Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

... View MoreHow wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreThis movie was released in 1997 and is the third direct to video sequel after Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of thieves (which I haven't seen them). The movie is about Winnie and his friends going on a quest to find Christopher Robin after he left a letter that said that he was at the lair of the Skullasaurus. As you can see, it's more adventurous than most Pooh movies, which is a complain for most critics. But I like the adventure aspect, it makes the movie more entertaining that other Pooh movies (in my opinion) and also makes it more thrilling. Another positive point is that compared to return of Jafar and Aladdin and the king of thieves, the animation is a big upgrade, the movements feels more fluid, the colors are nice and the backgrounds are very pretty. The song wherever you are is also pretty good (both the version sung by Winnie and the one in the credits). I had to point a flaw it would be the ending, which feels very anticlimactic, manly because the fact that there is no Skullasaurus, which I would have liked to see one. But even with that flaw, Pooh's grand adventure is still a great movie that deserve more attention and love.
... View MoreThis is one of the films that I grew up with, so you can imagine all the childhood nostalgia I feel for this movie. I was actually a little surprised at how much people were complaining about the "dark elements" of this movie. I'll admit the Skull stuff is a little avant garde for Winnie the Pooh. However, there's plenty of other children's films that are dark and much worse than this. Something I really like about this film is that our characters travel beyond the Hundred Acre Woods to far off locations in order to "rescue" their human companion. The characters also get into peril in order to find themselves, which is actually pretty impressive for a kid's film. Overall, this is a great adventure that proves "you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think".
... View MoreMy five year old did not enjoy this movie because Pooh and friends spend most of the movie scared and in perceived peril. Much of the movie looks like they are walking through the Mines of Moria. Everyone is scared, everyone is nervous and it translates right to the kids watching. The gang just goes from one bad situation to another. What is the point? At the end of the movie (which does end sweetly) my daughter exclaimed, "I never want to see that movie again!" As for the DVD extras, I've never been a fan of how Disney handles the heffalumps. Every heffalump sequence seems like an acid trip. The DVD includes an older episode featuring morphing heffalumps. It was just more disturbing stuff that my kid didn't enjoy.
... View MoreThis is a great movie that both my children watched extensively as toddlers. It has good messages for kids, as all Winnie the Pooh cartoons do, and the animation and voice acting are top quality. It's also got some great lines that make me laugh no matter how many times I hear them."Look at the biceps on that bear! I'm not worthy to dangle from the same precipice." - Tigger."Never trust that thing between your ears. Haven't had a need for mine in years." - Rabbit."What's up, buddy bear?" "Piglet is up, Tigger." - Pooh, pointing a Piglet in the top of a tree."Jump down, Piglet! We'll catch you, likely as not!" - Tigger."End of the line. Nothing to do, and no hope of things getting better. Sounds like Saturday night at my house." - Eeyore."There's no difference between falling ten-thousand feet to the jagged rocks below, and tumbling out of bed. Except for the splat at the end, they're practically similar." - Tigger.I find it hard to believe that people would actually criticize this movie negatively. It's a kids' movie for crying out loud. If you've got nothing better to do than watch and criticize kids' movies, you really need to get a life.I gave it a ten. I can't think of anything that could have made it better.
