Excellent, Without a doubt!!

As Good As It Gets

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

My thoughts are basically summed up in the title: Pooh's adventures are every bit as sweet as his favourite food. For as long as I can remember I have simply adored Winnie the Pooh, as well as Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo, and Eeyore. They, as well as Christopher Robin, all show up in this lively little collection of shorts. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh includes Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too. In Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Pooh, with the help of Christopher Robin, decides to find a way to get honey from a tree undetected. Christopher Robin gives Pooh a balloon and paints him to resemble a rain cloud. Later at Rabbit's house, Pooh eats so much that he gets stuck in Rabbit's door. Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day is about how a windy day knocks over Owl's house and the gang have to find him a new one. That night, Tigger visits Pooh and tells him about how Heffalumps and Woozles steal honey, causing Pooh to dream about them. The next morning, Pooh wakes up to a flood and climbs into a tree with all his honey pots. Piglet meanwhile, has been swept from his house on a chair while Pooh falls into the water with a honey pot on his head. Finally, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too tells of how Rabbit, after being bounced by Tigger for the umpteenth time, holds a meeting with Pooh and Piglet. The trio travel through the foggy woods with Tigger, but Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit end up separated from each other: Pooh and Piglet keep passing the exact same sandpit while Rabbit gets lost in the deep woods and begins freaking out. When it snows, Roo and Tigger go off together but get stuck up a tree. Roo manages to bounce down onto Christopher Robin's coat but Tigger is afraid and promises never to bounce again. With reassurance from the narrator, Tigger climbs down on the words and once on the ground he starts to bounce but is reminded of his promise. This causes Tigger to go off alone but he returns when everyone else agrees that they prefer the old Tigger and everyone starts bouncing. Overall, spectacular story, music, and animation, a gentle narrator, and characters that I have grown to love.

The last Walt Disney Animated Studios film to be worked on by Walt Disney himself. And as far as last films go, he could have done a lot worse. Made even more impressive by the fact that prior to this film, not a lot of people knew who Winnie the Pooh even was. Yes, there was a time when Winnie the Pooh was a nobody, a complete unknown. It sounds unbelievable, when looking at the children's toy aisles nowadays, but the fact remains.Originally released as three short films, making this more of an anthology film, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh details the adventures of the folk of the Hundred Acre Wood. By now you all know these characters already, from melancholy Eeyore to lecturing Owl to harried Rabbit, but this is the film that put them on the map, and it does it magnificently. All the characters are introduced properly and all of them are immediately likable. Gopher, the new addition the franchise, is bit of a hit and miss with those that grew up with the original A. A. Milne stories, but personally I like him alright.The various stories are enchantingly simple, yet immensely memorable. The last time I saw this film had been as a little child, yet I remembered it all. In perfect detail, to my great surprise. The animation style is also magnificent. This is the last of the so called scratchy Disney film, utilizing the Xerox copy paste method, but in this case it's a perfect fit, capturing the charm and essence of the original illustrations.The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was one of my favourite films growing up, and its charm, innocence and simple goodness still hold up. It's a movie that captures the soul of childhood, being both simple and wondering yet surprisingly wise and caring at the same time. Definitely worth a watch, no matter your age.

I do have some wonderful childhood memories associated with this film. It's a collection of short Winnie the Pooh cartoons. Each story is just as good as the others. Worth watching with your kids - it's very cute. All the songs in this movie are cute. My favorite is The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers - just as fun and bouncy as Tigger himself. I can still remember part of the song! If you like this film, then I recommend other Disney films that are just as cute with a good story for kids: "Dumbo", "The Fox and the Hound", "Bambi" and "Pinocchio". 8/10

I mean honestly, who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh and the whole crew? They are who you grew up with (at least kids in the 90s and before) and will never die in our hearts. They teach us important life lessons, play into our imaginations, and will always make the old feel young again. What can you possibly say about it that people don't already know? Whenever I have kids they will definitely be having this as apart of their childhood. Sometimes I still watch these shows for my Saturday morning cartoon fix. I refuse to let my inner child die and I have these cartoons to thank for helping with that. God bless Disney for bringing them to life for us (I'm not even religious!) and I hope animators find a way to bring this particular series back without ruining the originals. The other movies and things that have been made with them just aren't the same as this series. Thank you, Disney! Thank you for my beautiful childhood!
