Review of Winnie the Pooh (2011) by Kenneth E — 30 Aug 2012
Disney Animation Studios has succeeded in the seemingly impossible; they have carbon-copied the original Pooh film, down to the simplistic artwork and charming voices... and yet managed to make the final product extremely unsatisfying.
Deliberately contrived to illicit memories of the Original, there are very few surprises and very little originality. Overall, this Pooh is one of the studio's weakest efforts for an animated feature film since the 40's package-films like "Fun and Fancy Free;" not including the end credits, which practically run the length of the film, this is an overstuffed short flick, not unlike Pixar's "Tin Toy" and "Geri's Game.
" Unless you are a Pooh fan who cherishes every little bit of the "silly old bear," you will feel cheated and let down. I am depressed, as this film singularly represents the final nail in the coffin for Disney's 2D animation department.
