Each vignette is among the funniest, sweetest and most sincere of Disney's projects, and it also connects them all with a magically endearing storybook frame that never feels the least bit contrived. Pooh is such a fantastic character for young kids; he's self-interested, lazy and dumb, which helps his ultimate goodness not be as cloying and fake as many characters for pre-schoolers. For adults, it's a whimsical, beautiful, smart and hilarious confection.

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 Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a classic children's movie. A Disney film based on the books by A.A. Milne, the animated movie follows Winnie the Pooh, an adorable stuffed bear, and his friends as they go on adventures and learn valuable lessons about patience, acceptance, and friendship. The film shows four different chapters from the book, each with their own plot and lesson. The filmmakers used exceptionally creative tactics to make the narrator and the actual book a part of the movie; when shown, the words on the pages move! The characters also jump across pages to get to different scenes, giving the illusion that they are actually inside a book. The film gives great messages and teaches wonderful lessons, but it also has creative and entertaining elements designed to keep the viewer entertained and engaged. Winnie the Pooh was a massive part of my childhood, so it was really fun (and nostalgic) to revisit the film. The familiar voices of the cast brought me right back to the characters and stories that I loved as a kid. The home-made style sound effects and the shifting letters mesmerized me all over again. The film definitely still remains one of my favorites.

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!
