Review of Winnie the Pooh (2011) by Catarina B — 10 Sep 2011
Walking into a small army base theater as a 19 year old bearded and mustached older man look-a-like with me, myself, and I, it was pretty awkward for people to look at me with strange looks. I felt like people were going to ask me if I was a pedophile or something. I wish I tagged along with anther fellow movie lover or just any friend of mine. Once I walked into the dark theater after paying in the lobby, all was well.
It's great to see a magnificent family oriented film that everyone will love. This film did not seem like it was just for the kids but for the adults and parents as well. With the many adult themed references, (unlike the crude ones from the Shrek franchise) and with the cute, adorable, and clever comedy between the residents of the hundred acre wood, I was able to get many laughs out of this.
The songs that were a part of this film were a great addition, especially because they are sung by the very talented Zooey Deschanel. Her voice is a joy.
The one aspect of this film I was not so fond of was the choices of actors' voices to play the many animals. I definitely approve of Jim Cummings and Travis Oates who both provided the voices of Pooh and Tigger (Cummings) and Piglet (Oates). Cummings was especially fantastic for his work with Pooh and Tigger, they sounded just as I remembered from my childhood years.
I greatly enjoyed this film and will definitely rent it on DVD for my family to experience.
Winnie the Pooh, I give you an 80%.
