well done the movie is. The theater on opening day rang with innocent, jubilant laugher from all ages. It was the sweetest thing.

Thank you Disney. You brought the Pooh I knew back.
Full disclosure: my wife is a Winnie the Pooh nut. Like "lock her in a hunny-colored room" nut. So I've seen a lot of Winnie the Pooh movies, shows, figures, stuffed animals, shirts, hats, coats... Anyway.The classic adventures and the original stores have always held a special place in my heart. But over the past years, Disney has expanded the Pooh-neverse into tales of Heffalumps, Tigger families, new children, and adventures that weren't even imaginable in the 100 Acre Wood. And I'll admit: I've laughed along with some of these tales, and still get a kick of seeing Eeyore hung up in a Christmas tree with angel wings, droning his "fa-la-la-la-la." But for the most part, these weren't really Winnie the Pooh stories to me.But a ray of sunshine came in on this film. Inspired by (and drawing from) the tale of Eeyore's missing tail, lovingly animated in a glorious 2D style, and written with care and understanding of each of the characters, this film nailed it for me.From Pooh's sentient tummy, to Piglet's not-knot jokes. Kanga's "I'm with Child" and Roo's "Send the pig." I found myself remembering, loving, and appreciating the characters more than I had in years. Suitable for ALL (literally) ages with plenty of subtle and overt humor, this could be the last Winnie the Pooh story I ever see, and I'd be content.Bonus: Watch through the credits for a fun easter-egg scene.

Almost, but not quite
Being inarticulate enough to say what's wrong exactly, I'll try to give my impressions. It didn't feel right, and didn't leave the same satisfaction that Pooh normally would. Some of the songs were... weird? Modern maybe, or pointless? They just didn't fit with my idea of Pooh, but maybe they fit the movie fine because I got the same impression there. I don't know if it was pacing, or feeling, or exactly what, but instead of the mental tactile image of a fluffy bear I got more of a sleek or sandpaper bear. I think the attitude was just off. Probably they are trying to compete with all the other movies being made. So either it worked for them and they can now keep up with all the other loud and fast, gruff and fly by night fads out there, or what used to be different and special is gone, and instead of gaining something we lost something. It's still a decent story, with cute songs, and memorable characters - even if they are slightly distorted. I can't think of anything more pooh-like to recommend than Pooh, but as far as Pooh vs. Pooh, I think he was having one of Eeyore's bad days.

Too Similar to the Other Movie
This is actually not that bad a movie. The animation is quite nice. And, for those who found /The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh/ disjointed because it was an anthology rather than a single story, this may be better, as it is one story.Those who haven't seen the former film might also find this to be, not just a fine movie, but a good one. I was a bit distracted by the voices, which don't entirely match. This would probably not matter, but it didn't take much to figure out what the "reveal" would be.OTOH, those with small Pooh-friends at home should find this pleasing to them.

Love it!!
We enjoyed watching this movie again.. I will be purchasing two more for my adult children to share with their children. Winnie the Pooh is such a sweet character that shouldn’t go away.

Epically fun and epically short.
I've been a fan of Winnie the Pooh since I was a little boy watching it with my Saturday cartoons. It was magical, enchanting, and comical. Disney grasps my childhood again with this wonderful remake of the classical series that I still have VHS's of in my college dorm room. Here's the thing though, it's short. It feels really short. It's less than 90 min making it feel like you just watched a short marathon of episodes on TV. It doesn't stop abruptly--the pacing and flow of the story is fine--but when you reach the end you're left wanting more. The voice of Rabbit bothered me a little because I am so used to the old voice of Rabbit, but that shouldn't stop anyone from buying this DVD. The only question whether or not to buy this movie should be "Do I think the $/min ratio is good enough for me?"I believe if you liked the Winnie the Pooh in the past, you won't regret getting this movie.

A film for all ages
You could be forgiven in assuming that a modern Winnie the Pooh will be heavily targetted at toddlers, or worse still a shameless hollow parody of the original Disney adaptation 'the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'. Thankfully such assumptions could not be further from the truth. Yes, there are many references to the earlier film (an obvious example being Pooh's trippy honey halucinations). Thankfully there is such a charm and wit to the proceedings that these similarities feel fresh and engaging, without swamping the narrative in lazy nostalgia. The humour of both the original adaptation and Milne's novels is present throughout. There were many gags that made me laugh at loud. I cannot think of a recent live action comedy film which so frequently hits the mark.As many other reviewers have mentioned the animation is very traditional in style. The characters and backgrounds are reminiscent of Disney's works through the 60's and early 70's. This adds to the general impression that a lot of care and love has been dedicated to the final film, rather than the somewhat sterile feel that often typifies modern animation, whether CGI or hand-illustrated. I understand that the film industry is a business (the clue is in the name), but it would be fantastic if more films could exhibit the same levels of personal attention shown thoughout 'Winne the Pooh'. I hesitate to say it, but such attention to detail makes the case for film as an art form, rather than merely an entertainment industry.I cannot recommend this film highly enough!
