Review of Winnie the Pooh (2011) by Jim C — 08 Aug 2011

Disney hand drawn animation has done it again. The story consists of many story segments, but the main one is Pooh trying to find honey, but other stories are everyone trying to find Eeyore a new tail and everyone thinking Christopher Robin was taken by a monster called the Backson when they read a sign Christopher left that says Back Soon.

Winnie the Pooh is the first hand drawn animated film by Disney since Princess and the Frog, and although its not as good as that, it brought me back to my younger days when my mom would put in the Winiw the Pooh original film, in other words it reminded me of when I was very young, and thats true magic.

The voice actors do a great job at voicing these legendary characters, and although I didn't enjoys the voice acting of Tom Kenny as Rabbit because he was using his SpongeBob voice too much, I have to admit I started to like it after a while.

The songs were good in my opinion, but after Princess and the Frog I was expecting some more groundbreaking songs, but Zooey Deshanel made a great new version of the opening song. The plot is many different stories put into one, Pooh wanting honey, Eyyore missing a tail, the friends believing Christophger Robin has been taken by a monster, and Tigger trying to make Eeyore his sidekick, and overall, it was quite cute little story for younger kids, which adults need to realize thats who this movie is aimed at, and for those who were raiosed on Winnie the Pooh.

My only problem was the movie is only about an hour long, and shouldve been made straight to video in my opinion. This was a great animated movie, and Disney should keep up the good work.
