Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Winnie the Pooh & Christmas Too" is, as the title already gives away, an Emmy-nominated Winnie Pooh Christmas special from almost 25 years ago. It runs for 25 minutes and takes place in winter when we see Winnie, Christopher Robin and the gang trying to deliver us the spirit of Christmas. I am not the greatest Winnie the Pooh fan or the greatest fan of Tigger and the Rabbit (only really like Donkey and Piglet), which may be why I did not like it that much, but also I felt that the humor and the emotion came short here compared to other Winnie the Pooh movies. Of course, the final hug was nice, but that's just not enough, even for 25 minutes only. And I was also missing Winnie's greed for food/honey. It is permanent in other films and in this one here, during a time that is also the season of eating all kinds of delicious stuff, it was basically a non-factor. Is Pooh on a diet or something. Not too great of a watch unless you really love the characters. Thumbs down.

SnoopyStyle Christopher Robin writes a letter to Santa Claus asking for various presents for him and his friends. He sends the letter into the wind. Later, Winnie the Poon realizes that he didn't ask for anything. He and Piglet search and find the letter. They go to Rabbit's house to rewrite the letter. Everybody wants more than their original wishes. Winnie releases the letter. However when he gets home, the letter gets blown under his door. Santa is not getting their letter. Winnie must pretend to be Santa Claus to fulfill the gang's wishes with Piglet as his reindeer. None of the gifts work quite right and the gang confronts the fake Santa.This is an utterly charming Winnie the Pooh cartoon. It has the light comedic touch that its franchise is famous for. It's also so adorable that Winnie the Pooh is dressed up as Santa Claus. The early 90s version just needs colors that are a bit sharper and cleaner. It doesn't need to be re-edited or anything like that. The story works perfectly fine and I expect any post editing is for time only.

utgard14 Christmas special with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. It's a lovely, pleasant, cartoon. A very cute story that will put a smile on most faces. The main plot is about Pooh and friends writing to Santa giving him their wishlist for Christmas. What each of them wants is fun. Pooh tries to hand deliver the letter to the North Pole but doesn't make it. Everybody learns a valuable lesson about what's really important at Christmas. It's a nice Christmas story. Not one of the greats but enjoyable. Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, Gopher, Eeyore are all here. Tigger gets the best lines, as usual. If you like Winnie the Pooh you'll like this cartoon. Give it a shot.

TheLittleSongbird This will be to anyone who's seen it a Christmas classic. It's not my favourite Christmas special, but it is sweet, charming and memorable.The animation is lovely and so is the music. The voice cast enthusiastically bring their likable characters to life, Tigger never fails to crack me up.There are two stories, one when Pooh tries to get his letter to Santa Claus, and the other showing Piglet's struggles with ice skating. The latter is a tad predictable, but is so sweet and well meaning that all is forgiven.Overall, very sweet and charming, and perfect for kids and adults alike. 9/10 Bethany Cox
