Purely Joyful Movie!

Just perfect...

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I was really excited when I heard this movie was going to be released, but on the day my mother took me to see it, all my hope for this movie was thrown out the window. "Winnie the Pooh" is absolute garbage from start to finish. The only positives I have about this film are the animation and the "Everything is Honey" sequence. That's it. The rest of it is trash.First of all, most of the characters, with the exceptions of Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet and Christopher Robin, are completely unlikable and out of character; Especially Kanga and Roo. Rabbit and Owl switch roles and act very annoying. Piglet and Eeyore are abused throughout almost the entire movie because seeing characters getting tortured is funny.The voice acting, except Jim Cummings as Pooh and Tigger, is beyond lazy. Tom Kenny does a pathetic attempt as Rabbit. He's basically SpongeBob SquarePants in a rabbit costume. Most of the songs are terribly written and horribly sung as well. Like I said, the only song that had at least SOME effort put into it was "Everything is Honey." The story is all over the place and at some points, they shove it off to the side to either make Eeyore and Piglet miserable or tell jokes that aren't even remotely funny.Ever since my young childhood, I grew up with Disney's adaptation of "Winnie the Pooh." This version of it spits on the legacy of these beloved characters and puts them into a movie that absolutely butchers them. I cannot believe how many positive reviews this film has gotten. Disney didn't even try or care to make it good. They just recycled plot elements from previous movies and made it as sloppy as possible.If you have a young kid who loves "Winnie the Pooh," I recommend "Piglet's Big Movie" or any of the others starring the character. They are so much better than this.

When I first heard that Winnie the Pooh was having another theatrical release I was excited, however when it was released in 2011, it only had a limited release and was at played only once a day, maybe because it was its box office revenue being released at the same time of the epic conclusion of Harry Potter, Australia released a few months after HP. Looking at the movie it still has the charm like the previous Winnie the Pooh films, the simple and fun stories that makes it nostalgic and fun for the fans who've watched Winnie the Pooh when they were younger and some younger viewers will have a Winnie the Pooh that they'll remember, the first Winnie the Pooh movie I've seen was 'Pooh's Grand Adventure' and I loved the movie, despite its dark imagery. I love it how the animators kept so close to the original design of the characters and landscape towards the real Hundred Acre Woods in Sussex, England (yes there's a real one for those that don't know much about Pooh Bear) and close with the Milne's designs of the characters but adaptable for the screen. The songs are very catchy and very Sherman Brothers-esque and Zooey Deschanel did great singing for the songs as well. Plus some songs that were written by the Sherman Brothers themselves are in the movie as well. The character are well into place and their slow thinking is laughable as well. Such scenes like Owl flying out of the hole and told Piglet his speech, however the other characters were shocked about Owl but it was his speech that they were pleased about in the end. Compare the slow thinking towards a show like 'Spongebob Squarepants' the more modern episodes. You have Patrick who's stupid but he's like incredibly stupid that you just want to hit him. Whereas in the earlier episodes he was dumb but in more likable status. The characters in the film are slow thinkers but they've done it more in a likable status. The voice acting was great too, especially the talents of Jim Cummings and Tom Kenny, yes the guy who did the voice of Spongebob a show that I've criticised has some talent. Plus he did more voices other than Spongebob. Although Tom Kenny's voice for Rabbit almost make him sound like Spongebob you can tell he at least tried and did well to capture the original voice of Rabbit and it was so good. Jim Cummings has great talent too, a voice actor that I've grown up from childhood still captures his Winnie the Pooh and Tigger voice in todays standards. John Cleese was an excellent choice for narration, the Monty Python and Fawlty Towers legend has such a great storytelling voice. The other VA's like Craig Ferguson also done well with the characters. I understand that the film has a lesser time limit unlike many other animated films but I really don't mind the shorter time, it is still good and fun with its simple storytelling and most of it captured the 1977 classic, which i'm also a fan of, such as the breaking of the fourth wall were Pooh and the characters talk to the narrator. It has charm, wit with its simplicity and fun with some nostalgia for the older viewers who are big Winnie the Pooh fans, the young at heart, like myself, or parents who did grew up with the lovable bear and have children of their own.

So I saw this today on Five and I really found it cute as it brought me back to my childhood where I watch all the hand-drawn movies again from The Lion King even to The Little Mermaid,I was always a fan of Hand- Drawn animation always have always will. I even love today's CGI movies even though A lot of the charcthers look the same but with a different voice or hairstyle.Moving on to this movie this is of course a Walt Disney Animation Studios Picture and its the last ever movie to be done in hand-drawn form as The Princess & The Frog was the last ever Disney Princess movie to be done in hand-drawn form before Tangled came out a year later in CGI form marking it its first CGI Disney princess movie. SO what is this film about well its about Winnie and his friends who have to search for Eeryores tail which goes missing. So they go off and find his tail. There's a couple of songs thrown in from Zooey Deschnail from Elf who did a few songs in this movie and the songs here are done by husband and wife duo Kirsten Anderson Lopez(who provides the voice of the female kangaroo),and Robert Lopez(both of whom did the music for the highly overrated flick Frozen which is taking the world by storm now).For barely an hour long its nice to see a hand-drawn movie which Disney is known for doing best since Disney started n 1937 with Snow Whit & The Seven Dwarfs. Bottom line I enjoyed this movie and the narration is done by John Cleese who tells the story by reading a book. Overall im glad that I was able to see this finale of hand-drawn animation and here is to Disney for the near future. Check it out and see what you can think of itR.I.P to hand drawn movies 1937-2011

So me and my brother got this movie at our local library and we thought this movie was going to be good but we did not like this movie. I gave it a 3/10 and my brother gave it a 1/10. There was a very little funny part in this movie. Like when every one but Winnie The Pooh put a picnic over the hole to capture the fake monster then Winnie The Pooh sees honey at the picnic then falls into the hole. Then Winnie starts to call for help then every one comes into the hole to help Winnie out but the cant get out by their self. Only piglet was out of the hole so he grabs a rope then the others say give the other side and pule when we say pule the rope so piglet rips the rope into five pieces and the others were mad. so that's all bye.
