tankace There are few things to say about this 40 year old film and now I believe it is the best time for that. When I was a little ball (I was quit fat as a kid) I constantly watch everything related with this cute honey loving bear and it wasn't for nothing. As for this film I can't remember how many times I have watch it but I am pretty sure it is close to a dozen.For though it is ground breaking or revolutionary in the story department it is cute ,funny, calm and quit relaxing and if you were like me in my youth ,I had a lot of stress and I needed something to put my always working brain at ease. Safe to say that this film fulfill that goal perfectly.To add a last thing the designs of the places and the characters are so cute that I want to hang them right now as I am writing this review.If you have little children now and you want then to watch something relaxing before going to sleep then that film will do the job.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) 1) Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree - This 20-minute, Grammy award nominated, animated short film from almost 50 years ago was actually the first appearance of the honey-addicted bear Winnie the Pooh on the screen. The director is German Wolfgang Reitherman. You could basically divide it into two parts. In the first half, Pooh Bear realizes that he has no more honey left. So he goes to get some, but obviously taking honey means getting in trouble with bees. And that's exactly what happens. After he and his pal Christopher Robin are chased by a huge quantity of bees, he gives up and thinks about other ways to get honey. Thankfully, his rabbit buddy still has some and so he visits him and eats it all up. Unfortunately, afterward, Pooh is too fat to get out of the rabbit hole and he is stuck. Christopher Robin knows no solution either, so Pooh Bear has to wait till he loses enough weight to get out on his own again. Of course, he still wants to eat honey while he is stuck. I have to say this was not a horrible short film by any means, but it's still too little material for over 20 minutes in my opinion. This was the first Pooh Bear film, was even made before the Soviet adaptation, but it's certainly not the best. Not recommended.2) Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day - They say when you have nothing to talk about you just talk about the weather and this also applies to this 20-minute short film. Basically, everything that happens in here is massive rainfall and resulting from it a huge flood. The director is Wolfgang Reitherman again and this one here won an Oscar even, the last for Walt Disney, quite a while after his death already. It was the second entry to the American Pooh series. However, I felt that just like with the first there was too little interesting action in here. Tigger was entirely forgettable really in here. Even his presentation was nothing special. Piglet added something nice and also shows us that Pooh is not only an always-hungry bear, but also a loyal friend. But the ending was so weird nonetheless. Owl randomly moves into Piglet's home and he just have to go? That was so strange. Why wouldn't the owl simply move in with Pooh. Anyway, all in all certainly one of the weaker Academy Award winners from the Best Animated Short Film category. Not recommended.3) Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too - This is the third and last of the Winnie Pooh trilogy by Wolfgang Reitherman and Sterling Holloway. Just like the second, it got nominated for an Academy Award, but this time it did not win. After watching all three of these I have to say that I prefer the 3 Soviet Films about Winnie Pooh. They have as much action as these American films, but it's much more essential as not all of the Russian films run for 20 minutes. There's just not enough happening in here. I even wondered after the first how Rabbit became a friend of everybody and after watching this third film I have to ask that question again. I mean he is really mean to Tigger here. Yes the bouncing may be annoying, but why forbid him to do it. And what was up with that Hansel & Gretel idea of leaving him alone in the deserted forest? Seriously? That's just cruel. In any case, I do not recommend this third film either.

Rainey Dawn 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

Chris Mizerak Ah, long loved Disney icon Winnie the Pooh, My childhood wasn't complete without you. The many magical, pleasant trips and revisits To your world were nothing short of exquisite. But before the countless shows and films on the silly old bear came through, There was the 1977 feature, "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh". Having a look at this film long after my childhood had to end, I was once again reminded why this character was a great friend. My enjoyment of the film isn't just limited to the Pooh bear. I'm surprised people underestimate the high quality that's there. It might be because this 22nd animated feature from Disney Is really composed of the theatrical Pooh featurettes three. In other words, instead of just one main narrative, We get three. But they're done well. I can live. The first part of the movie consists of Pooh working up an appetite For honey from a honey tree, though the bees won't give him a bite. Pooh goes to his best friend Christopher Robin to seek his assistance Since Pooh loves honey so much that he'll maintain his persistence. He'll use anything he can whether it's a balloon or a disguise, Even relying on his friend Rabbit to provide his desired prize. The following adventure of Winnie the Pooh's takes place on a blustery day Where everything, including his friend Piglet, is literally being blown away. If harsh wind weren't enough, it rains until the creation of a flood. No worries, this isn't the plot of "Noah" (2014). That film was a dud. During this crazy weather, Pooh has a nightmare regarding his precious honeyAnd how "heffalumps and woozles" steal it away as if it were lost and found money. The third narrative of the flick centers on an excitable and energized tiger. He's Tigger and he bounces so much it's a miracle he never seems to tire. Yes, everyone seems to enjoy Tigger well enough except for Rabbit, Who believes his bounces are too rough and makes dodging him his new habit. Will Rabbit be able to put Tigger's bounciness to the test and get rid of it? Or will everyone including Rabbit give in to Tigger's positive, jumpy spirit?These three primary stories are eventually connected At the end in a way that not many of us expected. I won't spoil it for the few who haven't been acquainted With the film, so all I'll say is it's quiet and restrained. Some surprising words to say about this picture, I know. But if you know what I'm referring to, you too would say "Whoa!" It's touching and deep without being sad or tear-jerking Since it addresses what every kid must go through. There's a time in every kid's life where their chances of returning To permanent playtime will be reduced to very few. The film handles that material in the final act perfectly. It's one of the only new things created exclusively for the movie, But I don't mind since it's handled with such grace and subtlety. Even if it's three narratives in one, this is still a well told story. The type of narrative that this picture did provide Was cinematically equivalent to seeing kids at playtime. You could literally feel the imagination unfold in front of you. It truly feels like your children obtained a new point of view. It's very rare for a children's film to come around Where death or violence is nowhere to be found. But Disney's storytellers still have plenty to work with here, Since the characters they create give you good reason to cheer. Pooh's legendary obsession with honey has proved to be his weakness, But his upbeat attitude and optimistic personality are impossible to resist. Tigger has been known to unintentionally scare some of his friends off With his energetic pouncing and bouncing, but he never meant to be rough. He's still a fun playmate to be around - pouncing, bouncing and all. With the innocence and stamina of a little kid, he's simply a ball. I embrace a kid's flick that has confidence in the characters they create That all the narrative needs to do is just observe them without debate. I think of all the animated films Disney was producing during the 60's and 70's, This one was best suited for the sketchy animation the studio drew in a breeze. It fits the laid-back atmosphere and world that Pooh and his pals occupy Without giving us the feeling that more detail is what the animators need to supply. The Sherman Brothers, who wrote the wonderful musical soundtrack to "Mary Poppins" (1964), Supply the music here with such memorable tunes as the "Winnie the Pooh" theme song, "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", "Heffalumps and Woozles" and many more. All of us have our own places for escapism in our childhoods, just like Christopher Robin's. "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" is a place where kids and adults can tag along On an enjoyable adventure where there's truly something for everyone in store.
