A waste of 90 minutes of my life
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreI've rarely liked most of the Disney spinoffs and sequels but to me the 'Winnie the Pooh' sequels are an exception. I've only seen the delightful 'Piglet Movie' and now I've had the joy to watch 'Pooh's Heffalump Movie'. I miss the handdrawn Disney movies nowadays and it is great to see that Disney still makes such quality stuff even though that's rare thanks to nonsense like 'High School Musical' dominating the franchise. In 'Pooh's Heffelump Movie', the animation is vivacious as ever but where it succeeds most is with its adorable characters who have maintained their essence and consistency. The whole gang, that is Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Rabbit, Roo and Iyor are here. The comic situations are hilarious and the story is fun too. It has heart and is told in an endearing way that will capture children's attention (yes, there is a lesson to be learned too) but adults can enjoy it just as much with their kids. The new character, Lumpy, has got to be one of the cutest 'member' of the elephant family. But, Lumpy isn't merely some cute caricature. He is brilliantly written and voiced as a real character, that of a curious playful child seeking for adventure with a new friend. The score is splendid and it is always a pleasure to hear Carly Simon's beautiful voice. This little movie is neatly packed in a solid 75 minutes but it doesn't feel rushed at all. One of the last few underrated little gems of Disney.
... View MoreIs it just me, or is that Lumpy the cutest Heffalump EVER??? He has his little accent, and cuddly little ears... he is just too cute! They really should have more movies like this one. I am a big Winnie the Pooh fan! And it makes me a little upset, when I heard that they are going to change Christopher Robin, who was the name of AA Milne's son, with a little girl. I'm like, WHAT??? They didn't do it in this movie, but, still! Come on people! AA Milne wrote these stories for his little son!!! We grew up with Christopher Robin!!!! But, anyway, this movie is too cute! You have to see it! I highly recommend this movie! Watch it! You won't be disappointed!!!
... View Morei give this an 7 out of ten mainly because i loved the film- but not because of the actual film- but Heffalump- i LOVE Heffalump so much!!!!! and it was SO great for the movie. even so i didn't think the movie was as good. i enjoyed it but I'm not exactly about to rush out and buy it on DVD. even so it has been a long time since i have seen it so i may soon rent it outI took my little sister to see it at the cinema and she loved every minute of it- so it is definitely a good film to keep children occupied, and also a good film for the young at heart like me.Overall it was a petty good film.
... View MoreWhat a lovely storybook film...with a truly beautiful musical score by Joel MeNeely is basically my adult opinion...as I was enchanted by the music score more than anything else...and everything else is so easy to enjoy..I know Carly Simon wrote the songs (and they were nice...!) but the actual score was more enjoyable. My 4 year companion stayed in his seat and laughed (as I did) at Roo and Rabbit's antics especially. This neat and clean 68 minute Disney pic is exactly what I was ready to enjoy but was quite surprised at how gently funny and enchanting it was. If I had a cinema (still) I would have asked Disney to double it for me with DUMBO and sold all seats for $5 to delighted adults who would have brought every kid they knew so we could have a hilarious elephant afternoon.
